28//        Generic Thread Context API definition (implementation in hal_context.c)
29//
30// A thread context is defined by the two (core specific) structures hal_cpu_context_t
31// and hal_fpu_context_t, defined in hal_context.c file, that are accessed with generic
32// void* pointers stored in the thread descriptor.
33// - the "hal_cpu_context_t" struct saves the CPU registers values at context switch.
34// - the "hal_fpu_context_t" struct saves the FPU registers values at FPU switch.

76 * It makes three actions:
77 * 1) It copies the current values of the CPU registers of the core running the parent
78 *    thread to the remote child CPU context.
79 * 2) It patches four slots of this remote child CPU context:
80 *    - the c0_th   slot is set to the child thread descriptor pointer.
81 *    - the sp_29   slot is set to the child kernel stack pointer.
82 *    - the c0_sr   slot is set to kernel mode with IRQ disabled.
83 *    - the c2_ptpr slot is set to the child process GPT value.
84 * 3) It copies the content of the parent thread kernel_stack, to the child thread
85 *    kernel_stack, because the COW mechanism is not available on architectures where
86 *    the data MMU is de-activated in kernel mode.
