How can I restore cursor position in Vim as it was before scrolling, selecting or PgUp/PgDn?

I'm tired of searching where I was before I scrolled up to look something at the top.

Are there something like "Prev cursor position" and "Next cursor position" commands (like 'u' and 'R' for regular undo/redo)?
