STRUCT ACRN_VCPU_REGS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ¦‹ struct acrn_vcpu_regs(9) πŸ¦‹

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about one lil struct that tells you everything about a vCPU's register state. it's giving backstage pass to the CPU's inner world πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

struct acrn_vcpu_regs β€” Info of vCPU registers state

like, the whole vibe check of what's going on inside those registers 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct acrn_vcpu_regs {
    __u16 vcpu_id;
    __u16 reserved[3];
    struct acrn_regs        vcpu_regs;
 };

not me obsessing over how tidy this is 😭 three fields, zero drama.


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • vcpu_id β€” the vCPU ID. which vCPU are we talking about, bestie? this is the name tag 🏷️
  • reserved β€” Reserved and must be 0. no cap, keep it at zero. it's reserved for a reason, don't get creative with it πŸ™ˆ
  • vcpu_regs β€” vCPU registers state. the actual main character of this struct, the real tea β˜•

πŸ’– Description πŸ’–

This structure will be passed to hypervisor directly.

yep. straight to the hypervisor, no middleman, no filter. it's giving direct line energy πŸ‘‘

lowkey the most important thing on this whole page: reserved must be 0. i'm not playing, the kernel is not playing, nobody is playing πŸ’€
