The AML interpreter now handles the Notify opcode (0x86, previously
unhandled): it resolves the target device, evaluates the code, and
records the pair in a bounded per-evaluate queue the caller drains with
takeNotifications. A host unit test with hand-encoded AML — a method that
issues Notify(DEV_, 0x80) — proves the device and code come back; aml.zig
joins the zig build test loop so the interpreter is covered on the host.
The acpi service's SCI handler now services general-purpose events too:
for each set-and-enabled GPE bit it evaluates the \_GPE._Lxx (level) or
_Exx (edge) handler method, drains the Notify queue that produced, and
publishes a domain event per notified device — PNP0C0A battery, ACPI0003
AC, PNP0C0D lid, else generic notify — then clears the status bit and
acks. The embedded controller's _Qxx queries are out of scope (hardware
track). QEMU raises no GPEs on this config, so the QEMU suite is the
regression net (the power button still works with GPE servicing in the
path); correctness is the unit test. Suite 59/59.
Turn acpi-ids.zig's flat name table into a HardwareId enum modeled on
ps2-library's Port: one entry() switch holds the registry (variant ->
_HID string + human-readable name), with hid(), description(), and
fromHid() methods. The free description(hid) lookup the kernel's
device-tree dump uses survives, implemented over the enum, and a new
test round-trips every variant through fromHid.
Callers now name the device instead of quoting its id:
- ps2-library's DeviceType.hid() and ps2-bus's descriptor lookups use
HardwareId.ps2_keyboard / .ps2_mouse.
- device-manager's driverFor parses the HID once with fromHid and
switches on named values.
- acpi.zig's isPciRootNode carried the same ids twice, as strings and
as packed-EISA integers (0x030AD041/0x080AD041); both branches now
decode to the string form and answer through one isPciRootHid helper
using .pci_bus / .pci_express_root_bridge.
- build.zig threads the acpi-ids module (previously kernel-only) into
every user binary, like xkeyboard-config.
Add an AttachStatus enum to ps2-library.zig for AttachReply.status,
distinguishing the three failure causes handleAttach previously
collapsed into a bare -1: invalid_request (message too short),
missing_endpoint (no capability passed), and no_such_device (no port
identified the requested device type). The keyboard and mouse drivers
check against AttachStatus.ok rather than a literal 0.
Replace the mouse driver's synthetic stream with the real path, the
way the keyboard was wired:
- The auxiliary port's IRQ12 is enumerated on the mouse's own ACPI
node (PNP0F13), and the kernel only lets a device's claimer bind or
ack its IRQs — so ps2-bus now claims that node alongside the
controller whenever port 2 carries a device, binds IRQ12 to its one
endpoint, and re-arms whichever line the notification's badge names.
The forwarding loop already routed auxiliary bytes by status bit 5.
- mouse-packet.zig (new, pure, host-tested): three-byte stream-mode
packet assembly — bit-3 sync with resynchronization, ACK/BAT bytes
dropped at packet start, nine-bit two's-complement movement,
overflow packets discarded, and PS/2 positive-Y-up converted to the
screen convention (positive down).
- mouse.zig mirrors the keyboard driver: no hardware claim, attaches
to the bus as its mouse, and publishes button_down/button_up per
changed button plus motion events with the pressed-button mask.
Verified end to end in QEMU via monitor mouse_move/mouse_button:
motion round-trips in screen coordinates, buttons transition with the
right mask, and keyboard events keep flowing alongside. The follow-up
is the IntelliMouse magic-knock for a scroll wheel (four-byte packets)
and scroll events.
Replace the keyboard driver's synthetic stream with the real path:
- ps2-bus binds IRQ1 (interrupt bits set only after the bind), drains
port 0x60 on each interrupt, and forwards every byte to the attached
child driver over async ipc_send, routed by the status register's
auxiliary-output bit. Children attach via the new well-known ps2_bus
service, handing over their endpoint as a capability.
- scancode.zig (new, pure, host-tested): scancode set 2 -> USB HID
usage decoding (F0/E0/E1 prefix state machine) plus keyboard state —
pressed-key bitmap, typematic-repeat classification, modifier and
caps-lock tracking.
- keyboard.zig decodes the forwarded stream and publishes real
key_down/key_press/key_up events, filling key_press characters via
xkeyboard-config (layout from argv[2], default us) and synthesizing
ASCII control characters for Enter/Tab/Backspace/Escape.
- protocol.zig names the full HID usage set in Keycode; build.zig
threads the xkeyboard-config module into user binaries.
Verified end to end in QEMU via monitor sendkey: shift, caps lock,
and control-character synthesis all decode correctly. The mouse
driver still publishes its synthetic stream; attaching it to the
bus the same way is the follow-up.
