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.
Dependency Surface
- No C-style include directives detected by the generator.
Detected Declarations
- No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

menuconfig VIRTUALIZATION
bool "Virtualization"
help
Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run
other operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
This option alone does not add any kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
disabled.

select PTDUMP
default n
help
Say Y here if you want to show the stage-2 kernel pagetables
layout in a debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
kernel.
If in doubt, say N.
config NVHE_EL2_DEBUG
bool "Debug mode for non-VHE EL2 object"
default n
help
Say Y here to enable the debug mode for the non-VHE KVM EL2 object.
Failure reports will BUG() in the hypervisor. This is intended for
local EL2 hypervisor development.
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/arm64.
- 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.
