danos/system/abi.zig

//! The **kernel ↔ user** ABI: the core contract every user program speaks to the
//! kernel — the system_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 runtime library
//! (library/runtime/), so the two can never drift.
//!
//! This is the *core* ABI; 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 user
/// code aligns to it (grants are page-granular) and the kernel guarantees it.
