STRUCT PCC_CHAN_REG(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct pcc_chan_reg(9) β€” PCC register bundle πŸ’…

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally about struct pcc_chan_reg β€” the PCC register bundle. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole struct, and yes you're gonna want to copy it exactly:

struct pcc_chan_reg {
    void __iomem *vaddr;
    struct acpi_generic_address *gas;
    u64 preserve_mask;
    u64 set_mask;
    u64 status_mask;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

so every field in this little bundle of joy, one by one β€” you're gonna slay this:

  • vaddr β€” the cached virtual address for this register. it's already been looked up and stashed here for you, so you don't gotta redo the work every time, periodt πŸŽ€
  • gas β€” a pointer to the generic address structure for this register. that's the ACPI "where does this thing actually live" situation, iykyk ✨
  • preserve_mask β€” the bitmask to preserve when writing to this register. translation: the bits you're NOT touching, bestie, they stay exactly as they are πŸ’…
  • set_mask β€” the bitmask to set when writing to this register. these are the bits that go ✨on✨ πŸ¦‹
  • status_mask β€” the bitmask to determine and/or update the status for this register. yes it does both jobs, main character energy only πŸ’–

go read these next, fr fr β€” they're all in the Kernel file ./drivers/mailbox/pcc.c:

ngl, that's a whole reading list β€” but you got this, and honestly the lore is worth it πŸ˜­πŸ‘‘

and that's the whole thing!! this gem dropped out of the ./drivers/mailbox directory, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct pcc_chan_reg(9). mwah, go touch some registers πŸ’‹πŸ“πŸ§š
