[RFC v4][PATCH 3/9] x86 support for checkpoint/restart

Oren Laadan orenl at cs.columbia.edu
Tue Sep 9 00:42:28 PDT 2008


(Following Dave Hansen's refactoring of the original post)

Add logic to save and restore architecture specific state, including
thread-specific state, CPU registers and FPU state.

Currently only x86-32 is supported. Compiling on x86-64 will trigger
an explicit error.
