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.
• Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.

Dependency Surface

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

Detected Declarations

• function edac_atomic_scrub

Annotated Snippet

#ifndef _ASM_X86_EDAC_H
#define _ASM_X86_EDAC_H

	u32 i, *virt_addr = va;

	/*
	 * Very carefully read and write to memory atomically so we
	 * are interrupt, DMA and SMP safe.

Annotation

• Detected declarations: `function edac_atomic_scrub`.
• Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/x86.
• Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
• Synchronization appears in or near this file; preserve lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt-context constraints.

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.
