#### TSKBK Prolog

     Name       : HCPTSKBK
     Description: Task Control Block
     DSECT      : TSKBK
     Function   : The TSKBK contains certain types of status
                  information for an active or suspended task.  At
                  present, the TSKBK is only used in a few selected
                  cases:  to record HCPSPIE traps, HCPSAC error exits,
                  claims for entries on the CP-use access list, and
                  the status of a CP task suspended to resolve a page,
                  segment, or region fault.
                  The dispatcher itself does not operate on TSKBKs.
                  In general, a task with state information in a TSKBK
                  is not permitted to lose control.  However, certain
                  losses of control -- those which "formally suspend"
                  the task -- are permitted.  The events which formally
                  suspend a task across losses of control are:
                  -- The HCPACCES ATTACH and DETACH services.
                  -- The handling of translation exceptions (region,
                  segment, and page faults) in DAT-on CP code.
                  In these special cases, the task state is preserved
                  and restored across the loss of control.  When a
                  task is formally suspended, a new TSKBK is allocated
                  and hung off the prefix page, so that it will be
                  available for use by the next task dispatched.  When
                  a task is formally resumed, its TSKBK replaces the
                  one currently hung off the prefix page, and the
                  latter is returned to free storage.
     Located by : PFXTSKBK points to the TSKBK for the currently
                  dispatched task, or one which is eligible
                  for use by the current task.
                  A routine which formally suspends its task must
                  preserve the TSKBK pointer for use on resumption.
     Created by : HCPMPSON when a processor is brought on-line.
                  HCPTKMSU when a task is formally suspended.
     Deleted by : HCPTKMRS when a task is formally resumed.
     Serialized : The TSKBK which is designated by PFXTSKBK is only
                  manipulated while running on the owning processor.
                  Any other TSKBK is owned by the single task which
                  holds its address (e.g., the task itself, about to
                  be suspended or resumed), and is inaccessible to
                  other tasks.
