source implementation candidate

Why This File Exists

Repository support layer: documentation, build tooling, samples, user-space helper tools, generated initramfs support, licenses, and validation utilities.

• Repository support layer: documentation, build tooling, samples, user-space helper tools, generated initramfs support, licenses, and validation utilities.
• Defines or uses C structs; map object ownership, embedded links, reference counts, and lock ownership.

Dependency Surface

• No C-style include directives detected by the generator.

Detected Declarations

• struct btf
• struct btf_member

Annotated Snippet

#ifndef __PERF_UTIL_BTF
#define __PERF_UTIL_BTF 1

struct btf;
struct btf_member;

const struct btf_member *__btf_type__find_member_by_name(struct btf *btf,
							 int type_id, const char *member_name);
#endif // __PERF_UTIL_BTF

Annotation

• Detected declarations: `struct btf`, `struct btf_member`.
• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
• 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.
