STRUCT SEV_USER_DATA_PEK_CSR(9)
π struct sev_user_data_pek_csr(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie π
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 β¨PEK_CSR command parametersβ¨ 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 π¦
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct sev_user_data_pek_csr β the PEK_CSR command parameters, periodt. that's literally her whole thing π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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 π
π«Ά Members π«Ά
okay so these are the fields, and yes we're going through all of them, there's only two, we have time:
addressβ this is the PEK certificate chain. like, the actual location of it. main character field energy πlengthβ the length of the certificate. gotta know how much of it you're dealing with, obviously π
ngl, she's a very minimal struct. no extra fields, no drama, justaddressandlengthβ and honestly? iconic π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
go check out the kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/psp-sev.h β that's where she lives β plus her whole friend group of fellow structs, which are also very much worth your time:
struct sev_user_data_status(9)struct sev_user_data_pdh_cert_export(9)struct sev_user_data_get_id(9)struct sev_user_data_get_id2(9)struct sev_user_data_snp_status(9)struct sev_user_data_snp_config(9)struct sev_issue_cmd(9)
and that's the whole page, bestie, you're officially a sev_user_data_pek_csr expert now π
cute little sign-off π this one comes to you straight out of ./include/uapi/linux, dated October 2026, and it's titled struct sev_u...data_pek_csr(9) β iykyk. mwah, go read some more man pages for me πβ¨
