// The ctx_handler.h and ctx_handler.c files are part of the GIET nano-kernel.
// This code is used to support context switch when several tasks are executing
// in time multiplexing on a single processor.
// The tasks must be statically allocated to a processor in the boot phase, and
// there is one private scheduler per processor:  NB_CLUSTERS * NB_PROCS
// Each sheduler contains up to NB_TASKS_MAX contexts.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// A task context is an array of 64 words = 256 bytes. 
// It contains copies of processor registers, when the task is not running,
// and some general informations associated to the task.
// - It contains GPR[i], generally stored in slot (i). $0, *26 & $27 are not saved.
// - It contains HI & LO registers.
// - It contains CP0 registers: EPC, SR, CR.
// - It contains CP2 registers : PTPR and MODE.
// - It contains the TTY index for the terminal allocated to the task.

// and  another task, using a round-robin sheduling policy.
// It use the global variable scheduler[] : array indexed by the procid,
// that contains NB_CLUSTERS * NB_PROCS entries.
// The return address contained in $31 is saved in the _current task context
// (in the ctx[31] slot), and the function actually returns to the address
// contained in the ctx[31] slot of the new task context. To perform the
// actual switch, it calls the _task_switch function written in assembly language.
