kvmppc_gsbm_fill(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… kvmppc_gsbm_fill(9) β€” like, the whole Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a short one and honestly it's giving "one job and she does it." no cap.


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

kvmppc_gsbm_fill β€” fill the entire bitmap πŸ’–

like. the entire bitmap. not a corner of it. not "some of it." the whole thing. periodt.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void kvmppc_gsbm_fill (struct kvmppc_gs_bitmap *gsbm );

returns void, takes one pointer, zero drama. we love a low-maintenance icon πŸ‘‘


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gsbm β€” the guest state buffer bitmap πŸ¦‹ that's it. that's the whole argument list. she's the main character and she's the only cast member.

πŸ’… SEE ALSO πŸ’…

okay so this is the part where the page name-drops literally everyone in the group chat, and I'm not about to leave anyone out β€” iykyk. first up, the source file herself:

  • Kernel file ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/guest-state-buffer.h

then the structs, all of them, no skipping (I would never):

  • struct kvmppc_gs_part_table(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_proc_table(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_header(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_elem(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_buff(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_bitmap(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_parser(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_msg_ops(9)
  • struct kvmppc_gs_msg(9)

and then the function besties, in order, exactly like the page says 🫢:

ngl that's a lot of cross-references for a function whose entire personality is "fill the bitmap," but honestly? respect. she knows her people πŸ’œ

🌈 and that's the whole page, bestie β€” short, sweet, fully filled in. this cutie lives over in ./arch/powerpc/include/asm and the manual's dated October 2026, so go forth and fill those bitmaps fr fr πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸ’…
