vasilito 741f144c79 feat: VirtIO GPU driver, libdrm DRM ioctls, KWin/KF6 build fixes, display stack additions
- Add full VirtIO GPU driver with command submission, resource management,
  VirtQueue implementation, and transport layer; includes diagnostic probes
  for resource_create_2d ERR_INVALID_RESOURCE_ID investigation
- Expand libdrm Redox support with DRM ioctl wrappers (ADDFB, RMFB,
  CREATE_DUMB, MAP_DUMB, DESTROY_DUMB, GET_RESOURCES, GET_CONNECTOR,
  GET_CRTC, SET_CRTC, MODE_OBJ_GET_PROPERTIES, etc.) and xf86drm_redox.h
- Add redox-drm scheme handlers for VirtIO GPU-specific DRM ioctls
  (VIRTGPU_RESOURCE_CREATE, VIRTGPU_MAP, VIRTGPU_WAIT, VIRTGPU_INFO, etc.)
- Add display stack recipes: freetype2, lcms2, libdisplay-info, libepoxy,
  libxcvt
- Fix KWin build (recipe.toml expanded, kf6-ksvg added)
- Fix KF6 CMakeLists for cross-compilation (attica, kcmutils, kcolorscheme,
  kcompletion, kconfigwidgets, kdeclarative, kiconthemes, kitemmodels,
  kitemviews, kjobwidgets, ktextwidgets, kwayland, kxmlgui, kpty, solid)
- Add Qt6 futex support patch
- Add relibc patches: P3 strtold, P3 ld-so search path, P5 DRM ioctl removal
- Add base P4 pcid config scheme patch
- Update driver-manager hotplug/config, PCI config in redox-driver-sys
- Update greeter compositor and KDE session scripts
- Update AGENTS.md with zero-tolerance stubs policy and project knowledge

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.
