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.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• linux/sched.h
• asm/page.h
• asm/string.h
• uapi/asm/elf.h

Detected Declarations

• struct linux_binprm
• struct func_desc
• function ppc_elf_core_copy_regs

Annotated Snippet

struct func_desc {
	unsigned long addr;
	unsigned long toc;
	unsigned long env;
};

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/sched.h`, `asm/page.h`, `asm/string.h`, `uapi/asm/elf.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct linux_binprm`, `struct func_desc`, `function ppc_elf_core_copy_regs`.
• Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/powerpc.
• Implementation status: source 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.
