REQUEST=PAGEIN option of IARV64

REQUEST=PAGEIN notifies the system that data within physical pages of one or more memory objects will be needed in the near future.

Environment

The requirements for the caller are:

Environmental factor Requirement
Minimum authorization: Problem state and PSW key 8-15.
Dispatchable unit mode: Task or SRB
Cross memory mode: Any PASN, any HASN, any SASN
AMODE: 31- or 64-bit
ASC mode: Primary or access register (AR)
Interrupt status: Enabled for I/O and external interrupts
Locks: A local lock may be held.
Control parameters: Control parameters must be in the primary address space and can reside both below and above the bar.

Programming requirements

None

Restrictions

This macro supports multiple versions. Some keywords are unique to certain versions. See PLISTVER parameter description.

Input register information

Before issuing the IARV64 macro, the caller does not have to place any information into any register unless using it in register notation for a particular parameter, or using it as a base register.

Output register information

When control returns to the caller, the GPRs contain:
Register
Contents
0
Reason code, if GPR 15 is non-zero
1
Used as a work register by the system
2-13
Unchanged
14
Used as a work register by the system
15
Return code
When control returns to the caller, the ARs contain:
Register
Contents
0-1
Used as work registers by the system
2-13
Unchanged
14-15
Used as work registers by the system

Some callers depend on register contents remaining the same before and after issuing a service. If the system changes the contents of registers on which the caller depends, the caller must save them before issuing the service, and restore them after the system returns control.

Parameters

The parameters are explained as follows:

name
An optional symbol, starting in column 1, that is the name on the IARV64 macro invocation. The name must conform to the rules for an ordinary assembler language symbol.
REQUEST=PAGEIN
A required parameter. REQUEST=PAGEIN notifies the system that data within the specified ranges is needed in the near future and should be retrieved from auxiliary storage, if possible. An attempt to PAGEIN a range which contains a guard area will cause an ABEND.
,RANGLIST=ranglist
A required input parameter. The range list consists of a number of entries (as specified by NUMRANGE) where each entry is 16 bytes long. A description of the fields in each entry follows:
VSA
denotes the starting virtual address of the data to be acted on.

The virtual address specified must be within an allocated memory object returned by GETSTOR, GETSHARED, or GETCOMMON.

The value must always be on a physical 4 KB-page boundary.

The length of this field is 8 bytes.

NUMPAGES

Contains the number of physical 4 KB-pages in the area.

The number of 4 KB-pages specified starting with the specified VSA must lie within a single memory object.

The length of this field is 8 bytes.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of an eight-byte pointer field.

,ALETVALUE=aletvalue
,ALETVALUE=0
An optional input parameter that indicates the ALET of the space in which the virtual storage is to be paged in.

The only supported values are 0 (primary address space) and 2 (home address space). The ALETVALUE parameter may be used only by callers executing in supervisor state or with a system (0-7) PSW key. The default is 0.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a fullword field.

,NUMRANGE=numrange
,NUMRANGE=1
An optional input parameter that specifies the number of entries in the supplied range list.

The value specified must be no greater than 16. The default is 1.

To code: Specify the RS-type address, or address in register (2)-(12), of a fullword field.

,RETCODE=retcode
An optional output parameter into which the return code is to be copied from GPR 15.

To code: Specify the RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (2)-(12).

,RSNCODE=rsncode
An optional output parameter into which the reason code is to be copied from GPR 0.

To code: Specify the RS-type address of a fullword field, or register (2)-(12).

,PLISTVER=IMPLIED_VERSION
,PLISTVER=MAX
,PLISTVER=0, 1, 2, 3, 4
An optional input parameter that specifies the version of the macro. PLISTVER determines which parameter list the system generates. PLISTVER is an optional input parameter on all forms of the macro, including the list form. When using PLISTVER, specify it on all macro forms used for a request and with the same value on all of the macro forms. The values are:
  • IMPLIED_VERSION, which is the lowest version that allows all parameters specified on the request to be processed. If you omit the PLISTVER parameter, IMPLIED_VERSION is the default.
  • MAX, if you want the parameter list to be the largest size currently possible. This size might grow from release to release and affect the amount of storage that your program needs.

    If you can tolerate the size change, IBM® recommends that you always specify PLISTVER=MAX on the list form of the macro. Specifying MAX ensures that the list-form parameter list is always long enough to hold all the parameters you might specify on the execute form, when both are assembled with the same level of the system. In this way, MAX ensures that the parameter list does not overwrite nearby storage.

  • 0, supports all parameters except those specifically referenced in higher versions.
  • 1, supports both the following parameters and parameters from version 0:
    • CONVERTSIZE64
    • CONVERTSTART
    • GUARDSIZE64
    • V64SHARED
  • 2, supports both the following parameters and parameters from version 0 and 1:
    • AMOUNTSIZE
    • DETACHFIXED
    • DOAUTHCHECKS
    • DUMP
    • DUMPPRIORITY
    • DUMPPROTOCOL
    • LOCALSYSAREA
    • MEMLIMIT
    • OPTIONVALUE
    • ORDER
    • OWNERASID
    • OWNERCOM
    • TYPE
    • UNLOCKED
    • USERTOKEN
    • V64COMMON
  • 3, supports both the following parameters and parameters from versions 0, 1, 2:
    • ATTRIBUTE
    • OWNERJOBNAME
    • TRACKINFO
  • 4, supports both the following parameter and parameters from versions 0, 1, 2, 3:
    • DMAPAGETABLE
To code: Specify one of the following:
  • IMPLIED_VERSION
  • MAX
  • A decimal value of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
,MF=S
,MF=(L,list addr)
,MF=(L,list addr,attr)
,MF=(L,list addr,0D)
,MF=(E,list addr)
,MF=(E,list addr,COMPLETE)
An optional input parameter that specifies the macro form.

Use MF=S to specify the standard form of the macro, which builds an inline parameter list and generates the macro invocation to transfer control to the service. MF=S is the default.

Use MF=L to specify the list form of the macro. Use the list form together with the execute form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The list form defines an area of storage that the execute form uses to store the parameters. Only the PLISTVER parameter may be coded with the list form of the macro.

Use MF=E to specify the execute form of the macro. Use the execute form together with the list form of the macro for applications that require reentrant code. The execute form of the macro stores the parameters into the storage area defined by the list form, and generates the macro invocation to transfer control to the service.

,list addr
The name of a storage area to contain the parameters. For MF=S and MF=E, this can be an RS-type address or an address in register (1)-(12).
,attr
An optional 1- to 60-character input string that you use to force boundary alignment of the parameter list. Use a value of 0F to force the parameter list to a word boundary, or 0D to force the parameter list to a doubleword boundary. If you do not code attr, the system provides a value of 0D.
,COMPLETE
Specifies that the system is to check for required parameters and supply defaults for omitted optional parameters.
