Hi,
A very basic question.
AFAIK schedule() selects the next process to run.
Now once it has selected the process, and say if the process is a user
space or kernel space one. how does the switch to user happens,
a) Is it in schedule function . it has to be a arch level function
called from schedule()
b) or Else where, so is there a umberlla function like
somefunc()
{
task_ptr = schedule();
switch_to(task_ptr)
...
}
Can someone explain this
