πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct sev_user_data_pek_csr(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie πŸŽ€

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API manual, right, and you stumble on struct sev_user_data_pek_csr. that's the ✨PEK_CSR command parameters✨ struct, and honestly? she's small but she's doing her job. this one's short and sweet, no cap β€” let's get into it πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct sev_user_data_pek_csr β€” the PEK_CSR command parameters, periodt. that's literally her whole thing πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, look at her:

struct sev_user_data_pek_csr {
    __u64 address;
    __u32 length;
};

two members, one little glow-up of a struct. she ate and left no crumbs πŸ“


🫢 Members 🫢

okay so these are the fields, and yes we're going through all of them, there's only two, we have time:

  • address β€” this is the PEK certificate chain. like, the actual location of it. main character field energy πŸ‘‘
  • length β€” the length of the certificate. gotta know how much of it you're dealing with, obviously πŸ’–
ngl, she's a very minimal struct. no extra fields, no drama, just address and length β€” and honestly? iconic 🌈

  • struct sev_user_data_pdh_cert_export(9)
  • struct sev_user_data_get_id(9)
