vasilito cee25393d8 fix: boot process improvements — dependency cycle, INIT_NOTIFY, probing loop, and log spam fixes
- Fix P15-8-init-cycle-detection.patch: replace visiting+error with seen+silent-skip
  to eliminate 11 false-positive 'dependency cycle detected' errors on shared deps
- Fix P0-daemon-fix-init-notify-unwrap.patch: remove eprintln! for missing
  INIT_NOTIFY (expected for oneshot_async services, ~7 daemons affected)
- Fix driver-manager hotplug loop: add PERMANENTLY_SKIPPED static set shared
  between hotplug handler and DriverConfig::probe() to stop infinite re-probing
  of Fatal/NotSupported/deferred-exhausted device+driver pairs (e.g. ided)
- Fix driver-manager log_timeline: suppress repeated EPIPE/ENOENT errors with
  AtomicI32 dedup and AtomicBool one-shot guards for boot timeline JSON
- Add driver-manager SIGTERM handler, ACPI bus registration, --status mode,
  driver reap loop, graceful shutdown, and reduced deferred retries (30→3)

Base

Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.

You can see what each component does in the following list:

  • audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
  • bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
  • daemon : Redox daemon library
  • drivers
  • init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
  • initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
  • ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
  • logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
  • netstack : Daemon used for networking
  • ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
  • ramfs : RAM filesystem
  • randd : Daemon used for random number generation
  • zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

How To Contribute

To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:

If you want to contribute to drivers read its README

Development

To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.

How To Build

It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.

To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:

  • ./check.sh - Check build for x86_64
  • ./check.sh --arch=ARCH - Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64, i586, riscv64gc)
  • ./check.sh --all - Check build for all ARCH
  • ./check.sh --test - Check the base system boots up on x86_64

You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
