💅 intel_tcc_get_offset_mask — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to intel_tcc_get_offset_mask(9) — yes that's the whole name, she's long but she's worth it. this is a lil page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's short, she's sweet, she's giving "one job and she does it" energy. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

intel_tcc_get_offset_mask — Returns the bitmask to read TCC offset. that's it. that's the whole gig. she hands you a mask, you go read your TCC offset. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 intel_tcc_get_offset_mask (void );

look at her. no parameters, returns a u32. lowkey the cleanest signature ever, ngl 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • void — no arguments. literally none. she doesn't want them, she doesn't need them, she's booked and busy on her own 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe: this function gets you the model-specific bitmask you need to extract TCC_OFFSET from the MSR TEMPERATURE_TARGET register. that's the whole thing, and it ate. 🔥

⚠️ but listen, because this part matters: if the mask is 0, it means the processor does not support TCC offset. so a zero is not a cute little "teehee no mask today" moment — it's the hardware telling you that feature isn't there. do not ignore the zero, bestie 😭

👑 RETURN 👑

she returns the model-specific bitmask for TCC offset. that's your value, go use it responsibly 💜

go read them, they're all iconic in their own way 🌈

and that's the page, periodt ✨ this lil legend lives in ./drivers/thermal/intel, it's stamped October 2026, and it goes by intel_tcc_get_offset_mask(9) — okay bye, drink water, go read your MSRs responsibly 🍓💖🦋
