Why This File Exists
Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.
- Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.
- Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.
- Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.
- Allocates kernel memory; connect allocation flags and lifetime to context constraints.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

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.
