Abstract
A processor may utilise two operating systems (Non-Secure, Secure) between which calls may be made. In order that a second operating system can track task switches made by a first operating system, each time a call is made to the second operating system, this call includes an identifier to enable discrimination between the task which was executing on the first operating system when that call was made. The identifier can be a call identifier and/or a target thread identifier and may include further parameters.
