L4_obj_ref is a reference to a kernel object. See src/abi/l4_types.cpp for
details.

These are the access rights for the kernel object. See src/abi/l4_fpage.cpp.

A Syscall_frame encapsulates the system call data. See
src/kern/entry_frame.cpp.

The UTCB is used to pass and return data between kernel and user (in case of
a system call) or between IPC partners.

If you have other questions in the future please use the l4-hackers mailing
