Note that usually one doesn't explicitly switch to user mode, but do as if one returns to user mode. In bootstrap.c, see the “Exit to user thread” comment above thread_bootstrap_return, implemented in entry.S: “Called as a function, makes the current thread return from the kernel as if from an exception.”, i.e. build_args_and_stack()/set_user_regs() have prepared the context of a stack looking just like the first thing the processus has done was to take a trap.
