Red Bear OS b5f84b44df acpid/acpi-rs: _REG opregion connect + LPIT parse fix + thermal active + PM timer + HW-reduced + GPE dispatch
acpi-rs (vendored fork):
- _REG opregion connect (ACPICA evrgnini.c): run \_SB._REG(space, 1)
  per installed handler after \_INI — firmware gates EC access behind
  this. Device-level _REG for each device holding an OpRegion of an
  installed space. Fills the last big TODO in initialize_namespace.
- RegionSpace: add From<RegionSpace> for u8 (region-space ID for _REG).

acpid:
- LPIT parser BUG FIX: GAS (Generic Address Structure) is 12 bytes
  (4-byte header + 8-byte address); the parser previously read
  entry_trigger/residency/latency/counter_frequency 4 bytes early and
  required length>=48 instead of 56. Fixed offsets, added
  entry_trigger_space_id, and mwait_hint()/best_mwait_hint() for the
  FFH MWAIT hint. Tests rewritten with correct 56-byte layout.
- Thermal active cooling: /scheme/acpi/thermal/<zone>/active evaluates
  _AC0.._AC9 and returns defined trip points (tenths of K).
- ACPI PM timer: pm_timer_read() from FADT pm_timer_block;
  /scheme/acpi/pmtimer endpoint (3.579545 MHz).
- HW-reduced ACPI: Fadt::is_hardware_reduced() (FADT bit 20); skip
  PM1/GPE setup on such platforms.
- General GPE dispatch: enabled_active_gpes() + \_GPE._Lxx/_Exx method
  evaluation (evgpe.c acpi_ev_gpe_detect).

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.
