🌸 madd_func(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🌸

okay so welcome to madd_func, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the manpage for madd_func, and honestly? she's a short one. an icon of efficiency. we love a low-effort queen 💅

✨ NAME ✨

madd_func — Emulate a MADD instruction 🧚

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she emulates, she madds (multiply-add, not "mad" — though honestly both work tbh).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int madd_func (struct pt_regs *regs , u32 ir );

like, she takes two things and returns an int. the full signature, verbatim, no notes:

int madd_func (struct pt_regs *regs , u32 ir );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • regs — the process register set 🫶 like, all the registers for this process, handed over in a struct pt_regs *. this is the "who are we even doing this for" of the situation.
  • ir — the instruction 💫 a u32 carrying the actual instruction. this is the "what are we even doing" of the situation.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns 0 since it always succeeds. 🔥

no cap. that's the description. she just works. no failure path, no drama, no edge cases to worry about — always succeeds, always returns 0. main character energy but make it a function return value 👑✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay so here's the whole squad — the entire friend group of emulation functions, plus where to find the source 🦋

Kernel file ./arch/mips/kernel/mips-r2-to-r6-emul.c — that's the file, bestie, go look at it iykyk

not me listing all 27 of them 💀 but that's the whole list, fr fr, nobody gets left out of the group chat.

quick vibe check: this page lives under ./arch/mips/kernel, dated October 2026, and the manual itself is madd_func(9). 🎀💜

and that's the sign-off bestie — <rainbow>./arch/mips/kernel· October 2026 ·madd_func(9)` 🌈⭐🍓 go forth and emulate, you're gonna slay ✨💖
