💅 NAME 💅

kvm_mips_build_ret_to_guest — Assemble code to return to the guest.

This is the kvm_mips_build_ret_to_guest(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * kvm_mips_build_ret_to_guest (void *addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• addr — Address to start writing code. That's literally where the code-writing begins, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function assembles the code to handle return from the guest exit handler (kvm_mips_handle_exit) back to the guest. It's giving comeback-arc assembly realness, and honestly? Iconic. 💅

🌸 RETURN 🌸

Next address after end of written function. That's the pointer you get back after the written function ends, bestie. ✨
