Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/bits.h`, `linux/log2.h`, `linux/mm.h`, `kcsan.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function check_encodable`, `function encode_watchpoint`, `function decode_watchpoint`, `function watchpoint_slot`, `function matching_access`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Scheduler, Processes, Timers, Sync, And Syscalls.
- 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.
