//! /sbin/init — the first user-space program, PID 1. Built as its own //! freestanding binary (see build.zig), shipped on the boot volume at sbin/init, //! loaded by the bootloader, and started in ring 3 as a scheduled process by the //! kernel (system/kernel/process.zig). It links against the shared user runtime //! library `runtime` and talks to the kernel only through `runtime`'s system_call wrappers. //! //! Today it proves the C-convention heap works, then settles into a heartbeat: //! it prints a line and sleeps, forever — enough to show the system reaches user //! space and stays alive with a real process scheduled alongside the kernel's //! idle loop. It grows into the real init (service supervision) once there are //! other user programs to supervise. const runtime = @import("runtime"); pub fn main() void { // Prove the heap end to end: allocate through the runtime allocator (which // mmaps pages from the kernel and carves them with the free list), write into // that heap buffer (exercising the widened debug_write bounds check), and // free it.
