danos/system/abi.zig

//! The **private kernel ↔ runtime** ABI: the raw system_call contract — the call
//! numbers, `mmap` protection flags, the page size those calls work in, and the IPC
//! name-registry ids and notification bit. Shared by the kernel dispatcher
//! (system/kernel/process.zig) and the user-space runtime library (library/runtime/),
//! so the two can never drift.
//!
//! **Application code does not speak this.** danos programs call the `runtime` library —
//! the stable, danos-native ABI — and the runtime is the one thing that issues the
//! actual system calls (POSIX code layers over the runtime, never on this directly). It
//! is the same split as libSystem on macOS or win32 over the NT syscalls: the numbers
//! here are an implementation detail the runtime hides and may renumber, not a public
//! interface. See docs/coding-standards.md and library/runtime/.
//!
//! This is the *core* contract; the device half — `DeviceDescriptor` and friends, which
//! also cross this boundary — lives with the device sub-project as [[device-abi]]
//! (system/devices/device-abi.zig). The loader↔kernel handoff is [[boot-handoff]].

/// Page size every `mmap`/`munmap` grant and the boot memory map are measured in.
/// 4 KiB on every architecture danos targets so far. Part of the ABI because the
/// runtime aligns to it (grants are page-granular) and the kernel guarantees it.
