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

• No C-style include directives detected by the generator.

Detected Declarations

• struct kcore_list
• enum kcore_type
• function kclist_add

Annotated Snippet

struct kcore_list {
	struct list_head list;
	unsigned long addr;
	size_t size;
	int type;
};

#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_KCORE
void __init kclist_add(struct kcore_list *, void *, size_t, int type);

extern int __init register_mem_pfn_is_ram(int (*fn)(unsigned long pfn));
#else
static inline
void kclist_add(struct kcore_list *new, void *addr, size_t size, int type)
{
}
#endif

#endif /* _LINUX_KCORE_H */

Annotation

• Detected declarations: `struct kcore_list`, `enum kcore_type`, `function kclist_add`.
• 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.
