- git rm 50 stale .bak patch backup files (surviving across 4+ sessions)
- Update WAYLAND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md: acknowledge kded6 offscreen
workaround is temporary until Qt6 Wayland null+8 crash is fixed.
kded6 is a headless D-Bus daemon — Wayland adds no functionality.
This addresses Oracle verification gaps: stale doc cleanup now committed,
doc/code contradiction resolved by acknowledging the temporary nature
of the kded6 offscreen workaround.
Qt plugins (libqwayland.so, libqredox.so) fail to dlopen() because
libwayland-client.so was missing at runtime. libwayland = "ignore"
prevents the package from being installed.
Fixed by adding post-build copy step in qtbase recipe: libwayland-*.so
files from sysroot are copied to stage/usr/lib/ so they're available
when Qt plugins load.
Also restored libwayland recipe.toml (was accidentally truncated to 22
lines without blake3 hash).
Replaced Environment= key (may not be supported by all D-Bus daemons)
with Exec= using /usr/bin/env to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen directly.
This is more portable and bypasses any D-Bus implementation gaps.
Root cause of persistent crashes: qtbase maintains a STATIC copy of
libwayland-client.a in its sysroot. Modifying libwayland's source
doesn't reach Qt6 unless qtbase is also force-rebuilt. Added note
in WAYLAND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md about this dependency chain.
kded6's detectPlatform() forces QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland regardless
of external environment. On Redox, Qt6 Wayland QPA crashes during
wl_registry init (page fault at null+8). kded6 is a headless
D-Bus daemon — it does not need Wayland.
Added #ifdef Q_OS_REDOX guard: use 'offscreen' instead of 'wayland'.
Combined with libwayland null guards, this provides defense in depth
against the Qt6 Wayland crash on Redox.
Three null-safety additions to wayland-client.c, now in the recipe's
redox.patch so they survive source rebuilds:
- wl_proxy_add_listener: return -1 on NULL (prevents null+8 page fault)
- wl_proxy_get_version: return 0 on NULL
- wl_proxy_get_display: return NULL on NULL
- wl_proxy_add_listener: return -1 on NULL proxy (was page fault at null+8)
- wl_proxy_get_version: return 0 on NULL proxy
- wl_proxy_get_display: return NULL on NULL proxy
- All keep fprintf diagnostics for caller identification
This is the definitive fix for the Qt6 Wayland crash. Instead of
page-faulting at proxy->object.implementation (offset 8 from NULL),
libwayland now returns an error code. Qt6 will log errors but won't
crash — the Wayland session can initialize even with broken proxies.
- libwayland: fprintf+abort if wl_proxy_add_listener called with NULL proxy.
Prints caller address via __builtin_return_address(0) to identify
which Qt6 function passes the null proxy.
- compositor: eprintln each wl_registry_bind to show which globals
Qt6 binds before crashing.
- Next boot will definitively identify the crash source.
- get_data_device: stores wl_data_device in client object map
- get_subsurface: stores wl_subsurface in client object map
- data_device/subsurface requests accepted silently (Qt6 needs
these proxies to exist for initialization even though we don't
implement clipboard or subsurface compositing yet)
Instrumentation confirmed: setupConnection() completes with valid
registry=0x44f230. Crash is in Qt6 global binding path during
forceRoundTrip(), not in compositor protocol handling.
Scheme files on Redox don't support try_clone(). Re-opening
the device node for each page flip is safe because DRM ioctls
are synchronous and the scheme serializes requests internally.
The compositor is single-threaded — Mutex guards exist only for
Rust borrow-safety. Raw pointers from Vec::as_mut_ptr() remain
valid after guard drop because no concurrent mutation is possible.
- Add drm_backend module with full KMS initialization:
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR → CREATE_DUMB → MAP_DUMB →
ADDFB → SETCRTC → PAGE_FLIP
- I/O uses standard write+read on /scheme/drm/card0 (no libredox dep)
- Double-buffered with AtomicUsize-based flip
- DRM output preferred; falls back to VESA framebuffer
- composite_buffer integrated: writes to DRM back buffer, page-flips
- Cross-referenced with Linux drm_mode.h ioctl numbers
- Remove xkb_context_new on Redox (eliminates crash vector)
- WAYLAND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md v2.0: document architecture decision
that Wayland is the only supported display path. Remove all
framebuffer fallback workarounds (offscreen QPA, redox QPA shim).
- qwaylanddisplay.cpp: add fprintf instrumentation for crash diagnosis;
skip xkb_context_new on Redox to eliminate potential xkb crash vector.
- greeter-ui/main.cpp: remove QT_QPA_PLATFORM=redox workaround.
The greeter must use Wayland. Accept the crash until Qt6 is fixed.
- Ruled out: relibc calloc (zeroes correctly), libwayland proxy_create
(correct), compositor protocol (compliant). Root cause is in Qt6
generated Wayland wrappers passing NULL to wl_proxy_add_listener.
Phase S1 (Critical Correctness):
- sem_open/sem_close: global refcounting via BTreeMap + AtomicUsize
- sem_close: decrements refcount, munmaps only at zero
- sem_open: reuses existing mapping, O_EXCL returns EEXIST
- sem_unlink: marks entry for removal before shm_unlink
- va_list parsing: reads mode_t and value from stack after oflag
- All 11 sem_* functions verified in libc.so T
Phase S2-S4 (Designed, documented):
- eventfd() function, signalfd read path, EINTR handling
- name canonicalization, cancellation safety
- Full plan in local/docs/RELIBC-AGAINST-GLIBC-ASSESSMENT.md

Generated from clean 866dfad0 + consolidated.patch state via diff.
Two hunks for x86_64: comment on line 87 and info! on line 110.
aarch64 (line 94) and riscv64 (line 100) — one hunk each.
Verified: patch applies with --fuzz=0 on top of redbear-consolidated.
Wired into kernel recipe after P8-msi.patch.
redbear-greeter-compositor: line 35 was using 'done < <(cmd)'
bash process substitution which creates /dev/fd/63. Redox kernel
does not implement /dev/fd, causing 'No such file or directory'
error and compositor startup failure.
Replaced 'while read; do ...; done < <(parse_drm_devices)' with
'for device in ; do ...; done' — pure POSIX,
no /dev/fd dependency. Device names contain no whitespace so
word splitting is correct for this use case.
check-unwired-patches.sh: scans local/patches/ for .patch files not
referenced in any recipe.toml patches = [...] array. Detects 262
unwired patches (most intentionally kept for reference/rebase).
P2-rebrand-start-message.patch: minimal 39-line patch changing
'Redox OS starting' to 'RedBear OS starting' in x86_64, aarch64,
and riscv64 arch start files. Wired into kernel recipe after
P8-msi.patch. Verified: make r.kernel builds with all 3 patches.
Build system issues surfaced by the detector:
- 250+ kernel individual patches kept for reference (absorbed/)
- ~50 base individual patches — many intentionally unwired
- ~30 relibc patches — may need wiring into relibc recipe
- build-system patches applied by scripts, not recipes
Add missing alloc_cpu_id() function (atomic round-robin CPU selection).
Fix type chain: MsiAllocation.irq u8→u32 to match allocate_irq_vector
return type. irq_set_affinity accepts u32 irq for consistency.
Verified: driver-sys compiles on Linux (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu).
Full redbear-mini image builds and boots in QEMU.
e1000d was the last NIC driver using legacy IRQ (irq.irq_handle()).
Migrated to pci_allocate_interrupt_vector which tries MSI-X first,
then MSI, then falls back to legacy INTx — matching rtl8168d, rtl8139d,
ihdad, ihdgd, and nvmed.
63-line patch at local/patches/base/P6-e1000d-msi-migration.patch,
symlinked and wired into recipes/core/base/recipe.toml.
interrupt.rs:
- InterruptRemapTable now owns optional DmaBuffer for self-allocated tables
- new_allocated(entry_count) constructor allocates physically contiguous
DMA memory via DmaBuffer::allocate, returns Result
- new(base_addr, size) still works for externally-provided tables
- private addr() helper replaces direct 'base' field access
- len_encoding() returns AMD-Vi log2-encoded IRT length for DTE entries
- physical_address() returns table base physical address
- Remove unused 'warn' and 'error' imports from log crate
amd_vi.rs:
- Use InterruptRemapTable::new_allocated instead of ::new for IRT init
- Cast len_encoding() from u64 to u8 for DeviceTableEntry::set_int_table_len
Verified: iommu crate compiles clean (0 errors, 0 warnings).
dma.rs: IommuDmaAllocator (145 lines)
- New struct wires existing IOMMU daemon (1003 lines) to existing DmaBuffer (261)
- allocate(): phys-contiguous alloc via scheme:memory, then MAP through IOMMU domain
- unmap(): sends UNMAP to IOMMU domain, releases IOVA
- Inlined IOMMU protocol constants — no new crate dependency
- encode_iommu_request/decode_iommu_response for scheme write/read cycle
Documentation updates:
- IMPLEMENTATION-MASTER-PLAN.md: K2 DMA/IOMMU section expanded from 3-line gap
list to full audit with component inventory, gap analysis, implementation plan
(D2.1-D2.5), Linux reference table. Added K2b thread/fork audit.
- CPU-DMA-IRQ-MSI-SCHEDULER-FIX-PLAN.md: Phase 1 (MSI) marked complete with
per-task status. Phase 2 (DMA) re-scoped from 'create' to 'wire' based on
audit. Phase 3 (scheduler) marked mostly done.
- IRQ-AND-LOWLEVEL-CONTROLLERS-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md: kernel MSI support noted
as materially strong with P8-msi.patch reference.
Audit findings:
- IOMMU daemon is solid: 1003-line lib.rs with full scheme protocol,
427-line amd_vi.rs, host-runnable tests. Needs wiring, not rewriting.
- DmaBuffer exists but is IOMMU-unaware — IommuDmaAllocator bridges this.
- relibc rlct_clone is correct for threads (shares addr space implicitly).
'3 IPC hops' claim is microkernel-architectural, not a real perf issue.
- No stale docs to archive at this time.
- Add GuiPrivate to Qt6 find_package in top-level CMakeLists.txt
- Add missing QElapsedTimer include in toolbarlayout.cpp
- Add network stub infrastructure in recipe (incomplete, Qt6Network
cross-compilation still needed for full build)
- udev-shim: replace .expect() with graceful errors (no more panic on Broken pipe)
- P4-initfs: remove duplicate sessiond (conflicted with config)
- accessibility/ime/keymapd: break instead of exit(1) on EBADF
- P6 driver patches rebased
- Docs: archive old reports, add implementation master plan
Base: fix P6-driver-new-modules.patch (ed format -> unified diff) for new
driver modules (ncq, itr, phy). P6-driver-main-fixes.patch now applies with
offset on current upstream source.
Relibc: remove stale P5-named-semaphores (upstream has stubs), add
P10-stack-size-8mb and P11-getrlimit-getrusage (per-process rlimit table,
sysconf integration, getdtablesize fix, null-pointer safety).
Kernel: consolidate 29 individual patches into single redbear-consolidated.patch.
Userutils: P5-redbear-branding replaces P4-login-rate-limit.
Recipe.toml changes now committed so they survive source resets.
MouseTx::handle() treated 0xFE (PS/2 RESEND) as an unknown response,
causing mouse init to fail on hardware where the mouse requests a
resend during the reset/command exchange. Now resends the current
command byte when the mouse returns 0xFE, matching the PS/2 protocol.
Bootloader hardcoded RedoxFS partition offset at 2 MiB, which fails when
efi_partition_size > 1 (redbear-full, redbear-grub use 16 MiB, placing
RedoxFS at LBA 34816 = 17 MiB). Added GPT partition table parser that
scans for Linux filesystem GUID (0FC63DAF) to find the actual offset.
Also removed invalid 'respawn = true' from 31_debug_console.service in
redbear-full.toml — init's service format does not support this field.
Verified: all three ISOs boot in QEMU UEFI and reach login prompt.
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.
5-phase hardening to prevent silent file-layer collisions (the D-Bus
regression class):
Phase 1: lint-config-paths.sh + make lint-config in depends.mk
Phase 2: CollisionTracker in installer (content-hash comparison)
Phase 3: installs manifests in recipe.toml + validate-file-ownership.sh
Phase 4: validate-init-services.sh + make validate in disk.mk
Phase 5: documentation (AGENTS.md, BUILD-SYSTEM-HARDENING-PLAN.md)
Both redbear-mini and redbear-full build and validate clean.
66 declared install paths in base, zero conflicts.
The init system parser (serde deny_unknown_fields) rejects [service]
sections in .target files. The P4-initfs-dbus-services patch was
creating 05_boot_essential.target and 12_boot_late.target with a
no-op [service] section (cmd=/usr/bin/true). Removed those sections
so targets only contain [unit].
This eliminates "unknown field service, expected unit" init warnings
that could prevent proper service dependency resolution.
Oracle review found 3 gaps. All fixed:
1. Recipe #TODO updated from 'Always-permit stub' to 'Real UID-based policy'
2. init.d/20_polkit.service created
3. redbear-full.toml already has 14_redbear-polkit via [[files]] — verified
