MIPS cpu_save_nonscratch cpu_restore_nonscratch

what is cpu_save_nonscratch and cpu_restore_nonscratch?

In context swith, it will call to resume which is define in assembly language in arch/mips/kernel/r2300_switch.S .

here it will save some registers of the previous register and restore some registers of the next process.

while cpu_save_nonscratch and cpu_restore_nonscratch are two macroes which are define in include/asm/asmmacro-32.h or include/asm/asmmacro-64.h.
