 NAME       : HCPUSRBK
 DESCRIPTION: SSI complex wide user attributes
 DSECT      : USRBK
 FUNCTION   : The USRBK contains the minimal information needed to
              identify a user logged on somewhere in the SSI complex.
              The USRBK essentially has two forms.  Either embedded
              within a VMDBK (for a user that is local on the
              system with the VMDBK), or as a standalone block
              for a user that is logged onto some other system in
              the SSI complex.
 LOCATED BY : USRBKs representing local users are embedded in the
              user's ORIGIN VMDBK and you locate it just as you
              would a VMDBK (VMDCYCLE, etc.).  Clearly there is
              an embedded USRBK in every VMDBK, ORIGIN or not,
              and some non-ORIGIN fields do contain values (eg:
              USRUSER is populated in all VMDBKs), however, the
              one true embedded USRBK is in the ORIGIN VMDBK and
              only its contents are maintained and considered to
              be valid.
              USRBKs representing non-local users are chained via
              USRCHAIN off SYSUSRCH in SYSCM.
              Both are in the userid hash table.
 CREATED BY : USRBKs representing local users are instantiated when
              an ORIGIN VMDBK is allocated.  USRBKs representing a
              non-local user are allocated by HCPUSR when it is
              notified a user has logged onto a remote system.
 DELETED BY : USRBKs representing local users are deleted when an
              origin VMDBK is fret'ed (either the user has logged
              off or been relocated off).  USRBKs representing a
              non-local user are deleted by HCPUSR when the
              user logs off or has been migrated in.
 REFERENCES : VMDBK
 SERIALIZED : Deletion of the remote USRBKs is by MP defer.
              A USRBK pointer is only valid until the next
              loss of control.
 COMPATIBILITY AND MIGRATION CONCERNS : If the format of this
              control block changes in future releases be sure
              to increment the version counter.  Any changes
              to the global portion must be done in an upwardly
              compatible manner and added to the end (it's OK
              to push the local section if need be).
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None.  This block exists on each
              system in the SSI complex and is not relocated
              between systems.
 COMMENTS   : The USRBK is divided into two parts as it were.
              The first part is data that is global (eg: should be
              same on all systems) and will be included anytime
              the block is broadcast (such as userid, the block
              version, etc.).  Clearly the block version may
              not be the same on each system, but it must be
              broadcast so each system knows what it's dealing
              with.  The system where the user is logged onto
              determines the block's level.  If it's a downlevel
              system, the uplevel systems won't find anything
              of value in the new fields (and should be checking
              the version before looking).  If it's an uplevel
              system the downlevel systems won't know enough to
              look at any new stuff.  The second part is data
              that will be local to the system the USRBK is on
              (eg: chain pointer, etc.).
              If the USRBK is embedded in the VMDBK the address
              of the VMDBK may be divined by NILL against the
              USRBK address with the USRtoVMD mask.  Likewise a
              routine can accept either a VMDBK or a USRBK as a
              parameter and divine which it was passed by doing
              a TMLL with USRorVMD (CC 0 means you have a VMDBK).
              The above scheme assumes that a VMDBK always
              starts on a page boundary and that a USRBK never
              starts on a page boundary.  A standalone block
              can never start on a page boundary as it will
              always have a free storage header preceding it.
              An embedded USRBK could only start on a page
              boundary if it was the first field in a VMDBK.
              A CKMAINT in HCPUSR verifies it's not.
              If you have a known USRBK pointer you can
              determine whether it's a standlone USRBK (that is
              to say represents a non-local user) or an embedded
              USRBK (that is to say a local user) by doing a
              TM USRLFLAG,USRVMDBK.  If CC 3 is returned then,
              as noted above, NILL with USRtoVMD gives you the
              VMDBK address for the local user.
