STRUCT OPTEE_MSG_PARAM_VALUE(9)
π struct optee..._param_value(9) π
okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes, that's the whole manual name, and yes this page is literally three u64s and a dream. buckle up π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct optee_msg_param_value β the opaque value parameter, aka the "no thoughts, just vibes" parameter π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
look at her. she's perfect. she's three unsigned 64-bit ints in a trench coat:
struct optee_msg_param_value {
u64 a;
u64 b;
u64 c;
};
(that trailing space before the closing }; is canon, don't @ me π)
π¦ Members π¦
aβ the first opaque value. main character of the trio βbβ the second opaque value. lowkey just chilling πcβ the third opaque value. completing the squad, no cap π
π₯ Description π₯
so here's the tea: value parameters get passed unchecked between normal world and secure world. no vibe check, no validation, nothing. they just go π β normal world on one side, secure world on the other, and the kernel is like "not my problem, I have no idea what's in a, b, or c." it's giving "trust me bro" energy fr fr π
ngl bestie, "unchecked" is the whole personality here β this struct is opaque, meaning nothing on this side interprets those values. that's the design, not a bug π

β brought to you straight out of ./drivers/tee/optee, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled struct optee..._param_value(9) (yes, with the ..., she's mysterious like that πΈ). slay, go read the other structs now β¨π«Ά
