PRIMORDIAL OBJECT(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, this is Primordial Object(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and no cap, it’s a tiny but iconic little kernel page. 💅

🦋 Primordial Object 🦋

After boot, the kernel provides a static object of type QCOMTEE_OBJECT_TYPE_CB, and that object is literally called the primordial object. It’s the main-character object used for native kernel services or privileged operations. 👑

We support:

  • QCOMTEE_OBJECT_OP_MAP_REGION — used to map a memory object and return mapping object and mapping information (see qcomtee_mem_object_map). 🗺️
  • QCOMTEE_OBJECT_OP_YIELD — used to yield by the thread running in QTEE. 🧵
  • QCOMTEE_OBJECT_OP_SLEEP — used to wait for a period of time. 😴
