That's a 404, I think you mean

I just tried it with system_state and it doesn't even find the
definition.  I think it might be because it has annotations which
confuse the searcher (it's in init/main.c as

 enum system_states system_state __read_mostly;

).  If there's any meaningful doc about it, elixir also doesn't find
it.
