/*
* Macro for current thread, or current cpu.
*
* This file should only be included via <current.h> (q.v.)
*
* On mips we track the current thread. There's an architectural
* issue that informs this choice: there's no easy way to find the
* current cpu, the current thread, or even the kernel stack of the
* current thread when entering the kernel at trap time. (On most CPUs
* there's a canonical way to find at least the stack.)
*
* Therefore we do the following:
*
* - We misuse a kernel-settable field of a nonessential MMU register
* to hold the CPU number.
*
* - On trap entry we use this number to index an array that gets us
* both the kernel stack and curthread.
*
* - We tell the compiler not to use the s7 register and keep
* curthread there.
*
* Note that if you want to change this scheme to use a different
* register, or change to a different scheme, you need to touch three
* places: here, the mips-specific kernel CFLAGS in the makefiles, and
* the trap entry and return code.
