DECLARE_IDTENTRY_XENCB(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

Okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie β€” this page is DECLARE_IDTENTRY_XENCB(9), and it's literally all about declaring functions for the XEN HV callback entry point. 🧚✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DECLARE_IDTENTRY_XENCB (vector , func );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • vector β€” the vector number, but lowkey it's ignored for C. πŸ™ˆ
  • func β€” the function name of the entry point. Main character name energy. πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Bestie, this macro declares three functions. Not two, not four β€” three. Slay. πŸ’…

  • The ASM entry point: asm_##func
  • The XEN PV trap entry point: xen_##func (maybe unused πŸ‘€)
  • The C handler called from the ASM entry point

It maps to DECLARE_IDTENTRY. It's a distinct entry point specifically to handle the 32/64-bit difference. Periodt. πŸ”₯

And that's the whole vibe check, bestie. This came from ./arch/x86/include/asm, dated October 2026, and it's the DECLARE_IDTENTRY_XENCB(9) page β€” no cap, go off. πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸŒŸ
