okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π you pulled up pwrdm_save_context(9), and we're gonna get you comfy with it. This is the little helper whose whole personality is: save powerdomain registers. Let's go β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
pwrdm_save_context β save powerdomain registers
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int pwrdm_save_context (struct powerdomain *pwrdm , void *unused );
π ARGUMENTS π
pwrdmβ so the original manpage literally gives this one-- undescribed --, bestie π. In the synopsis it'sstruct powerdomain *pwrdm. That's the whole description we've got, no cap.unusedβ same situation: the manpage says-- undescribed --for this too π. In the synopsis it'svoid *unused.
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the plot: register state is going to be lost due to a suspend or hibernate event π that's the crisis. pwrdm_save_context is the main character that saves the powerdomain registers πΎβ¨. That's the assignment. It's giving "back it up before the nap" energy, and honestly? Iconic.
highkey important: the original says the register state is going to be lost due to a suspend or hibernate event, and the function saves the powerdomain registers. That's the whole deal π.
