Adds the sighup module to driver-manager: a dedicated worker
thread that polls an AtomicBool flag and calls SharedBlacklist::replace()
to atomically swap the live blacklist from disk. The actual
libc::signal install is left to the host program to avoid a libc
Cargo dep; the public set_reload_flag() function is the public
interface that any signal-handler code can call to trigger a reload.
sighup.rs:
- AtomicBool flag (RELOAD_FLAG) that the signal handler sets
- spawn_reload_worker spawns a named thread 'driver-manager-sighup'
- worker polls every 100ms; on flag flip, calls blacklist.replace()
- install_sighup_handler is a placeholder (the libc::signal call
would normally go here; deferred to avoid adding a libc dep)
- 1 unit test covers the flag round-trip
main.rs:
- Spawns the sighup worker at startup with a clone of the
shared blacklist Arc
concurrent.rs:
- Trivial whitespace-only change from earlier round
(DriverMatch type cleanup)
Test totals: 67 tests across 4 crates, all passing.

Fourth-round integrations of the driver-manager migration's D-phase.
Three new modules in driver-manager: heartbeat, aer, plus a
SharedBlacklist wrapper around the existing Blacklist that supports
live reload.
heartbeat.rs:
- Heartbeat struct with a publishing thread that writes a JSON
status line to /var/run/driver-manager.heartbeat.json every 5s
- Tracks bound / deferred / spawned / unbound / on_error counters
- 3 unit tests cover counter updates, JSON output, and clone semantics
aer.rs:
- AER (PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting) listener thread
- Reads /scheme/acpi/aer for events (parses severity + device bdf)
- Routes to bound driver via scheme:driver-manager lookup
- Returns RecoveryAction (Handled / ResetDevice / RescanBus) based
on severity
- Falls back to log-and-no-op when /scheme/acpi is absent
- 7 unit tests cover parsing, routing, and severity mapping
policy.rs:
- Adds SharedBlacklist = Arc<RwLock<Blacklist>> + source_path
- Supports live reload via replace() (re-reads from source_path)
- is_blacklisted() takes a read lock (lock-free for the probe hot path)
- set_global_shared_blacklist in config.rs wires it into the manager
- 2 new unit tests cover replace() and snapshot isolation
main.rs:
- Spawns the heartbeat thread at startup (file at /var/run)
- Constructs the SharedBlacklist from the policy directory
config.rs:
- Replaces GLOBAL_BLACKLIST OnceLock<Blacklist> with
OnceLock<SharedBlacklist>; the probe hot path reads via
Arc<RwLock>, not the OnceLock directly
Docs:
- DRIVER-MANAGER-MIGRATION-PLAN.md v1.6 status table (64 tests)
- D5-AUDIT.md v1.6 update
- HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md adds heartbeat and AER rows
- AGENTS.md + docs/README.md pointers to v1.6
Test totals: 64 tests across 4 crates, all passing.
§ 0.5 audit-no-stubs.py: 0 violations across 37 files.
SIGHUP trampoline for the SharedBlacklist is left for a future round;
the replace() infrastructure is in place today so an operator can
add the signal handler without changing the policy module.
Round-two integrations of the driver-manager migration's D-phase.
The policy loader is now active (the redbear-driver-policy package
now actually changes spawn_decision_gate behavior at runtime), the
--concurrent=N CLI flag enables the SMP worker pool, PciQuirkFlags
is wired into actual driver spawn (env vars to the child), and the
two C0 service files have been committed in the local/sources/base
submodule. The unused modern_tech orchestrator was removed (the
redox_driver_core::modern_technology helpers remain as a library for
downstream consumers).
driver-manager (16 tests, was 13):
- config.rs: PciQuirkFlags hints are now passed to the spawned child as
env vars (REDBEAR_DRIVER_PCI_IRQ_MODE=intx_or_msi, REDBEAR_DRIVER_DISABLE_ACCEL=1).
Adds blacklist_match() consult at probe time before spawn_decision_gate.
- main.rs: --concurrent=N CLI flag (default 0 = serial), parses arg and
routes through redox_driver_core::concurrent::ConcurrentDeviceManager.
Loads /etc/driver-manager.d/ blacklist at startup via
set_global_blacklist(); on failure falls back to an empty list.
- policy.rs: new file. BlacklistFile / BlacklistEntry TOML schema,
load_dir() reads .toml/.conf files from the policy directory and
builds a BTreeSet of module names. Missing directory returns empty
(opt-in). Tests cover missing / valid / invalid-file paths.
local/sources/base submodule pointer (commit 0407d9cc in submodule):
Adds the two dormant service files (00_driver-manager.service in
init.d/ and 40_driver-manager-initfs.service in init.initfs.d/).
Both are gated by ConditionPathExists=!/etc/driver-manager.d/{disabled,
initfs-active} so the boot path remains on pcid-spawner until
operator ratification.
redox-driver-core: unchanged library. The modern_technology helpers
are still available for downstream consumers (cpufreqd, thermald)
to integrate when they exist; the in-manager orchestrator that
was added in the v1.3 round has been removed because it wrote JSON
files that nothing read.
§ 0.5 audit-no-stubs.py: 0 violations across 34 files. 52 tests pass
across the three crates.
Full implementation of the driver-manager migration's D-phase
(parallel development) per the v1.3 plan. The § 0.5 comprehensive
implementation principle is enforced by an automated audit-no-stubs
gate that returns 0 violations across 34 files. C-phase cutover remains
dormant and gated by ConditionPathExists until operator ratification.
redox-driver-core (28 unit + 5 integration tests):
- concurrent.rs: SMP-aware worker pool over std::thread::scope with a
self-contained counting semaphore (Mutex+Condvar), preserving the
existing serial enumerate() path
- dynid.rs: PciQuirkFlags-style runtime device-ID registration
(add_dynid/remove_dynid/list_dynids), with the new DynidError type
- modern_technology.rs: concrete (non-stub) implementations of
C-state/P-state advisors, IOMMU group registration, MSI-X vector
proposal, NUMA node lookup
- driver.rs: Driver::on_error() trait method with ErrorSeverity and
RecoveryAction types; default Driver::params() now provides
universal enabled+priority fields instead of empty defaults
- manager.rs: DeviceManager::remove_device() authoritative unbind path,
plus buses_iter / drivers_iter / bound_devices_snapshot /
deferred_queue_snapshot accessors
- tests/dynid.rs: integration tests for the DeviceManager API
redox-driver-pci (3 tests, unchanged):
- pre-existing PciBus; no breakage
driver-manager (13 tests):
- Cargo.toml: adds redox-driver-sys path dep
- quirks.rs: integrates redox_driver_sys::pci::PciDeviceInfo +
PciQuirkFlags — NEED_FIRMWARE defers probe, NO_MSIX/NO_MSI/
FORCE_LEGACY_IRQ signal intx-fallback, DISABLE_ACCEL signals
accel-disable
- config.rs: real SIGTERM-then-SIGKILL signal_then_collect for
Driver::remove() (3s grace, 50ms poll, escalation); format coexistence
loader accepting both [[drivers]] legacy and [[driver]] new formats
with auto-detect; spawn_decision_gate() 5-signal committee
- hotplug.rs: poll reduced 2000ms → 250ms; exhaustive match arms
with log lines (not silent _ => {})
- main.rs: 250ms hotplug poll, exhaustive match arms with log lines
redox-driver-sys quirks:
- dmi.rs: log instead of silent _ => {} catch-all
Driver manager policy package (redbear-driver-policy):
- /etc/driver-manager.d/00-blacklist.conf (4 driver blacklist entries)
- /etc/driver-manager.d/50-amdgpu.toml (AMD GPU driver policy)
- /etc/driver-manager.d/initfs.manifest (ordered initfs driver list)
- /etc/driver-manager.d/autoload.d/ntsync.conf (autoload ntsync module)
- /etc/driver-manager.d/README.md (explanation)
- recipe.toml: custom install script that stages into /etc/driver-manager.d/
Driver manager service files (in local/sources/base submodule):
- local/sources/base/init.d/00_driver-manager.service — dormant
(oneshot_async, ConditionPathExists=!/etc/driver-manager.d/disabled)
- local/sources/base/init.initfs.d/40_driver-manager-initfs.service —
dormant (oneshot, ConditionPathExists=!/etc/driver-manager.d/initfs-active)
Audit gate:
- local/scripts/driver-manager-audit-no-stubs.py: static analysis
scanning 34 source files for stub macros (R1), empty catch-all
match arms (R2), and DriverParams::default() stubs (R3). Returns
0 violations at v1.3.
- local/scripts/driver-manager-audit-no-stubs.sh: thin wrapper
- local/scripts/test-driver-manager-no-stubs-qemu.sh: D4 gate — runs
the audit plus cargo test on every crate, returns 0 iff both pass
Test scripts (C-phase scaffolding, dormant until C1):
- test-driver-manager-parity.sh (C1)
- test-driver-manager-active.sh (C3)
- test-driver-manager-initfs.sh (C2)
- test-driver-manager-hotplug.sh (D3)
- test-driver-manager-pm.sh (D2)
- test-driver-manager-cutover.sh (C4)

Note: local/sources/base service files (00_driver-manager.service and
40_driver-manager-initfs.service) live in a submodule and need a
separate commit there. They are NOT included in this commit.
Log-grep legs (MSI-X, xHCI IRQ) re-confirmed again this morning; login-based
legs still blocked by the concurrent .claude QEMU workload (SIGKILL of
competing guests); retry loop armed; IOMMU leg needs a redbear-full image.
IRQ plan + validation matrix: the login-based QEMU proofs (PS/2 + serio,
monotonic timer, IOMMU first-use, USB storage BOT) now run through
local/scripts/qemu-login-expect.py (stdlib python) instead of the host expect
tool. MSI-X (virtio-net) and xHCI interrupt-driven mode were re-confirmed on
the current redbear-mini ISO. Re-confirmation of the login-based legs with the
new harness is pending an uncontended host (parallel QEMU workload kills QEMU
processes and stalls guest boots). Also record the fbcond Performing-handoff
boot freeze observed with -vga std (separate graphics-path issue).
Correct the P3-A runtime-validation note and matrix row: the
intermittent apparent boot freeze is startup latency under load (guest
clock ~10-15x slower than wall), not a deadlock or an xhcid bug. A short
50-60s test timeout occasionally cuts the spawn+enumerate sequence,
producing a 'frozen' log while the guest is still running — proven by
18 boots (one apparent short-timeout loss), a 12s log-quiet 'freeze'
the guest resumed from, and every >=180s run enumerating fully. No fix
required beyond adequate test timeouts; no speculative kernel-deadlock
fix was implemented.
The usb-kbd behind the QEMU usb-hub now enumerates fully: debounce ->
port reset -> enable -> second debounce -> pre-attach -> attach ->
ATTACH 5.2 -> slot 3 -> addressed -> descriptors read -> HID class match
-> 'Loading subdriver "USB HID" for port 5.2' (class 3.1 proto 1,
keyboard boot protocol).
Root cause of the final stall: an unconditional SetPortFeature
(PORT_INDICATOR) for every connected+enabled port NAK-hung on QEMU's
indicator-less hub (no control-transfer timeout), blocking the flow
before the post-enable debounce. Now gated on
wHubCharacteristics.HUB_CHAR_PORTIND like Linux has_indicators.
test-usb-hub-qemu.sh: check #5 now requires the hub-child subdriver
line ('Loading subdriver "USB HID" for port <root>.<child>') so a
root-port HID (tablet) can no longer satisfy it — closes a false-
positive hole. Timeout raised to 360s for slow TT-path driver bring-up.
Docs (plan P3-A runtime validation + matrix): full hub + hub-child
chain recorded as QEMU-proven; remaining items (intermittent reactor
startup race, slow TT-path Evaluate Context) noted.
USB-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md P3-A: record the 2026-07-19 QEMU runtime
validation (test-usb-hub-qemu.sh) — full usbhubd chain proven
(descriptor, EP1 change detection, initial scan, debounce, reset to
port-enable), the five latent bugs it surfaced and that were fixed
(scheme attach bootstrap, bitmap off-by-one, missing initial scan,
unbounded EP1 wait, debounce clear deadlock), QEMU's ClearPortFeature
stall handled gracefully by P2-C recovery, and the remaining gap:
hub-child device enumeration (usb-kbd to HID driver) blocked on
xhcid's hub-child attach path (debug-level; TT/route investigation)
plus an intermittent xhcid IRQ-reactor startup race.
HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md: hub row to QEMU-validated for the
enumeration chain, with the hub-child gap noted.
Track base pointer to bd379e07 (usbhubd debounce/reset-wait/U0-wait/
wHubDelay + SET_ISOCH_DELAY, HubDescriptorV3 device_removable fix).
USB-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md: P3-A marked CORE COMPLETE with the full
Linux equivalence inventory and documented follow-ups (USB 2.0 bitmaps,
SS.Inactive warm-reset loop, multi-TT, hub LPM). Hub gap-table row
updated (249 -> ~700 LoC with Linux state machine).
HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md: hub row updated — enumeration core
complete with 14 unit tests; runtime hub proof tracked under P8-B.
