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

• asm-generic/module.h
• asm/orc_types.h

Detected Declarations

• struct its_array
• struct mod_arch_specific

Annotated Snippet

struct its_array {
#ifdef CONFIG_MITIGATION_ITS
	void **pages;
	int num;
#endif
};

struct mod_arch_specific {
#ifdef CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC
	unsigned int num_orcs;
	int *orc_unwind_ip;
	struct orc_entry *orc_unwind;
#endif
	struct its_array its_pages;
};

#endif /* _ASM_X86_MODULE_H */

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `asm-generic/module.h`, `asm/orc_types.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct its_array`, `struct mod_arch_specific`.
• Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/x86.
• 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.
