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.
- Allocates kernel memory; connect allocation flags and lifetime to context constraints.
- Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

* mm/percpu-km.c - kernel memory based chunk allocation
*
* Copyright (C) 2010 SUSE Linux Products GmbH
* Copyright (C) 2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
*
* Chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using gfp
* allocation. This is to be used on nommu architectures.
*
* To use percpu-km,
*
* - define CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_KM from the arch Kconfig.
*
* - CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK must not be defined. It's
* not compatible with PER_CPU_KM. EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK should work
* fine.
*
* - NUMA is not supported. When setting up the first chunk,
* @cpu_distance_fn should be NULL or report all CPUs to be nearer
* than or at LOCAL_DISTANCE.
*
* - It's best if the chunk size is power of two multiple of
* PAGE_SIZE. Because each chunk is allocated as a contiguous
* kernel memory block using alloc_pages(), memory will be wasted if
* chunk size is not aligned. percpu-km code will whine about it.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/log2.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function Copyright`, `function pcpu_depopulate_chunk`, `function pcpu_destroy_chunk`, `function pcpu_verify_alloc_info`, `function pcpu_should_reclaim_chunk`.
- Atlas domain: Core OS / Memory Management.
- 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.
