Why This File Exists
Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.
- Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.
- Exports symbols or registers init work; inspect boot/module ordering and who consumes the exported contract.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

* parent - given the offset of the child, find the offset of the parent.
* @i: the offset of the heap element whose parent is sought. Non-zero.
* @lsbit: a precomputed 1-bit mask, equal to "size & -size"
* @size: size of each element
*
* In terms of array indexes, the parent of element j = @i/@size is simply
* (j-1)/2. But when working in byte offsets, we can't use implicit
* truncation of integer divides.
*
* Fortunately, we only need one bit of the quotient, not the full divide.
* @size has a least significant bit. That bit will be clear if @i is
* an even multiple of @size, and set if it's an odd multiple.
*
* Logically, we're doing "if (i & lsbit) i -= size;", but since the
* branch is unpredictable, it's done with a bit of clever branch-free
* code instead.

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.
