STRUCT QCOM_SCM_DESC(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct qcom_scm_desc(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the struct qcom_scm_desc(9) page from the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this one's a lil struct in the kernel's firmware corner, and honestly? she's giving "tiny but important" energy πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct qcom_scm_desc β€” literally just the name, no blurb attached, the manpage keeps it mysterious 😭 (that's it, that's the whole NAME section, no cap)


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

here's her whole look, copy it exactly bestie, character for character:

struct qcom_scm_desc {
    u32 svc;
    u32 cmd;
    u32 arginfo;
    u64 args[MAX_QCOM_SCM_ARGS];
    u32 owner;
 };

πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

okay so this is the part where we meet the whole squad, one member at a time 🫢

  • svc β€” the service identifier, aka which service this is for πŸ’«
  • cmd β€” the command identifier, aka which command we're asking that service to do ⭐
  • arginfo β€” metadata describing the arguments in args[], like the lil label on the box telling you what's inside πŸŽ€
  • args β€” the array of arguments for the secure syscall, this is where the actual payload lives, icon status πŸ”₯
  • owner β€” the owner identifier πŸ‘‘

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Kernel file ./drivers/firmware/qcom/qcom_scm.h
  • struct qcom_scm_res(9) β€” her sibling, go say hi πŸ’œ

ngl bestie, every field here matters, so don't go skipping any of them on the vibe check πŸ‘€ the args array is literally capped at MAX_QCOM_SCM_ARGS, so keep that in mind fr fr.

and that's the whole page, iykyk πŸ§šπŸ’… this one lives at ./drivers/firmware/qcom, dated October 2026, straight from the Kernel API Manual β€” mwah, slay, periodt πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŒΈ
