The reorg moved user binaries under /system (init -> /system/services/init,
drivers -> /system/drivers/<name>, vfs-test -> /system/services/vfs/vfs-test), but
many comments and log strings still named the old /sbin/ home. Retarget them all:
kernel/loader/test comments and the two boot log lines, plus vision.md and the
driver-model.md proposed tree (also dropped the stale `d` suffixes and rt->runtime
there). The initial-ramdisk spawn log no longer fakes a /sbin/ prefix, since those
binaries live in different homes (services vs drivers).
Left the FSH design doc's /sbin and /lib rows alone — whether /sbin stays a
directory at all is a design call for its owner, not a stale-comment fix.
The `system` module (formerly `danos`) had become a grab-bag: it held the
loader<->kernel handoff *and* the kernel<->user ABI *and* the device wire types, in
one module three different audiences imported. Usage proved the seam — the
bootloader never touched the syscall/device ABI, and user space never touched the
boot handoff — so split it by audience, one module per contract:
system/boot-handoff.zig loader <-> kernel: BootInformation, Framebuffer,
MemoryMap, the VM layout + physicalToVirtual, kernel_abi
system/abi.zig kernel <-> user, core: SystemCall, mmap prot flags,
page_size, notify_badge_bit, ServiceId
system/devices/device-abi.zig kernel <-> user, devices: DeviceDescriptor,
DeviceClass, ResourceDescriptor, ResourceKind, ...
device-abi is the devices sub-project's public interface, exposed as its own module
the way vfs exposes vfs-protocol — importable by user space, unlike the
kernel-internal device model it also feeds. That collapses a real duplication:
DeviceClass and ResourceKind were defined twice (device-model.zig and the contract,
kept "in sync by hand"); device-model now re-exports them from device-abi, so the
enum a driver matches on and the one the kernel classifies with are one type.
Each import now declares which contract it speaks: the bootloader imports only
boot-handoff; a driver only abi + device-abi (via the runtime); the kernel all
three. This also retires the `system` / `runtime.system` name overlap. page_size
lands in abi (it's part of the mmap contract user space aligns to); the bootloader
keeps its own local 4 KiB constant so it depends on nothing but the handoff.
All 21 importers rewired, docs updated to keep /system mapping to source. Build,
host tests, and the QEMU suite (36/36) all green.
The shared kernel<->user ABI contract (BootInformation, the SystemCall numbers,
DeviceDescriptor, page_size, ...) is now the `system` module at
system/system.zig, following the convention that a directory's root file takes
the directory's name.
One overlap to note: the runtime's syscall wrappers are already `runtime.system`,
so the single file that uses both the contract and those wrappers
(library/runtime/heap.zig) aliases the wrappers locally as `system_calls`. The
two are distinct (top-level `system` vs `runtime.system`); everywhere else the
contract is just `system`.
Also: the QEMU run's serial capture now lands in the FHS log location,
zig-out/var/log/system/serial0-<timestamp>.log — a stand-in for the kernel's own
logging system, which will eventually write there itself.
Suite 35/35 plus host tests green.
`zig build` now installs into a FHS-shaped zig-out that *is* the danos filesystem
and the boot volume — no more zig-out/bin or a separate esp/:
zig-out/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi (firmware entry; UEFI fixes this path)
zig-out/boot/initial-ramdisk.img
zig-out/system/kernel (the kernel binary)
zig-out/system/services/init vfs
zig-out/system/drivers/hpet bus
Binaries land at their addressed, leaf-collapsed paths per the sub-project
resolution rule (system/services/init/init.zig -> system/services/init); vfs, hpet,
and bus are installed to their FHS homes too, so the image is complete even though
at boot they arrive inside the initial-ramdisk.
The bootloader (boot/efi.zig) now loads each artifact from its FHS path
(system\kernel, system\services\init, boot\initial-ramdisk.img); run-x86-64 mounts
zig-out directly; the QEMU test harness assembles its ESP from the FHS zig-out.
Also renames system/kernel/main.zig -> kernel.zig so the kernel follows the
name/name.zig convention (kernel/ = ring-0 code, services/ = ring-3 OS services).
Documents the resolution rule in the repository-layout section (README + coding
standard). Suite 35/35 plus host tests green.
