movf_func(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 movf_func(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel devs only, iykyk) and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's iconic. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

movf_func — emulate a MOVF instruction 🧚

like, that's her whole job. she emulates a MOVF. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

yes bestie, that spacing is intentional, we do not touch the sacred source text 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • regs — the process register set 🫶 that's the whole lil' bundle of registers for the process, she's holding it
  • ir — the instruction 💖 the actual instruction she's supposed to be emulating, dropped right in her hands

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns 0 since it always succeeds 🥳✨

that's it. that's the description. she literally cannot lose. main character energy fr fr — no failure path, no dramatic return codes, just 0 and vibes 🌈

lowkey obsessed with a function this unbothered 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the whole friend group shows up in the kernel file ./arch/mips/kernel/mips-r2-to-r6-emul.c — go say hi to:

the way that's literally the entire emulation squad 😭💜

okay and for the cute sign-off: this page ships from ./arch/mips/kernel, dated October 2026, and she's filed as movf_func(9) 🍓 slay, bye bestie 👑💖
