/* Some constant macros are used in both assembler and
* C code. Therefore we cannot annotate them always with
* 'UL' and other type specifiers unilaterally. We
* use the following macros to deal with this.
*
* Similarly, _AT() will cast an expression with a type in C, but
* leave it unchanged in asm.

* Missing asm support
*
* __BIT128() would not work in the asm code, as it shifts an
* 'unsigned __int128' data type as direct representation of
* 128 bit constants is not supported in the gcc compiler, as
* they get silently truncated.
*
* TODO: Please revisit this implementation when gcc compiler
* starts representing 128 bit constants directly like long
* and unsigned long etc. Subsequently drop the comment for
* GENMASK_U128() which would then start supporting asm code.

- 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.
