To add an entry to the linkage stack, the target program issues
the BAKR instruction. The BAKR instruction stores all
ARs and
64-bit GPRs and the ASC mode on the linkage stack. The target
program must then indicate that it used the linkage stack, which is
useful information for anyone who later needs to trace the program
linkages. The procedure for indicating use of the linkage stack is
described in:
When the target program is ready to return to the calling program,
it issues the PR instruction. The PR instruction restores the calling
program's ARs 2-14 and 64-bit GPRs 2-14 and ASC mode from the
linkage stack, removes the entry from the linkage stack, and
returns control to the calling program.
