ABI stable symbols
==================
Documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable.
Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no
restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed
for at least 2 years.
Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always
be available.

:no-files:Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
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.
