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.
- Touches user memory; correctness depends on fault-safe copying and privilege boundary handling.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

/*
* Convert Thumb ld/st instruction forms to equivalent ARM instructions so
* we can reuse ARM userland alignment fault fixups for Thumb.
*
* This implementation was initially based on the algorithm found in
* gdb/sim/arm/thumbemu.c. It is basically just a code reduction of same
* to convert only Thumb ld/st instruction forms to equivalent ARM forms.
*
* NOTES:
* 1. Comments below refer to ARM ARM DDI0100E Thumb Instruction sections.
* 2. If for some reason we're passed an non-ld/st Thumb instruction to
* decode, we return 0xdeadc0de. This should never happen under normal
* circumstances but if it does, we've got other problems to deal with
* elsewhere and we obviously can't fix those problems here.

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.
