zynqmp_pm_se...sk_write_reg(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ‘‘ zynqmp_pm_sec_mask_write_reg β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a device node staring at you, and you need the PM firmware to write to it securely, with a mask and everything. That's literally this function. It's giving "trusted middleman" energy πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

zynqmp_pm_sec_mask_write_reg β€” the PM call that securely writes to a given offset of the node 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int zynqmp_pm_sec_mask_write_reg (const u32 node_id , const u32 offset ,
       u32 mask , u32 value );

Not me obsessing over a four-argument signature 😭 she's compact and she knows it.

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • node_id β€” the Node Id of the device. Like, which device are we talking to, bestie? Gotta name names πŸ’–
  • offset β€” the offset to be used, and heads up, it's 20-bit. Twenty bits. Precious little offset πŸ¦‹
  • mask β€” the mask to be used. So we're not just blindly writing, we're being selective ✨
  • value β€” the value to be written. The actual payload, the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

Returns 0 on success, or an error value on failure. That's it. Zero means slay, anything else means the vibe check failed πŸ’€

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/firmware/xilinx/zynqmp.c β€” and honestly the whole friend group is here, get comfy, this is a long guest list:


Bestie note: yes, zynqmp_pm_sec_read_reg(9) is right there in the list too β€” the read half of this whole secure-register situation, iykyk πŸ“–βœ¨

Okay that's the whole page, no cap. Sourced from ./drivers/firmware/xilinx, October 2026 edition, and the page itself answers to the name zynqmp_pm_se...sk_write_reg(9) (the terminal truncated her name, she's dramatic like that 😭). Mwah, go forth and write securely πŸ’œπŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
