divu_func(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 divu_func(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the vibe is very MIPS. buckle up, this one's short but it's cute ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

divu_func — it emulates a DIVU instruction. that's it. that's the whole thing. she does one job and she does it slayfully 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int divu_func (struct pt_regs *regs , u32 ir );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • regs — the process register set. like, the whole cast of characters for this process 🫶
  • ir — the instruction. the actual u32 we're out here emulating, no cap 🔥

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so the actual tea: it returns 0 because it always succeeds. not "usually", not "most of the time", not "when mercury isn't in retrograde" — always. she's an icon, she's a legend, she's a zero-returning queen 👑 the way that never fails is genuinely so main character of her 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file we're all living in is ./arch/mips/kernel/mips-r2-to-r6-emul.c — go read it iykyk 🧚

and the whole emul squad, periodt:

no warnings, no bugs, no deprecated nonsense on this page — she's a clean girl aesthetic manpage 🎀

mwah 💋 that's the page! this lil cutie lives in ./arch/mips/kernel, dated October 2026, and yes — divu_func(9), always and forever 💜🌷
