STRUCT OPTEE_SMC(9)

💅 struct optee_smc(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — the struct we're doing today is literally the main character of optee smc communication energy ✨ (that's what the name means, no cap: optee smc communication struct 🎀).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly, don't touch a single character 🙈:

struct optee_smc {
    optee_invoke_fn *invoke_fn;
    void *memremaped_shm;
    u32 sec_caps;
    unsigned int notif_irq;
    struct optee_pcpu __percpu *optee_pcpu;
    struct workqueue_struct *notif_pcpu_wq;
    struct work_struct notif_pcpu_work;
    unsigned int notif_cpuhp_state;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

one by one, bestie, we're going through all of them 💖:

• invoke_fn — the handler function that invokes the secure monitor. it's giving "you want to talk to the secure world? talk to her" 👑
• memremaped_shm — the virtual address of memory in the shared memory pool 🧚
• sec_caps — secure world capabilities, defined by OPTEE_SMC_SEC_CAP_* over in optee_smc.h. that's the capability vibe check ✅
• notif_irq — the interrupt used as async notification by OP-TEE, or 0 if there isn't one 🫶
• optee_pcpu — per_cpu optee instance for per cpu work, or NULL. so either a whole per-cpu moment or absolutely nothing, she contains multitudes 😭
• notif_pcpu_wq — workqueue for per cpu asynchronous notification, or NULL 🌈
• notif_pcpu_work — work for per cpu asynchronous notification ⭐
• notif_cpuhp_state — CPU hotplug state assigned for pcpu interrupt management 🔥
