Why This File Exists

CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.

• CPU and platform-specific kernel glue: boot entry, traps, syscall entry, interrupts, page tables, context switch, and low-level barriers.
• Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.

Dependency Surface

• linux/export.h

Detected Declarations

• export strcpy

Annotated Snippet

#include <linux/export.h>
	.text

	.align 3
	.globl strcpy
	.ent strcpy
strcpy:
	.frame $30, 0, $26
	.prologue 0

	mov	$16, $0		# set up return value
	mov	$26, $23	# set up return address
	unop
	br	__stxcpy	# do the copy

	.end strcpy
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(strcpy)

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/export.h`.
• Detected declarations: `export strcpy`.
• Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/alpha.
• Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
