IIUC, this code will never return to cJK. It will return to what-ever address is in R1; jumping to 'returnToSched' with the value in R1 says, "Please run the scheduler, and jump back to R1 when you're done and ready to run my thread again."

I have a question about this piece of Cmm code:
cJI: R1 = _sGG::P32; call (stg_gc_enter_1)(R1) args: 4, res: 0, upd: 4; cJK: ...
Does the call to stg_gc_enter_1 return to cJK: a) never; b) sometimes; c) always ? I'm looking at the implementation in rts/HeapStackCheck.cmm but I don't know the meaning of `jump stg_returnToSched [R1];` at the and of stg_gc_noregs. Any help will be appreciated.
