30 * The hal_do_cpu_switch() function is an assembly level function, called by the
31 * sched_yield() function, to make a CPU context switch.
32 * The current thread CPU context is identified by the <ctx_current> pointer.
33 * The new thread CPU context is identified by the <ctx_next> pointer.
34 * The architecture specific hal_cpu_context_t structure used to store a CPU context
35 * is defined in the architecture specific hal_context.c file.
36 * This function does NOT modify any register before saving values into context.
37 * When the switch is completed, it jumps to address contained in the relevant
38 * register of the new thread CPU context.
