Description
Unix-like systems often adopt a convention to reduce the interface width of system calls by storing system information in virtual files within the file system. To achieve this, a compact in-memory tree containing the file system information should be generated, allowing for the placement of system information files and device files within it.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by surveying the kernel's existing system-call, memory, and device-driver structure, then define the compact in-memory tree and its integration points; done means system-information and device files can be placed in and accessed through it.
