vasilito f31522130f fix: comprehensive boot warnings and exceptions — fixable silenced, unfixable diagnosed
Build system (5 gaps hardened):
- COOKBOOK_OFFLINE defaults to true (fork-mode)
- normalize_patch handles diff -ruN format
- New 'repo validate-patches' command (25/25 relibc patches)
- 14 patched Qt/Wayland/display recipes added to protected list
- relibc archive regenerated with current patch chain

Boot fixes (fixable):
- Full ISO EFI partition: 16 MiB → 1 MiB (matches mini, BIOS hardcoded 2 MiB offset)
- D-Bus system bus: absolute /usr/bin/dbus-daemon path (was skipped)
- redbear-sessiond: absolute /usr/bin/redbear-sessiond path (was skipped)
- daemon framework: silenced spurious INIT_NOTIFY warnings for oneshot_async services (P0-daemon-silence-init-notify.patch)
- udev-shim: demoted INIT_NOTIFY warning to INFO (expected for oneshot_async)
- relibc: comprehensive named semaphores (sem_open/close/unlink) replacing upstream todo!() stubs
- greeterd: Wayland socket timeout 15s → 30s (compositor DRM wait)
- greeter-ui: built and linked (header guard unification, sem_compat stubs removed)
- mc: un-ignored in both configs, fixed glib/libiconv/pcre2 transitive deps
- greeter config: removed stale keymapd dependency from display/greeter services
- prefix toolchain: relibc headers synced, _RELIBC_STDLIB_H guard unified

Unfixable (diagnosed, upstream):
- i2c-hidd: abort on no-I2C-hardware (QEMU) — process::exit → relibc abort
- kded6/greeter-ui: page fault 0x8 — Qt library null deref
- Thread panics fd != -1 — Rust std library on Redox
- DHCP timeout / eth0 MAC — QEMU user-mode networking
- hwrngd/thermald — no hardware RNG/thermal in VM
- live preload allocation — BIOS memory fragmentation, continues on demand

This is a historical description of what is now the kgsl backend
in libdrm freedreno (before the upstream drm/msm driver).  Note
that the kgsl backend requires the "kgsl-drm" shim driver, which
usually is in disrepair (QCOM does not build it for android), and
due to random differences between different downstream android
kernel branches it may or may not work.  So YMMV.

Original README:
----------------

Note that current msm kernel driver is a bit strange.  It provides a
DRM interface for GEM, which is basically sufficient to have DRI2
working.  But it does not provide KMS.  And interface to 2d and 3d
cores is via different other devices (/dev/kgsl-*).  This is not
quite how I'd write a DRM driver, but at this stage it is useful for
xf86-video-freedreno and fdre (and eventual gallium driver) to be
able to work on existing kernel driver from QCOM, to allow to
capture cmdstream dumps from the binary blob drivers without having
to reboot.  So libdrm_freedreno attempts to hide most of the crazy.
The intention is that when there is a proper kernel driver, it will
be mostly just changes in libdrm_freedreno to adapt the gallium
driver and xf86-video-freedreno (ignoring the fbdev->KMS changes).

So don't look at freedreno as an example of how to write a libdrm
module or a DRM driver.. it is just an attempt to paper over a non-
standard kernel driver architecture.
