okay so real talk, this page is pt_table_item_lg2sz(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey one of the shorter ones but it still ate. let's get into it π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
unsigned int pt_table_item_lg2sz (const struct pt_state *pts );
like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, returns an unsigned int. clean. minimal. iconic. π

not me telling you to also go read pt_entry_oa_lg2sz β because it gives you the same value except it includes the effect of contiguous entries. so like, same energy, extra spice. iykyk π
