SVHBK Prolog

 Name       : HCPSVHBK
 Description: Common linkage savearea header
 DSECT      : SVHBK
 Function   : The SVHBK maps the header common to all
              savearea formats -- the "short-register" SAVBK
              (with or without its extension, SAVEHIRG) for
              callees which treat registers as 32 bits wide,
              and the "long-register" SVGBK for callees which
              treat registers as 64 bits wide.  Byte SVHFORM
              contains a format indicator to distinguish the
              underlying format.
 Located by : R13       when running in any routine which is
              called using a call-with-dynamic-savearea
              linkage.  Points to current (already
              filled up) savearea.
              SAVER13   This field in callee's savearea points
              /SVGR13LO back to the caller's savearea.  (This
              assumes that the caller has a savearea of
              his own, and that he had its address in
              R13 at the time of the call.)
              SVHFPNT   forward chaining pointer.  The chain of
              available saveareas uses this pointer.
              When the block is in use as a savearea,
              SVHFPNT is normally not used for
              anything.  (SAVER13 points back to the
              preceding savearea if the caller
              had one.)
              SVHBPNT   This pointer is available for backward
              chaining, but is not normally used.
 References : Chains threaded through SVHFPNT/-BPNT may contain
              a mix of SVGBKs and CPEBKs or SAVBKs (all of whose
              headers are mapped by the SVHBK).
 Created by : None.  The SVHBK does not exist on its own,
              but only at the front of a SAVBK, SVGBK, or
              CPEBK.
 Deleted by : None.
 Serialized : Serialization is provided by the dispatch lock
              except for SVHCPRQ, which is serialized by TRQBK
              and by the MP-defer function.
 Notes      : none
 Comments   : For the convenience of callees, which "know"
              which format of savearea they have, the fields
              in the SVHBK are also defined using names for
              each savearea block (SAVExxxx or SVGxxxx).
              SVHFORM identifies the format of savearea in which
              this header is contained.
              SVHFPNT and SVHBPNT are used to maintain various
              SAVBK/SVHBK queues and stacks.  Routines may use
              these fields if the SVHBK is not currently on a
              queue or stack.  An example is the SVHBK used on a
              dynamic call.
              If a routine calls another routine to stack an
              SVHBK onto a queue, the calling routine should be
              aware that the SVHFPNT and SVHBPNT fields may have
              been changed as a result of the call.  The calling
              routines should refrain from using these fields.
