STRUCT INTEL_GSC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct intel_gsc(9) β€” the graphics security controller manual, but make it fashion

Okay so bestie, this is the Linux Kernel API Manual page for struct intel_gsc, and it's literally the graphics security controller. We're in kernel-land, iykyk. πŸŽ€ This is from the Kernel API Manual, fr fr.


✨ NAME ✨

Okay so real talk, this is the struct intel_gsc situation β€” it's giving graphics security controller and honestly? Iconic. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

Here's the whole vibe, no cap β€” copy it exactly and don't touch anything or I will cry:

struct intel_gsc {
    struct intel_gsc_intf {
      struct mei_aux_device *adev;
      struct drm_i915_gem_object *gem_obj;
      int irq;
      unsigned int id;
    } intf[INTEL_GSC_NUM_INTERFACES];
 };

Like, that's the whole struct. Slay. πŸ’…


🌸 Members 🌸

Let's go through each one because every member is a main character here:

  • intf β€” so this is the gsc interface itself. The whole girl. πŸ’–
  • intf.adev β€” MEI aux. device for this intf. Literally what it says. 🫢
  • intf.gem_obj β€” this one is the scratch memory GSC operations. Lowkey important ngl. πŸ”₯
  • intf.irq β€” the IRQ for this device, and bestie listen: it's -1 for no IRQ. Not zero, not NULL, it's -1. Write that down. 😭
  • intf.id β€” this interface's id number / index. It's the ID. It's the index. It's the moment. ✨

That's where the real ones live. 🌈
