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/keyboard.h

Detected Declarations

• struct notifier_block
• struct keyboard_notifier_param

Annotated Snippet

struct keyboard_notifier_param {
	struct vc_data *vc;	/* VC on which the keyboard press was done */
	int down;		/* Pressure of the key? */
	int shift;		/* Current shift mask */
	int ledstate;		/* Current led state */
	unsigned int value;	/* keycode, unicode value or keysym */
};

Annotation

• Immediate include surface: `uapi/linux/keyboard.h`.
• Detected declarations: `struct notifier_block`, `struct keyboard_notifier_param`.
• 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.
