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

• No C-style include directives detected by the generator.

Detected Declarations

• struct exception_table_entry
• function extable_fixup

Annotated Snippet

struct exception_table_entry {
	int insn;
	int fixup;
};

static inline unsigned long extable_fixup(const struct exception_table_entry *x)
{
	return (unsigned long)&x->fixup + x->fixup;
}

Annotation

• Detected declarations: `struct exception_table_entry`, `function extable_fixup`.
• 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.
