okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's short but it matters. let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
hypervisor_ppn_add β adds a single mksGuestStat instance descriptor to the hypervisor. and like, heads up: any related userspace pages should be pinned in advance. that's not a suggestion, that's a whole prerequisite π«Ά
β SYNOPSIS β
void hypervisor_ppn_add (PPN64 pfn );
like yes, that's the whole thing. one argument, no return value (void, she gives nothing back and that's her right π). copy it exactly, no cap.
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
pfnβ the physical page number of the instance descriptor. that's it, that's the vibe. one physical page number, one descriptor, zero drama β¨

okay this list is long and honestly iconic, so buckle up. it all lives in the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_msg.c, and here's every single one, no skips, no cuts, periodt:

π real talk before you go: pin those related userspace pages first. this function is not gonna do it for you and there's no undo button in the description, bestie. plan ahead π
mwah, that's the whole page π this little gem comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, stamped October 2026, and it's genuinely giving main character energy for something so smol. go forth and add your PPN, you got this ππ§ββοΈπ
