    Describe the actions taken by a kernel to context-switch between processes.
    Answer: In general, the operating system must save the state of the currently ru
    nning process and restore the state of the process scheduled to be run next. Sav
    ing the state of a process typically includes the values of all the CPU register
    s in addition to memory allocation. Context switches must also perform many arch
    itecture-specific operations, including flushing data and instruction caches.
