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 IRQ or DMA behavior; this matters for the representative real-device path.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.
Dependency Surface
linux/linkage.hlinux/init.hlinux/cfi_types.hasm/assembler.hasm/page.hproc-macros.S
Detected Declarations
- No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/linkage.h`, `linux/init.h`, `linux/cfi_types.h`, `asm/assembler.h`, `asm/page.h`, `proc-macros.S`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/arm.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
- IRQ or DMA behavior appears here, which is relevant to the selected PCIe/NVMe device path.
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.
