From the highest level viewpoint, there are 2 types of context to save.
Since RTEMS handles integer and floating point contexts separately, this means we have the following 3 context items:
On some processors, it is cost-effective to save only the callee preserved registers during a task context switch. This means that the ISR code needs to save those registers which do not persist across function calls. It is not mandatory to make this distinctions between the caller/callee saves registers for the purpose of minimizing context saved during task switch and on interrupts. If the cost of saving extra registers is minimal, simplicity is the choice. Save the same context on interrupt entry as for tasks in this case.
Additionally, if gdb is to be made aware of RTEMS tasks for this CPU, then care should be used in designing the context area.
On some CPUs with hardware floating point support, the Context_Control_fp structure will not be used or it simply consist of an array of a fixed number of bytes. This is done when the floating point context is dumped by a "FP save context" type instruction and the format is not really defined by the CPU. In this case, there is no need to figure out the exact format – only the size. Of course, although this is enough information for RTEMS, it is probably not enough for a debugger such as gdb. But that is another problem.

#define _CPU_Context_Fp_start | ( | _base, | |

) | ( (void *) _Addresses_Add_offset( (_base), (_offset) ) ) |
The purpose of this macro is to allow the initial pointer into a floating point context area (used to save the floating point context) to be at an arbitrary place in the floating point context area.
This is necessary because some FP units are designed to have their context saved as a stack which grows into lower addresses. Other FP units can be saved by simply moving registers into offsets from the base of the context area. Finally some FP units provide a "dump context" instruction which could fill in from high to low or low to high based on the whim of the CPU designers.
[in] | _base | is the lowest physical address of the floating point context area |
[in] | _offset | is the offset into the floating point area |
