imx8_get_registers(9)

💅 imx8_get_registers(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this little cutie lives in section 9 and her whole personality is damage control. Like, when the DSP literally oops 💀, she's the one sprinting in with a clipboard going "okay everyone stay calm, I need the registers, the filename, the line number, and the stack, now."

🌸 NAME 🌸

imx8_get_registers — no cap, this function gets called when there's a DSP oops, and its entire job is to gather up all the receipts: info about the registers, the filename, the linenumber, and the stack. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void imx8_get_registers (struct snd_sof_dev *sdev , struct
sof_ipc_dsp_oops_xtensa *xoops , struct sof_ipc_panic_info *panic_info ,
u32 *stack , size_t stack_words );

she takes five arguments and returns nothing (void) — she's not here for results, she's here for evidence 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the SOF device 💖 like, the whole reason we're here.
• xoops — stores info about the registers 👑 (yes that's really the parameter name, we love her).
• panic_info — stores info about the filename and line number 🎯 so we know exactly where things went sideways.
• stack — stores the stack dump 🫶 the whole messy pile of it.
• stack_words — size of the stack dump 🌸 (how much room the pile gets).

lowkey a whole investigation 🕵️‍♀️ — if the DSP crashes, this is the function taking notes. iykyk. 💜
