vasilito 6729409b4d redbear-power: v1.14 + v1.15 — CPU% + disk throughput + restoration
This commit restores and completes v1.14 (CPU% in Process tab) and
v1.15 (disk throughput in Storage tab). Previous sessions landed
partial work (cpu_pct field on ProcessInfo, read_kbps/write_kbps on
DiskStats) but never wired them up. This commit:

v1.14 — Process CPU% (Process tab):
- ProcInfo::read_with_cpu_pct(prev, dt_secs, num_cpus)
- App::prev_processes + prev_refresh_secs fields
- 13-tick refresh now uses read_with_cpu_pct with wall-clock dt
- 3 new unit tests (formula + zero + underflow)

v1.15 — Disk throughput (Storage tab):
- StorageInfo::read_with_throughput(prev, dt_secs)
- App::prev_storage field
- 11-tick refresh now uses read_with_throughput
- 3 new unit tests (formula + underflow + zero dt)

Updated render.rs:
- Process panel column header: PID STATE PRIO NI THR CPU% RSS VIRT COMM
- Storage panel Read/Written lines show 'X I/Os, Y KiB/s'

Tests: 49/49 pass (5 bench + 12 sensor + 7 network + 12 storage +
13 process).

Cross-compile SHA256: d1207b648ce89e19f8dd040f234648e1665f053ec31f8511ea187627d79bde2d.

Math sanity checks (verified by unit tests):
CPU%: delta=130 ticks, dt=2sec, num_cpus=4 → 1625.0%
Disk: prev=1MB, now=5MB, dt=2sec → 1953.125 KiB/s

Docs: improvement plan §38 (CPU%) + §39 (disk throughput),
CONSOLE-TO-KDE §3.3.2 v1.14 + v1.15, RATATUI-APP-PATTERNS §13.14 +
§14 (5720 LoC, 49 tests).

Red Bear OS

Red Bear OS

A microkernel operating system written in Rust, derived from Redox OS

MIT x86_64 Status


What is Red Bear OS?

Red Bear OS is a general-purpose, Unix-like operating system with a microkernel architecture, written in Rust. It is a full fork of Redox OS, frozen at release 0.1.0, with added hardware support, filesystem drivers, and a KDE Plasma desktop path.

Goals:

  • AMD & Intel parity — first-class support for both platforms on bare metal
  • KDE Plasma desktop — Wayland-based desktop environment via the KWin compositor
  • Hardware GPU acceleration — AMD GPU (amdgpu) and Intel GPU drivers via redox-drm
  • Modern subsystems — USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, ext4, GRUB, D-Bus
  • Offline-first builds — reproducible from archived, BLAKE3-verified sources

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Linux x86_64 host with Rust nightly, QEMU, nasm, and standard build tools.
See the Redox Build Guide for full setup.

Build & Run

# Clone
git clone https://gitea.redbearos.org/vasilito/RedBear-OS.git
cd RedBear-OS

# Recommended: use the Red Bear wrapper
./local/scripts/build-redbear.sh redbear-mini     # Text-only target
./local/scripts/build-redbear.sh redbear-full     # Desktop-capable target

# Boot in QEMU with the resulting image
make qemu

Build script: local/scripts/build-redbear.sh is the canonical entry point. Bare make all works but bypasses the .config checking and REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1 gates that build-redbear.sh enforces. See AGENTS.md § Build Commands for full details.

Public Scripts

Script Purpose
local/scripts/build-redbear.sh Canonical build wrapper for redbear-mini/full/grub
scripts/run.sh Build and run in QEMU (-b to build, -c <config> for target)
scripts/build-iso.sh Build a live ISO for bare-metal boot
scripts/build-all-isos.sh Build all live ISO targets
scripts/network-boot.sh PXE network boot helper
scripts/dual-boot.sh Dual-boot installation helper

Config Targets

Target Type Description
redbear-full Desktop Wayland + KDE + GPU drivers + D-Bus services
redbear-mini Console Text-only recovery / install target
redbear-grub Console Text-only with GRUB boot manager

Current Status

Red Bear OS boots to a login prompt in QEMU with working wired networking, D-Bus system bus, hardware detection daemons, and filesystem support (RedoxFS, ext4, FAT).

Area Status
Boot (ACPI/x2APIC/SMP) Bare-metal proven
Userspace drivers (PCI, storage, net) Working in QEMU
D-Bus system bus + services Working (login1, PolicyKit, UDisks, UPower)
ext4 / FAT filesystems Compiles, installer-wired
POSIX gaps (relibc) 🚧 Bounded Wayland-facing support
DRM/KMS display drivers 🚧 AMD + Intel compile; HW validation pending
Wayland compositor 🚧 Bounded proof; Qt6/KF6 clients crash at init
KDE Plasma desktop 🔄 In progress (Qt6/KF6 compile; KWin/QML blocked)
WiFi / Bluetooth 📋 Planned (architected, implementation pending)

How It Works

Red Bear OS uses a userspace driver model — all drivers run as unprivileged daemons:

Kernel (microkernel)
  └── schemes: memory, irq, event, pipe, debug
        └── Driver daemons (userspace)
              ├── pcid        → PCI enumeration
              ├── e1000d      → Intel ethernet
              ├── xhcid       → USB controller
              └── vesad       → Display framebuffer

The kernel provides minimal services (memory, interrupts, IPC). Everything else — filesystems, networking, graphics, input — runs in userspace.

Red Bear OS uses a full fork model. Upstream Redox sources are frozen and archived. All custom work lives in local/:

We welcome contributions made with or without AI assistance — we care about quality, not how the code was produced.
