kvm_mips_build_exit(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is kvm_mips_build_exit(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the function that assembles the common guest exit handler. yes, we're building exit code today ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void * kvm_mips_build_exit (void *addr );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — the address to start writing code at 🫶 that's it, that's the spot.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this one assembles the generic guest exit handling code. it gets called by the exception vectors — those are generated by kvm_mips_build_exception, iykyk — and then it calls kvm_mips_handle_exit.

after that? it either resumes the guest or returns to the host, depending on the return value. main character decision energy, honestly 👑

---

✨ RETURN ✨

the next address after the end of the written function 💅
