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.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• uapi/linux/hiddev.h

Detected Declarations

• struct hiddev
• struct hid_device
• struct hid_usage
• struct hid_field
• struct hid_report
• function hiddev_connect
• function hiddev_disconnect

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `uapi/linux/hiddev.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct hiddev`, `struct hid_device`, `struct hid_usage`, `struct hid_field`, `struct hid_report`, `function hiddev_connect`, `function hiddev_disconnect`.
• 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.
