STRUCT ACRN_VCPU_REGS(9)
π¦ struct acrn_vcpu_regs(9) π¦
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 π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct acrn_vcpu_regs β Info of vCPU registers state
like, the whole vibe check of what's going on inside those registers π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
struct acrn_vcpu_regs {
__u16 vcpu_id;
__u16 reserved[3];
struct acrn_regs vcpu_regs;
};
not me obsessing over how tidy this is π three fields, zero drama.
π Members π
vcpu_idβ the vCPU ID. which vCPU are we talking about, bestie? this is the name tag π·οΈreservedβ Reserved and must be 0. no cap, keep it at zero. it's reserved for a reason, don't get creative with it πvcpu_regsβ vCPU registers state. the actual main character of this struct, the real tea β
π Description π
This structure will be passed to hypervisor directly.
yep. straight to the hypervisor, no middleman, no filter. it's giving direct line energy π
π SEE ALSO π
all the sibling structs, from the kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/acrn.h β go read the whole family, they're all iconic in their own way β¨

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 π
k bye bestie, this page lives in ./include/uapi/linux and it's dated October 2026 β slay, go read it again whenever you forget what a vCPU's registers are up to ππ
