CVS commit: [sommerfeld_i386mp_1] syssrc/sys/arch/i386/i386



Module Name:    syssrc
Committed By:   sommerfeld
Date:           Tue Apr 30 14:15:16 UTC 2002

Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/arch/i386/i386 [sommerfeld_i386mp_1]: locore.s

Log Message:
Move call to sched_unlock_idle to later in the context switch to
eliminate a race where another processor could grab the outgoing
process before we were done saving our state into it, with predictable
results.

Bug spotted by Frank van der Linden <fvdl%wasabisystems.com@localhost>

Along for the ride:
        clean up register use during switch-to-idle.
        clean up comments regarding register use during context switch.
