/*
* Definition of curcpu and curthread.
*
* The machine-dependent header should define either curcpu or curthread
* as a macro (but not both); then we use one to get the other, and include
* the header file needed to make that reference. (These includes are why
* this file isn't rolled into either cpu.h or thread.h.)
*
* This material is machine-dependent because on some platforms it is
* better/easier to keep track of curcpu and make curthread be
* curcpu->c_curthread, and on others to keep track of curthread and
* make curcpu be curthread->t_cpu.
*
* Either way we don't want retrieving curthread or curcpu to be
* expensive; digging around in system board registers and whatnot is
* not a very good idea. So we want to keep either curthread or curcpu
* on-chip somewhere in some fashion.
*
* There are various possible approaches; for example, one might use
* the MMU on each CPU to map that CPU's cpu structure to a fixed
* virtual address that's the same on all CPUs. Then curcpu can be a
* constant. (But one has to remember to use curcpu->c_self as the
* canonical form of the pointer anywhere that's visible to other
* CPUs.) On some CPUs the CPU number or cpu structure base address
* can be stored in a supervisor-mode register, where it can be set up
* during boot and then left alone. An alternative approach is to
* reserve a register to hold curthread, and update it during context
* switch.
*
* See each platform's machine/current.h for a discussion of what it
* does and why.
