STRUCT HECI_GSC_DEF(9)
β¨ struct heci_gsc_def(9) β¨
okay so this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally all about struct heci_gsc_def β the graphics security controller heci interface definitions π yes bestie, that's a whole mouthful, but stay with me, it's actually so cute and simple.
π NAME π
struct heci_gsc_def β graphics security controller heci interface definitions. that's the whole vibe. no cap.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole struct, bestie, looking all iconic:
struct heci_gsc_def {
const char *name;
unsigned long bar;
size_t bar_size;
bool use_polling;
bool slow_firmware;
};
five little members, all doing their thing. slay.
π¦ Members π¦
let me introduce you to the cast, one by one π
nameβ the name of the heci device. that's it, that's the whole flex. it's aconst char *, so it's just chillin' as a string π«Άbarβ the address of the mmio bar. it's anunsigned long, so it's holding that address down πbar_sizeβ the size of the mmio bar. asize_t, obviously, because we are not messy here β¨use_pollingβ the indication of using polling mode for the device. it's abool, so it's giving yes/no energy πslow_firmwareβ the indication of whether the device is slow (needs longer timeouts). also abool. some devices just need a lil extra time, and that's valid ππ

ngl bestie, if you're poking at the GSC heci stuff, this struct is your main character. five fields, zero drama. periodt π
and that's the tea, bestie π β this lil page lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026, and it's your friendly neighbourhood struct heci_gsc_def(9) from the Kernel API Manual. mwah πβ¨
