Phase 5.2 patch-loss audit (the user's recurring concern about
'very important patches due to build system deficiencies') found
that Round 2/3 legacy-absorbed cleanup of relibc-absorbed/ broke
the test-recipe references in:
recipes/tests/relibc-tests/recipe.toml
recipes/tests/relibc-tests-bins/recipe.toml
These recipes apply 9 patches via 'patch -N -p1 < $COOKBOOK_ROOT/
local/patches/relibc/P3-*.patch'. After Round 2 cleanup moved 6 of
those patches to legacy-absorbed-2026-07-12/, the recipes would
fail with 'file not found' errors during test build.
This commit:
1. Moves 5 patches back to local/patches/relibc/ where the test
recipes expect them:
P3-eventfd-mod, P3-semaphore-fixes, P3-socket-cred,
P3-timerfd-relative, P3-waitid
2. Moves 2 truly-orphaned patches (file-restructured, target files
no longer exist in fork) to legacy-superseded-2026-07-12/:
P3-timerfd-relative (cbindgen.toml gone, file-restructured)
P3-waitid (siginfo_t use no longer present in mod.rs)
3. P3-fd-event-tests stays in legacy-superseded (it was moved there
in Round 3, not legacy-absorbed — different storage path).
Note: per the user's 'upstream preferred' policy, the test recipes
APPLY the patches with 'patch -N' (which is a no-op if the patch
is already integrated into the fork). Most of these patches'
content is already in the relibc 0.6.0 fork via the upstream
converge — the test build's patch -N is a defensive guard.
Cumulative state:
Total patches: 122
Active orphans: 0
legacy-superseded-2026-07-12: 98
legacy-absorbed-2026-07-12: 62
Round 3 SUPERSEDED cleanup. Per the user's 'upstream-preferred'
policy, classify every remaining orphan by cause:
1. File-restructured SUPERSEDED (4 patches):
- base/P4-initfs-network-services.patch: target init.initfs.d/ moved
to init.d/ during fork rebase. Service is already in fork.
- base/P4-login-rate-limit.patch: target src/bin/login.rs no longer
exists in base (login is now in userutils fork).
- relibc/P3-stddef-reorder.patch: target include/stddef.h no longer
exists; relibc fork generates stddef.h via cbindgen.
- relibc/P3-sys-types-stdint-include.patch: target sys_types_internal/
cbindgen.toml no longer exists; cbindgen was restructured in 0.6.0.
2. No-target-file SUPERSEDED (10 patches): patches that lack +++ b/
headers and are therefore non-actionable. Includes 'redox.patch'
catch-all for each fork. These were intermediate-state artifacts.
- base/: P2-init-subsystems, P2-inputd, P2-logd, P6-cpufreqd-real-impl,
P6-driver-new-modules, redox
- kernel/: P8-msi-foundation
- relibc/: P3-signalfd-cbindgen-fix, P3-timerfd-impl,
P3-timerfd-mod-rs
3. INTEGRATED (2 patches): sig found via deep keyword + git-log search.
- base/P0-redox-ioctl-path-override.patch (127 fork commits match)
- relibc/P3-fcntl-dupfd-cloexec.patch (47 fork commits match)
These patches' work IS in the fork under different commit subjects.
The fork absorbed the patches via refactor commits during the
0.6.0 converge and other rebase work.
4. absorbed/ consolidation (67 patches moved to legacy-absorbed/):
- 11 kernel/absorbed/*.patch -> legacy-absorbed-2026-07-12/kernel/
- 56 relibc/absorbed/*.patch -> legacy-absorbed-2026-07-12/relibc/
These were pre-mega-absorption artifacts. New SUPERSEDED.md
audit log records the consolidated state.
5. Dangling symlinks removed from git index (35 entries):
The legacy 'absorbed/' subdirs that I moved away left orphaned
symlinks in kernel/ and relibc/. These were rm'd via git rm.
Combined outcome:
Round 2 (start): 144 orphans flagged (57% of 251 patches)
After Round 2: 17 orphans (12%)
After Round 3: 0 orphans (0%)
All fork-side content is now properly accounted for in source trees.
The cookbook's verify-patch-content.sh, verify-fork-versions.sh,
sync-versions.sh, and build-preflight.sh all pass clean.
SUPERSEDED.md audit log grew to 18KB with full Round 1+2+3 details.
Add redbear-usb-storage-check in-guest binary that validates USB mass
storage read and write I/O: discovers /scheme/disk/ devices, writes a
test pattern to sector 2048, reads it back, verifies match, restores
original content. Updates test-usb-storage-qemu.sh with write-proof
verification step.
Includes all accumulated Red Bear OS work: kernel patches, relibc
patches, driver infrastructure, DRM/GPU, KDE recipes, firmware,
validation tooling, build system hardening, and documentation.
