* build_open_flags() translates it to this internal flag, which then
* propagates through op->open_flag and f->f_flags exactly like __FMODE_EXEC.
* do_dentry_open() strips it so userspace cannot observe it via
* fcntl(F_GETFL).
*
* Bit 30 is not claimed by any O_* flag on any architecture and stays clear
* of the sign bit of the int op->open_flag. fcntl_init() enforces that it
* never aliases an open-flag bit.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/stat.h`, `uapi/linux/fcntl.h`, `uapi/linux/openat2.h`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Core Kernel Interface.
- 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.
