STRUCT KVMPPC_GS_BUFF_INFO(9)
β¨ struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info β¨
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual π β this one's a tiny little struct with main character energy, and honestly? it's giving "small but essential." let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info β the deserialized meta guest state buffer information π¦
like, it's the meta info about a guest state buffer, and it's already been deserialized when you get it. that's the whole vibe. no cap π
π SYNOPSIS π
struct kvmppc_gs_buff_info {
u64 address;
u64 size;
};
look at her. two fields. absolutely iconic, lowkey perfect π«Ά
π Members π
addressβ where the guest state buffer starts. the beginning. the origin point. her home address, if you will π β¨sizeβ how big the guest state buffer is. the actual size, the capacity, the whole "how much room are we working with" moment ππ
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
so you know there's a whole friend group here, and you're gonna want to meet every single one of them, fr fr. first up, the source of truth lives in the kernel file ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/guest-state-buffer.h ππ
and then the whole squad π:

okay that's a lot of besties and i love that for them ππ
π§ quick vibe check: this is the Kernel API Manual, pagestruct kvmppc_gs_buff_info(9), from./arch/powerpc/include/asmβ and ngl, the date on this one is October 2026, so she's lowkey from the future πβ
stay hydrated, read your manpages, and slay ππ β¨
