STRUCT OPTEE_MSG_PARAM_VALUE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct optee..._param_value(9) πŸ’…

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 πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct optee_msg_param_value β€” the opaque value parameter, aka the "no thoughts, just vibes" parameter 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 😭)


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • a β€” the first opaque value. main character of the trio ⭐
  • b β€” the second opaque value. lowkey just chilling πŸ’œ
  • c β€” the third opaque value. completing the squad, no cap πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ Description πŸ”₯

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 πŸš€ 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 πŸ’€

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 πŸ™ˆ
