π tee_shm_register_user_buf π
okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual β yes, actual kernel docs, we're being β¨academicβ¨ today β and it's all about tee_shm_register_user_buf, which registers a userspace shared memory buffer. ngl it's a short one, so we're gonna read it together and slay π«Ά

tee_shm_register_user_buf β register a userspace shared memory buffer π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct tee_shm * tee_shm_register_user_buf (struct tee_context *ctx ,
unsigned long addr , size_t length );
so it's giving "returns a struct tee_shm *, takes three things." and that's the whole vibe check lmao π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
ctxβ the context that registers the shared memory. like, who's doing the registering, y'know? main character energy πaddrβ the userspace address of the shared buffer. that's where it lives in user land πlengthβ length of the shared buffer. how much of it there is, periodt π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so this is genuinely the whole description: it returns a pointer to struct tee_shm β¨ that's it. that's the function. short and iconic, no cap π
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
the kernel file is ./drivers/tee/tee_shm.c and it's basically the family group chat of TEE shm functions β go say hi to all of them π¦

lowkey a tiny page but that's fine, we love a bite-sized baddie π
okay that's the whole thing!! mwah π
πΈ that's a wrap, bestie πΈ this cutie came straight out of the source dir ./drivers/tee (that's the version/source situation), dated October 2026, and it's called tee_shm_register_user_buf(9) β go forth and register those user buffers, you absolute icon β¨ππ
