/* LLVM's BPF target selects the endianness of the CPU
* it compiles on, or the user specifies (bpfel/bpfeb),
* respectively. The used __BYTE_ORDER__ is defined by
* the compiler, we cannot rely on __BYTE_ORDER from
* libc headers, since it doesn't reflect the actual
* requested byte order.
*
* Note, LLVM's BPF target has different __builtin_bswapX()
* semantics. It does map to BPF_ALU | BPF_END | BPF_TO_BE
* in bpfel and bpfeb case, which means below, that we map
* to cpu_to_be16(). We could use it unconditionally in BPF
* case, but better not rely on it, so that this header here
* can be used from application and BPF program side, which
* use different targets.

- 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.
