- Implement krealloc in linux-kpi memory.rs with GFP-aware tracker lookup,
copying, and zeroing of grown regions; add krealloc declaration to slab.h
- Align __GFP_ZERO/__GFP_NOWARN and GFP_* values between linux-kpi/slab.h
and redox_glue.h; make __GFP_ZERO a meaningful flag bit
- Add missing POSIX/errno base constants (EFBIG, EISDIR, ESPIPE, etc.) to
linux-kpi linux/errno.h so firmware-size checks and other drivers compile
- Harden linux-kpi bug.h: BUG()/BUG_ON() abort, WARN_ON_ONCE only warns once,
BUILD_BUG_ON uses _Static_assert
- Harden redox_glue.h: add PCI_COMMAND_* flags, CONFIG_HZ/HZ, jiffies
conversion macros, once-only WARN_ON_ONCE, _Static_assert BUILD_BUG_ON
- Implement redox_pci_enable_device/redox_pci_set_master with real local state
and command-bit updates; document pcid-spawner pre-enable
- Remove realloc-only krealloc from redox_stubs.c; it now links from linux-kpi
- Fix wait_for_completion_timeout to interpret timeout as jiffies and convert
to milliseconds, and update msecs/usecs_to_jiffies to use HZ
- Stage previously completed firmware-loader path deps and constructor fix
- Stage base and relibc submodule pointer updates from prior work
Replace ad-hoc struct literals scattered across the source with
named constructor methods (CacheMetadata::placeholder, CacheMetadata::from_source,
FirmwareFallback::load_defaults, FirmwareFallback::load_from_dir,
FirmwareFallback::builtins). This is not a behavior change — it's a
readability fix that makes the field semantics explicit.
Why this matters:
- Previously every struct literal had to remember the full set of
fields including the cache/stats/retry tunables. Adding a new field
required finding every literal in the source tree.
- With named constructors, new fields only need to be set once in
the canonical builder. Test/placeholder sites stay minimal.
- Type-checked signatures at call sites: a placeholder takes (key, len),
a from_source takes (requested_key, source_key, signature). The
compiler now verifies you pass a SourceSignature when you need one.
Cross-referenced with Linux drivers/base/firmware_loader.c: the
underlying semantics (placeholder for in-progress loads, persistent
cache for loaded blobs, builtin fallbacks for known drivers) are
preserved.
Add guard-recipes.sh with four modes:
- --verify: check all local/recipes have correct symlinks into recipes/
- --fix: repair broken symlinks (run before builds)
- --save-all: snapshot all recipe.toml into local/recipes/
- --restore: recreate all symlinks from local/recipes/ (run after sync-upstream)
Wired into apply-patches.sh (post-patch) and sync-upstream.sh (post-sync).
This prevents the build system from deleting recipe files during
cargo cook, make distclean, or upstream source refresh.
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
Sync: ./local/scripts/sync-upstream.sh
