P1 (ACPI/PCI/xHCI, 11 patches) and P5 (init hardening, 2 patches)
exist in local/patches/base/ but cannot be wired due to conflicts
from redox.patch removal. Documented with # TODO rebase notes
per PATCH-GOVERNANCE.md rules.
Fixed common dependency path (../../common → ../common).
Added workspace member entry for drivers/thermald.
thermald now builds as part of base recipe.
19/19 patches. base + base-initfs build.
Boot process now includes:
- 25_serial_getty.service: getty on serial console (visible in QEMU -nographic)
- 29_activate_console.service: inputd -A 2 (activate VT2)
- 30_console.service: getty on VT2 (framebuffer console)
Fixed hunk counts (7→8, 8→9) for correct patch application.
Services use 'oneshot_async' type for fire-and-forget startup.
ZSH is the default shell for all user accounts (base.toml, mini, full, greeter).
P2-2: Login rate limiting (userutils/login.rs):
- Tracks consecutive failures, resets on success
- 3+ failures: exponential delay up to 30 seconds
- Applies to both password and blank-password login paths
P2-3: Network stack in initfs (base-initfs + service files):
- Added e1000d, rtl8168d to base-initfs BINS
- 60_smolnetd.service: network stack in initfs
- 61_dhcpd.service: DHCP client in initfs
- Network available before switch_root
Part of COMPREHENSIVE-FIX-AND-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN Phases P2.
Phase B1+B2 from BOOT-PROCESS-AUDIT:
- 45_usbscsid.service: USB mass storage driver in initfs (requires xhcid)
- 30_redox-drm.service: DRM/KMS display driver in initfs (requires hwd+pcid-spawner)
Both condition-architecture-gated to x86/x86_64.
Phase A1 from BOOT-PROCESS-AUDIT. The ACPI shutdown path now:
- Validates PM1a port is non-zero before writing
- Waits 3 seconds for power-off, then retries with PM1b+SLEEP_EN
- Falls back to keyboard controller reset (0x64=0xFE) on failure
- Handles SLP_TYPb correctly
- Removes fragile Pio::new()+write() without validation
logd now writes all log output to /var/log/system.log (5MB auto-rotation)
in addition to existing scheme listeners. Falls back to /tmp/logd-fallback.log
if /var/log is unavailable. Logs survive reboots for post-mortem analysis.
Part of Phase A2 (Boot Reliability) from BOOT-PROCESS-AUDIT-2026-05-03.
Build system (src/cook/fetch.rs):
- Atomic patch application: applies patches to staging directory (cp -al),
atomically swaps on success, discards on failure — source tree is never
left in a partially-patched state
- normalize_patch(): strips diff --git/index/new-file-mode headers that the
build system's patch command does not recognize
- cleanup_workspace_pollution(): removes orphaned recipes/Cargo.toml and
recipes/Cargo.lock to prevent workspace conflicts
- Added --allow-protected CLI flag to repo binary
Input stack (local/patches/base/P3-*.patch):
- P3-ps2d-led-feedback: PS/2 LED state handling + InputProducer migration
- P3-inputd-keymap-bridge: InputProducer enum, keymap bridge query
- P3-usbhidd-hardening: HID descriptor validation, static lookup table,
8-button mouse support, transfer retry with exponential backoff
- P3-init-colored-output: ANSI-color coded init daemon output (green OK,
red FAILED, yellow SKIP/WARN)
XKB bridge (local/recipes/system/redbear-keymapd/source/src/xkb.rs):
- Parses X11 xkb/symbols/* format, maps XKB keycodes to PS/2 scancodes,
80+ X11 keysym names to Unicode, 4-level key support
Patch governance (local/patches/base/absorbed/README.md):
- Documents consolidation of P0-P3 patches into redox.patch
Finalize all non-artifact changes accumulated from other sessions:
- config updates, recipe changes, source edits, patches
- pkgar/cache artifacts intentionally excluded (build outputs)
This is the maximum achievable scope for this session.
Hardware-accelerated KDE blocked by: QML gate, KWin/Plasma builds,
hardware GPU validation — all require build system + physical GPU.
The 17,046-line redox.patch monolith is no longer referenced in the base
recipe. All 27 individual P2 patches are now listed explicitly in
recipe.toml with symlinks to local/patches/base/.
Coverage gap closed: ixgbed/src/device.rs was the only file not covered
by any individual patch. Added P2-ixgbed-error-handling.patch for the
10GbE Intel driver error handling (println → log::info/warn/error).
Build verified: CI=1 make r.base completes successfully with the new
patch list. The monolith file is preserved as backup but no longer applied.
- IOAPIC: enable full IOAPIC initialization on AMD/Intel bare metal,
dual GSI 0/2 timer mapping for platform compatibility, NMI handler
uses raw COM1 PIO writes to avoid mutex deadlock
- HPET: counter validation, graceful fallback to PIT when HPET missing
- PS/2: fix 0xFE RESEND handling in all MouseState variants, add
controller flush/self-test retry/aux port test from Linux 7.0
- ACPI: defer AML evaluation to avoid blocking initfs driver spawn
- VT chain: remove duplicate rootfs service files (inputd, vesad,
fbcond, getty) that were already handled by initfs phase 1 and the
legacy 30_console script from minimal.toml
- QEMU verified: boots to login prompt, 20 rootfs units (was 26),
single login prompt (was double), only 1 expected error (wifictl)
215 fixes across 33 Rust source files replacing unwrap/expect/panic
with graceful error handling in init, all boot-critical daemons,
and the six graphics driver packages. Fixes inverted scheduler
conditions_met() logic that prevented rootfs from mounting.
- Use full 40-char commit hash in base recipe.toml so the cookbook's
caching logic correctly recognizes already-fetched sources (short
hashes always missed the cache, causing patches to re-apply on top
of already-patched source).
- Add git clean -fd before git reset --hard in fetch.rs so untracked
files from previous patch applications are removed before re-patching.
- Remove ehcid/ohcid/uhcid from base-initfs BINS list (same fix as
base recipe, these drivers don't exist in the current upstream).
With these fixes, redbear-live-mini builds and boots to login prompt in QEMU.
Pin the base source to commit 463f76b9 so that redox.patch and our
P2 patches apply cleanly. Remove ehcid/ohcid/uhcid from BINS since
they don't exist in this upstream version.
- Add /scheme/acpi/resources/<device> endpoint to acpid for _CRS evaluation
- Extract acpi-resource shared crate (917 lines) with ResourceDescriptor types
- Eliminate duplicate type definitions in 5 consumers (i2c-hidd, dw-acpi-i2cd,
intel-thc-hidd, i2c-gpio-expanderd, ucsid)
- Add P2-acpi-i2c-resources.patch (48KB) with all source changes
- Update ACPI-I2C-HID-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md to reflect actual codebase state
Derivative of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) adding:
- AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) via LinuxKPI compat layer
- ext4 filesystem support (ext4d scheme daemon)
- ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal (x2APIC, DMAR, IVRS, MCFG)
- Custom branding (hostname, os-release, boot identity)
Build system is full upstream Redox with RBOS overlay in local/.
Patches for kernel, base, and relibc are symlinked from local/patches/
and protected from make clean/distclean. Custom recipes live in
local/recipes/ with symlinks into the recipes/ search path.
Build: make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
