💅 mei_txe_sec_reg_read_silent(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for mei_txe_sec_reg_read_silent(9). Yes, “silent” is right there in the name, and it's lowkey the whole vibe 👀. This is the function you call when you want a 32bit read from the SeC BAR and you are not doing the whole “are you alive???” check first. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

mei_txe_sec_reg_read_silent — reads 32bit data from the SeC BAR 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u32 mei_txe_sec_reg_read_silent (struct mei_txe_hw *hw , unsigned long
       offset );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — the txe hardware structure. Like, the main character struct we're operating on 💅.
  • offset — register offset. The coordinate for the register we're reading, fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It reads 32bit data from the SeC BAR, and it doesn't check for aliveness while doing it. That's the “silent” part, bestie: no aliveness check, just the read. It's giving “I'm not asking if you're okay, I'm just grabbing the register value” 😭.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

The register value. That's it. That's the tea 🍓.
