Red Bear OS 9e5f915d42 netstack+drivers: TCP write_buf return, dhcpd iface arg, virtio DMA sync, ip fpath
- tcp/scheme/tcp.rs: write_buf now returns the actual bytes from
  send_slice() instead of buf.len(). Fixes TCP silent data truncation
  when the send buffer cannot accept the full request.
- netstack/scheme/ip.rs: fpath() uses .expect() with a message in place
  of .unwrap() for clearer diagnostics on buffer write failure.
- dhcpd/main.rs: parse the first non-flag positional argument as the
  interface name. Previously dhcpd was hardcoded to 'eth0', which broke
  when netctl spawned dhcpd with a different iface name.
- drivers/common/dma.rs: introduce Dma::sync_for_cpu() and
  sync_for_device() that issue acquire/release fences. Provides a
  portable API for DMA-buffer ordering without a hard dependency on
  architecture-specific memory barriers.
- drivers/net/virtio-netd/scheme.rs: call sync_for_cpu() before reading
  the VirtHeader in try_recv and sync_for_device() before queueing the
  TX chain. Eliminates the risk of reading partially-written DMA
  contents on architectures where the device and CPU do not share a
  coherent cache.

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.
