| "description": "JSON-Schema describing the PUBLIC structural release tier of the Linux IOCTL Census. Mirrors the export allowlist in the engine (tools/linux_ioctl/export_census_release.py) and the DuckDB DDL in bot/linux_ioctl_kb/schema.py. Only tables/columns derivable from already-public kernel source appear here; the targeting tier (taint_sinks, handler_enrichment, bugclass_hits, findings, functions, call_edges, extraction_runs) is withheld and MUST NOT appear. Schema-compatible with the Windows IOCTL Census: identical table and column names so the corpora are query-compatible. Linux concession: every *_va column is a stable 64-bit id (hash of the kg USR), and human location lives in companion name/file/line columns with loc_kind in {symbol, site}; imagebase is 0.", |
