💅 platform_maar_init(9) 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this page is literally all about platform_maar_init, and she is here to perform platform-level MAAR configuration. No cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

platform_maar_init — perform platform-level MAAR configuration. That's the whole assignment, and she ate. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned platform_maar_init (unsigned num_pairs );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• num_pairs — the number of MAAR pairs present in the system. That's the count, bestie. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Platforms should implement this function such that it configures as many MAAR pairs as required, from 0 up to the maximum of num_pairs-1, and returns the number that were used. Highkey important: any further MAARs will be configured to be invalid. 🚨

The default implementation of this function will simply indicate that it has configured 0 MAAR pairs. She's lowkey doing the bare minimum, but she's honest about it. 💀

💖 RETURN 💖

The number of MAAR pairs configured. That's the vibe check result. 👑
