kvmppc_gsm_include(9)

💅 kvmppc_gsm_include(9) — the kvmppc_gsm_include manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about a tiny little function that's basically the "hey bestie, don't forget this one" of guest state serialization ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kvmppc_gsm_include — the function that says indicate a guest state ID should be included when serializing 💫

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void kvmppc_gsm_include (struct kvmppc_gs_msg *gsm , u16 iden );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. returns void, so nothing comes back — she just does her thing 💅

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• gsm — the guest state message 🫶 she's the main character here, the message object you're telling stuff to.
• iden — the guest state ID (a u16, ngl), i.e. the actual ID you want included. this is the "you're coming with us" badge 🎟️

ngl there's no OPTIONS, no FILES, no EXIT STATUS, no ENVIRONMENT, no ERRORS, no NOTES, no BUGS and no EXAMPLES on this page — the original keeps it short and sweet, and we're matching that energy fr fr 🙈 so don't come looking for a WARNING section, it's just not giving that today.

✨ that's the whole page, bestie ✨ this one shipped out of ./arch/powerpc/include/asm and it's dated October 2026, so like… future vibes only 🦋💅 mwah, go include your IDs responsibly 🫶
