✨ kvmppc_gse_put_buff_info(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this one is a little function with a very long name and a very specific job, and honestly? it slays at that job.

🎀 NAME

kvmppc_gse_put_buff_info — adds a GSB description guest state element to a buffer 🦋

like, that's literally it. it puts a thing in a buffer. iconic behavior.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int kvmppc_gse_put_buff_info (struct kvmppc_gs_buff *gsb , u16 iden , struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info val );

three things go in, an int comes out. the way that it just returns an int and doesn't elaborate 😭

💅 ARGUMENTS

  • gsb — the guest state buffer you're adding the element to. this is the main character of the whole operation fr.
  • iden — the guest state ID. a u16, so keep it cute and 16-bit please 🙈
  • val — the guest state buffer description value, typed struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info. that's the actual payload vibe.

👑 SEE ALSO

no cap, this is the friend group and it is HUGE. every single one of these is in ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/guest-state-buffer.h — Kernel file, iykyk 🫶

that's the whole squad, not one missing 💜 go read them, they're all lowkey doing their own thing and it works.

and that's the page!! 🌈 this little writeup lives over in ./arch/powerpc/include/asm, dated October 2026 — so mark your calendar bestie, the docs are from the future and they're still serving 💀🎀 bye mwah 🍓
