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.
- Uses kernel synchronization; read lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt context assumptions before translating.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

/**
* struct tick_sched - sched tick emulation and no idle tick control/stats
*
* @flags: State flags gathering the TS_FLAG_* features
* @got_idle_tick: Tick timer function has run with @inidle set
* @stalled_jiffies: Number of stalled jiffies detected across ticks
* @last_tick_jiffies: Value of jiffies seen on last tick
* @sched_timer: hrtimer to schedule the periodic tick in high
* resolution mode
* @last_tick: Store the last tick expiry time when the tick
* timer is modified for nohz sleeps. This is necessary
* to resume the tick timer operation in the timeline
* when the CPU returns from nohz sleep.
* @next_tick: Next tick to be fired when in dynticks mode.
* @idle_waketime: Time when the idle was interrupted
* @idle_entrytime: Time when the idle call was entered
* @last_jiffies: Base jiffies snapshot when next event was last computed
* @timer_expires_base: Base time clock monotonic for @timer_expires
* @timer_expires: Anticipated timer expiration time (in case sched tick is stopped)
* @next_timer: Expiry time of next expiring timer for debugging purpose only
* @idle_expires: Next tick in idle, for debugging purpose only
* @idle_calls: Total number of idle calls
* @idle_sleeps: Number of idle calls, where the sched tick was stopped
* @tick_dep_mask: Tick dependency mask - is set, if someone needs the tick
* @check_clocks: Notification mechanism about clocksource changes

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/hrtimer.h`.
- Detected declarations: `struct tick_device`, `struct tick_sched`, `enum tick_device_mode`, `function tick_sched_timer_dying`, `function __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Scheduler, Processes, Timers, Sync, And Syscalls.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
- Synchronization appears in or near this file; preserve lock ordering, sleepability, and interrupt-context constraints.
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.
