imr_raw_size(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 imr_raw_size(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the <rainbow>Kernel API Manual</rainbow> today and the star of the show is imr_raw_size(9) — yes it's a section 9 page, yes it's kernel stuff, no you don't have to be scared. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

imr_raw_size — literally just here to account for the IMR_ALIGN bytes that addr_hi appends. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-task icon 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

size_t imr_raw_size (size_t size );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • size — the input size, in bytes. just bytes. that's the unit. no cap 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — IMR's addr_hi has a built-in offset of plus IMR_ALIGN (0x400) bytes from whatever value is sitting in the register. like, it just does. it's built in. main character behavior honestly 💀

because of that, we need to subtract IMR_ALIGN bytes from the input sizes. as a result. that's the consequence. that's what we do. periodt 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the reduced size. that's it, that's the return value, she's smaller now and thriving 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie the whole friend group is here, say hi 👋 — kernel file ./arch/x86/platform/intel-quark/imr.c plus:

ngl this page is short but she ate. remember: IMR_ALIGN is 0x400, subtract it, done. iykyk 💅

and that's the whole vibe, bestie 🧚 from ./arch/x86/platform/intel-quark, dated October 2026, signed off on imr_raw_size(9) — mwah, go read some more kernel pages, you're doing amazing 🍓💖
