 - [Windows file timestamps](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/include/WindowsFileTime.hpp) use the host filesystem's timestamp range and resolution. `utimes`, `futimes`, and `lutimes` reject timestamps outside nonnegative signed 64-bit Windows file-time ticks with `EINVAL`, including exactly 1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, whose zero value means "leave unchanged" to `SetFileTime`. Directory timestamp updates resolve the current path of the opened handle. Filesystems with coarser timestamp resolution cannot retain every guest microsecond. Birth-time clamping is not atomic with concurrent host timestamp updates and has not been measured on a console
 - [EVFILT_VNODE on macOS](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/Equeue/src/FileEvent.cpp) (libkernel) registers `EVFILT_VNODE` on a duplicate of the descriptor in a host kqueue, whose notes have FreeBSD's values, and drops the `NOTE_LINK` that XNU adds to `NOTE_DELETE` when the watched file or directory is removed, since FreeBSD's `vop_remove_post` and `vop_rmdir_post` report `NOTE_DELETE` alone. As on Windows, a directory registered with `NOTE_EXTEND` is accepted but never receives it: XNU reports a move between directories as `NOTE_WRITE` alone, with `NOTE_LINK` for a subdirectory
 - [Windows file identity](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/NativeStat.cpp) (libkernel) - `stat` and `fstat` report the volume serial number as `st_dev` and the 64-bit file index folded into the guest's 32-bit `st_ino` (never 0), so two different files can in principle share an `st_ino`; the fold is not taken from a reference. `st_nlink` is clamped to 65535, the width of the guest field. The call keeps the `_wstat64` values when `GetFileInformationByHandle` fails
-- [lstat of a Windows symbolic link](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/NativeStat.cpp) (libkernel) reports a link whose target is relative, as `symlink` creates them, with the link's own times, `st_dev` and `st_ino`, mode `S_IFLNK | 0777` and the length of the target `readlink` returns as `st_size`. FreeBSD gives a new link `0777` less the creating process's umask, which the host does not keep, so the permission bits are not the console's. A link with an absolute target is reported the same way, using its print name, or its substitute name when the print name is empty, without a `\??\` or `\\?\` prefix. A directory junction is reported the same way when the name left after that prefix is a drive path (`X:\...`): the print name when that name is a drive path, otherwise the substitute name. `open` with `O_NOFOLLOW` returns `EMLINK` for that junction and does not open the target
+- [lstat of a Windows symbolic link](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/NativeStat.cpp) (libkernel) reports a link whose target is relative, as `symlink` creates them, with the link's own times, `st_dev` and `st_ino`, mode `S_IFLNK | 0777` and the length of the target `readlink` returns as `st_size`. FreeBSD gives a new link `0777` less the creating process's umask, which the host does not keep, so the permission bits are not the console's. A link with an absolute target is reported the same way, using its print name, or its substitute name when the print name is empty, without a `\??\` or `\\?\` prefix. A directory junction is treated as a link only when `ReadJunction` in [WindowsSymbolicLink.hpp](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/include/WindowsSymbolicLink.hpp) accepts a drive-path target (`X:\...`) after stripping `\??\` / `\\?\`; volume mounts and other non-drive substitutes are not. Consumers of that drive-target path: [NativeStat.cpp](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/NativeStat.cpp) (`lstat`/`readlink`), [Open.cpp](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/Open.cpp) (`O_NOFOLLOW` → `EMLINK`, and `unlink` removing the junction), [Stdio.cpp](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/Stdio.cpp) (`rmdir` → `ENOTDIR`), and [Export.cpp](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel_sys/Export.cpp) (`unlinkat` with and without `AT_REMOVEDIR`). `unlink` / plain `unlinkat` leave the target, including when it is not empty
 - [lstat of a Windows reparse point that is not a link](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/File/src/NativeStat.cpp) (libkernel) reports a mounted volume (`\??\Volume{GUID}\`) or another name surrogate as the reparse point itself, not followed, with the mode of its attributes, as CPython's `os.lstat` does, and a reparse point without the name surrogate bit (deduplication, cloud files) as `stat` reports it
 - [setitimer](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/System/src/Signals.cpp) (libkernel) follows FreeBSD's `sys_setitimer` and `kern_setitimer`: `EINVAL` for timers other than `ITIMER_REAL`, `ITIMER_VIRTUAL` and `ITIMER_PROF`, and for a value, or the interval of a non-zero value, with a negative field, `tv_usec` of 1000000 or more, or more than `INT32_MAX / 2` seconds; a null value reads the timer as `getitimer` does, with `EFAULT` when the output is null too. `ITIMER_REAL` shares the timer thread of `alarm`, which clears its interval: a zero value disarms it, the previous value is returned, and each expiry re-arms it by `it_interval`. With `SIG_IGN` an expiry is dropped. With `SIGALRM` blocked it is left on the pending set of `sigtimedwait`, as `kern_psignal` does, where `sigwait`, `sigtimedwait` and `sigwaitinfo` take it; unblocking it runs a guest handler on the unblocking thread, and with the default disposition exits the process with status 142. Unblocked, the default disposition exits the process with status 142 and a handler throws, since guest `SIGALRM` handlers are never run from the timer thread. The value is not raised to `tick / 16` as `itimerfix` does, and an interval below 1 ms throws, since the console's `hz`, and so that rounding, is unknown (1 ms covers any `hz` of 63 or more). `ITIMER_VIRTUAL` and `ITIMER_PROF` throw when armed, as process CPU time is not accounted, and read and disarm as zero. PPSA99420 imports it and fails to load without it
 - On Linux, [direct memory](../../../core/libs/prx/libkernel/DirectMemory/DirectMemory.cpp) lives in one sparse memfd at file offset = physical address, so the [GPU imports](../../../core/libs/prx/libSceAgcDriver/Graphics/src/GuestBufferMemory.cpp) can share one udmabuf buffer object per 64 MiB of it. Released direct memory is not punched out of the file, because a live import of its chunk pins the pages and the GPU would keep reading the old ones: its pages stay committed (the process keeps the high-water mark of the direct memory it used) and are zeroed when the range is allocated again.
