TSKBK Prolog

 Name       : HCPTSKBK
 Description: Task Control Block
 DSECT      : TSKBK
 Function   : The TSKBK contains certain types of status
              information for an active or suspended task.  At
              present, the TSKBK is only used in a few selected
              cases:  to record HCPSPIE traps, HCPSAC error exits,
              claims for entries on the CP-use access list, and
              the status of a CP task suspended to resolve a page,
              segment, or region fault.
              The dispatcher itself does not operate on TSKBKs.
              In general, a task with state information in a TSKBK
              is not permitted to lose control.  However, certain
              losses of control -- those which "formally suspend"
              the task -- are permitted.  The events which formally
              suspend a task across losses of control are:
              -- The HCPACCES ATTACH and DETACH services.
              -- The handling of translation exceptions (region,
              segment, and page faults) in DAT-on CP code.
              In these special cases, the task state is preserved
              and restored across the loss of control.  When a
              task is formally suspended, a new TSKBK is allocated
              and hung off the prefix page, so that it will be
              available for use by the next task dispatched.  When
              a task is formally resumed, its TSKBK replaces the
              one currently hung off the prefix page, and the
              latter is returned to free storage.
 Located by : PFXTSKBK points to the TSKBK for the currently
              dispatched task, or one which is eligible
              for use by the current task.
              A routine which formally suspends its task must
              preserve the TSKBK pointer for use on resumption.
 Created by : HCPMPSON when a processor is brought on-line.
              HCPTKMSU when a task is formally suspended.
 Deleted by : HCPTKMRS when a task is formally resumed.
 Serialized : The TSKBK which is designated by PFXTSKBK is only
              manipulated while running on the owning processor.
              Any other TSKBK is owned by the single task which
              holds its address (e.g., the task itself, about to
              be suspended or resumed), and is inaccessible to
              other tasks.

     Short (32 bit) general purpose register values. Register values may be
     (but are not required to be) saved here across formal task suspension
     of ShortReg tasks. Register values are saved here during host interrupt
     processing for conditions which CP automatically resolves (region,
     segment, and page faults which occur while CP is running in AR mode) or
     which can be trapped via HCPSPIE, if the faulting task is ShortReg. If
     the task (suspended or faulting) is LongReg, TSKGGR* definition below
     is used instead.
     If the TSKGR* ShortReg register layout is used, TSKLONGR must be set to
     0 to indicate ShortReg layout.
