setup_apcb00(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… setup_apcb00(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's a tiny little helper that does exactly one job and does it cute. no cap πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

setup_apcb00 β€” Copy to APCB FORMAT0 from APCB FORMAT0 🫢

like, it copies FORMAT0 into FORMAT0. yes bestie, that's literally what it says. iconic behavior, we don't question it πŸ’…

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int setup_apcb00 (struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu , unsigned long *apcb_s ,
unsigned long crycb_gpa , unsigned long *apcb_h );

that's the whole vibe check right there ⭐

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vcpu β€” pointer to the virtual CPU πŸ‘‘ like, the main character of this whole situation
  • apcb_s β€” pointer to start of apcb in the shadow crycb πŸ¦‹ (the s is for shadow, iykyk)
  • crycb_gpa β€” guest physical address to start of original guest crycb πŸ“ location drop
  • apcb_h β€” pointer to start of apcb in the guest1 πŸ’– yes, guest1, that's the name, we're keeping it

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so what happens is: it does the copy. and then β€” this is the important part, don't skip it β€” it returns 0 on success and -EFAULT on error reading guest apcb 😭 so if you see -EFAULT you know the guest apcb read went sideways, no cap.

fr fr, that's the whole function. no hidden lore, no extra flags, nothing. it's giving "small but mighty" energy πŸ”₯
