On the LG Gram 2025 (Core Ultra 7 255H, Arrow Lake-H) the firmware
exposes ACPI processor objects under \_PR.CPU0..\_PR.CPU15 along
with full _PSS, _PSD, _CST, and _CPC objects. The HWP-aware
cpufreqd (Phase G.2) reads these to discover the P-state range
and the HWP activity window. Before this commit acpid exposed
nothing at /scheme/acpi/processor — cpufreqd was falling back
to its hardcoded 4-state table (2400/2000/1600/1200 kHz) on every
system including Arrow Lake.
This commit adds:
1. AcpiContext::cpu_names() — walks the symbol cache and returns
direct child names of \_PR whose serialized form is a Processor
object. Matches on the \_PR.<name> prefix (no further dots) to
avoid returning sub-objects like \_PR.CPU0._PSS.
2. HandleKind::Processor variant for the /scheme/acpi/processor/
directory and HandleKind::ProcFile for the per-CPU files. Adds
the ProcFileKind enum (Pss, Psd, Cst, Cpc) so the scheme can
route each file to its own data source.
3. kopenat() route for /scheme/acpi/processor/<cpu>/<file>
where <file> ∈ {pss, psd, cst, cpc}. Path-component match
extended to 4 elements (was 3); cpu_id parsed as u32.
4. getdents() entry for HandleKind::Processor using
self.ctx.cpu_names() — matches the same pattern as Thermal
and Power. getdents() also covers ProcFile and DmiDir (no
children; reads/writes go through kread/kwriteoff).
5. kread() entry for HandleKind::ProcFile returns a placeholder
"ACPI processor data not yet populated" line so consumers
(cpufreqd, redbear-power) can detect the path is present and
report "no data" instead of getting ENOENT. The full AML-to-
text conversion for _PSS / _PSD / _CST / _CPC is a follow-up
that walks the AML namespace and emits the canonical cpufreq
text format ("freq power latency control").
6. kread() also covers HandleKind::Processor and HandleKind::DmiDir
with EISDIR — they are directory types, not file types.
The acpid version remains at 0.1.0 — the policy in AGENTS.md
("In-house crate versioning") classifies local/sources/base/ as
an Upstream Redox fork and keeps upstream versioning. Phase G.6
adds infrastructure only, not a version bump.

present and read returns the placeholder line.
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

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.
