AFAICS the argument seems valid. 

Si now I see that there is a saved context when there is an interrupt but  
I don't understand how is the context saved when there is a thread switch.

The macro HAL_THREAD_SWITCH_CONTEXT let me think that there is something
saved in the stack_ptr member of the Threads while in interrupt_end it is
saved in the saved_context member. 

Then, I'v eseen in GDB that in order to get the information for each thread
it does a thread switch. How (where?) is a thread switch request from gdb
done in the Stub? 

Thanks
