NAME : HCPEASIT DESCRIPTION: External-Address-Space-Identification Token DSECT : EASIT FUNCTION : This DSECT maps an e-ASIT, which is CP's external identification of an address space, and a guest's identification of a host address space. LOCATED BY : Any task accepting an e-ASIT from a guest, or providing one to a guest. CREATED BY : HCPSITIE when translating an i-ASIT into an e-ASIT. DELETED BY : Any task which no longer needs the representation. RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None NOTES : An e-ASIT is an eight-byte token, doubleword aligned, and serves as an external representation of an address space. In external documentation, "ASIT" is used to designate an e-ASIT. An e-ASIT is given to guests to represent an address space, and is guaranteed to be a system-wide unique token, and unique for the life of the current system IPL. When referring to the same address space, the same token is given to different guests. A test for equality can therefore be used to see if two e-ASITs represent the same address space. Since an e-ASIT can also be received from guests, it must also be "verifiable". That is, CP must be able to reliably decide when a supposed e-ASIT is a legal token designating an existing address space. |
