2018-01-06	x86/tcb: minor context switch optimization	Richard Braun
	Interrupts are always disabled on context switch/load. As a result, there is no need to make the processor flags part of the context.
2017-06-15	x86/tcb: describe stack alignment ABI constraints on amd64	Richard Braun

2017-06-14	x86: improve TCB load and context switch	Richard Braun

2017-06-02	x86/tcb: add comments	Richard Braun

2013-06-03	x86/tcb: new tcb_trace function	Richard Braun
	This function dumps the stack trace of a thread from its TCB. In order to do that, the base pointer is now included in the TCB, along with the stack and instruction pointers.
2012-12-31	x86/tcb: improve thread loading	Richard Braun
	Move the loading functions to the .init section, since they're only used when starting the scheduler. In addition, improve stack tracing through the new tcb_start function.
2012-12-28	kern/thread: make thread_current migration-safe	Richard Braun
	This change removes the current thread member from the run queues, and moves the responsibility of maintaining it to the architecture specific tcb module. For the x86 architecture, the TCB functions use a per-CPU pointer that can be read and set in a single instruction, making it interrupt-safe and thus migration-safe.
2012-11-19	kern/thread: preliminary scheduling implementation	Richard Braun
	This change adds periodic timer interrupt reporting to the thread module, basic thread selection, and context switching. It currently only applies to the main processor. The x86/tcb module has been drastically simplified as a side effect.
