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.

Dependency Surface

• linux/types.h
• linux/errno.h
• linux/uaccess.h

Detected Declarations

• function stfiwx

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`, `linux/errno.h`, `linux/uaccess.h`.
• Detected declarations: `function stfiwx`.
• Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/powerpc.
• Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
• This snippet crosses the user/kernel memory boundary; validate fault handling and access checks before translating the pattern.

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.
