STRUCT TEE_RING_CMD(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct tee_ring_cmd(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the glow-up guide to struct tee_ring_cmd β€” the structure of the command buffer in the TEE ring. yes that's a lot of acronyms, no we're not scared of them, sit with me 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing, verbatim, do not touch, she's perfect:

struct tee_ring_cmd {
    u32 cmd_id;
    u32 cmd_state;
    u32 status;
    u32 res0[1];
    u64 pdata;
    u32 res1[2];
    u8 buf[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
    u32 flag;
 };

that's the layout. every field, in order, exactly like that. periodt πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

okay now the fun part, member by member, main character energy only:

  • cmd_id β€” this cutie refers to enum tee_cmd_id, and she's the command id for the ring buffer interface ✨
  • cmd_state β€” refers to enum tee_cmd_state. that's the whole job description, iykyk
  • status β€” the status of TEE command execution. so like, how did it go? did it slay or did it flop 🫢
  • res0 β€” reserved region. gorgeous, mysterious, reserved, we respect her privacy πŸ’…
  • pdata β€” private data. and the tea is, it's currently unused πŸ™ˆ lowkey just sitting there
  • res1 β€” reserved region. again. reserved girlies stay reserved 🌸
  • buf β€” the TEE command specific buffer. this is where the actual TEE-specific content lives, iconic
  • flag β€” refers to enum cmd_resp_state. flags are flags, she's telling you something πŸŽ€
ngl the reserved fields are literally reserved, so don't go writing your little experiments into res0 or res1. that's not the vibe. πŸ’€
