👑 svc_normal_to_secure_thread(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual, and this page is giving “tiny kthread function with main character energy” ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

svc_normal_to_secure_thread — the function to run in the kthread 🧚

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int svc_normal_to_secure_thread (void *data );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• data — data pointer for kthread function. literally handing the kthread its little data pointer 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: the service layer driver creates the stratix10_svc_smc_hvc_call kthread on CPU node 0 — yes, that exact vibe — and its function stratix10_svc_secure_call_thread is the one used to handle SMC or HVC calls between the kernel driver and the secure monitor software. no cap, that's the whole glow-up of this function ✨

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 for success or -ENOMEM on error. that's it, bestie 💖
