Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.
- Touches IRQ or DMA behavior; this matters for the representative real-device path.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

* ARMv6 Performance counter handling code.
*
* Copyright (C) 2009 picoChip Designs, Ltd., Jamie Iles
*
* ARMv6 has 2 configurable performance counters and a single cycle counter.
* They all share a single reset bit but can be written to zero so we can use
* that for a reset.
*
* The counters can't be individually enabled or disabled so when we remove
* one event and replace it with another we could get spurious counts from the
* wrong event. However, we can take advantage of the fact that the
* performance counters can export events to the event bus, and the event bus
* itself can be monitored. This requires that we *don't* export the events to
* the event bus. The procedure for disabling a configurable counter is:
* - change the counter to count the ETMEXTOUT[0] signal (0x20). This
* effectively stops the counter from counting.
* - disable the counter's interrupt generation (each counter has it's
* own interrupt enable bit).
* Once stopped, the counter value can be written as 0 to reset.
*
* To enable a counter:
* - enable the counter's interrupt generation.
* - set the new event type.
*
* Note: the dedicated cycle counter only counts cycles and can't be
* enabled/disabled independently of the others. When we want to disable the
* cycle counter, we have to just disable the interrupt reporting and start
* ignoring that counter. When re-enabling, we have to reset the value and
* enable the interrupt.

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.
