FUNCTION::SET_KERNEL_POINTER(3stap)

✨ FUNCTION::SET_KERNEL_POINTER ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the String and data writing functions corner of the SystemTap Tapset Reference 🎀 this one is literally about shoving a pointer value straight into kernel memory, so like… guru mode only, no cap 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::set_kernel_pointer — writes a pointer value to kernel memory. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

set_kernel_pointer(addr:long,val:long)

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• addr — the kernel address where you wanna write that pointer. like, the destination. the spot. the vibe location 📍
• val — the pointer that's actually getting written. the payload. the main character of this operation 👑

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the tea: this function writes a pointer value to a given kernel memory address. simple, iconic, powerful ✨

It reports an error when writing to the given address fails — so if it doesn't work, bestie, you will hear about it 😭

⚠️ heads up: this requires the use of guru mode (-g). do not skip this. it is not optional. it is not a suggestion. it is the whole prerequisite, fr fr 💀
