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.

* times). Do not add new users. If user space fails to compile
* here, this is probably because it is not y2038 safe and needs to
* be changed to use another interface.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/types.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct __kernel_timespec`, `struct __kernel_itimerspec`, `struct __kernel_old_timeval`, `struct __kernel_old_timespec`, `struct __kernel_old_itimerval`, `struct __kernel_sock_timeval`.
- 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.
