arch_xfer_t..._handle_work(9)

💅 arch_xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9

okay so bestie, pull up a chair 🎀 this one is tiny but it's a whole vibe. This here's the page for arch_xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work — the architecture-specific work-handling function for xferring to guest mode ✨ (yes, that's really the name, no I did not make it up, and yes you will be typing it correctly eventually, iykyk 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int arch_xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work (unsigned long ti_work );

like. look at it. one arg. one return. immaculate. 🔥

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ti_work — the cached TIF flags, gathered up in xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work 💖 that's literally what it is, no more no less.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this one's a hook, bestie 👑

It gets invoked from xfer_to_guest_mode_handle_work. By default it's a NOOP — like, it does absolutely nothing, and honestly? relatable 💀

But here's the main character energy: it can be replaced by architecture-specific code ✨ So the generic version just sits there being a no-op, and then your arch comes in and gives it a whole personality. That's the deal. That's the whole deal. 🎀

ngl, if you're reading this page expecting a big dramatic implementation, this is not that page. It's the placeholder page. And we love her for it. 💅
