intel_wopcm_init(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to intel_wopcm_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual 📖💖. this function is giving “just initialize the thing” energy:

• intel_wopcm_init — Initialize the WOPCM structure. periodt. 💅

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void intel_wopcm_init (struct intel_wopcm *wopcm );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• wopcm — pointer to intel_wopcm. that’s the one, bestie 🎀

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here’s the tea ☕: intel_wopcm_init() partitions WOPCM space based on the GuC and HuC firmware sizes, and it will allocate max remaining for use by GuC. she’s making room and giving GuC the biggest leftover slice 👑✨.

she also enforces platform dependent hardware restrictions on GuC WOPCM offset and size. like, hardware rules are hardware rules 🚫💅.

if any of these checks fail, WOPCM init fails — so the following WOPCM registers setup and GuC firmware uploading would be aborted. no messy half-init, no cap 💀🫶.
