</div></div>You added new fields (e.g. mepc, mstatus) to the _CPU_Context_switch<br>

That's not right [1]. You should return the previous mstatus content<br>
(with interrupts enabled i.e. before disabling interrupts). Also, if I<br>
understand correctly, this [2] is also wrong. You should simply set<br>
mstatus with the level variable (as my code does). That is supposed to<br>
get this level value by a previous call to riscv_interrupt_disable(),<br>
assuming it's implemented correctly. This way you're enabling<br>
interrupts back.<br></blockquote></span><div>As I said above, there is no need to save mstatus content since we don't </div><div>change it in other parts of the program. mstatus is used only for interrupt</div><div>enabling/disabling, thus I simple enable and disable interrupts using </div><div>appropriate instructions. </div><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Now that you use interrupts, it makes sense to add mstatus to<br>
Context_Control structure for riscv32, and initialize mstatus context<br>
in this function to enable interrupts (after addressing the above<br>
comment).<br></blockquote></span><div>I agree that it should be done, but I think I will have no time for this before evaluation. </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As Hesham pointed out, interrupt disable needs to return a status value.</div><div>It is usually just the contents of the status register with the interrupt</div><div>enable/disable bit(s).</div><div><br></div><div>The context should include the status register.
