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 IRQ or DMA behavior; this matters for the representative real-device path.
- Allocates kernel memory; connect allocation flags and lifetime to context constraints.
Dependency Surface
- No C-style include directives detected by the generator.
Detected Declarations
- No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

help
We keep the static function tracing (!DYNAMIC_FTRACE) around
in order to test the non static function tracing in the
generic code, as other architectures still use it. But we
only need to keep it around for x86_64. No need to keep it
for x86_32. For x86_32, force DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/x86.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
- IRQ or DMA behavior appears here, which is relevant to the selected PCIe/NVMe device path.
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.
