Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3b085dd875 Artemis Milestone 2h: blkio_usb.c backend -- USB thumb drive is now a real block device
Wires a hot-plugged USB Mass Storage device into the block subsystem's
unified LBN chain. blkio_usb.c/blkio_usb.h mirror virtio_blk.c/
virtio_blk.h's established shape exactly (singleton state, blkio_vtable_t,
a blkio_usb_open_msc() "find" function playing virtio_blk_find_artemis()'s
role): read() translates a Forth block into a SCSI LBA/count pair and
calls xhci_bot_read_block() + xhci_bot_wait_for_idle(); write() returns
BLKIO_ENOSUP (no SCSI WRITE(10) exists yet, and blk_format_or_load_disk()
never writes at attach time, so read-only is sufficient -- confirmed by
reading that function first, not assumed). Refuses (-2) if the reported
SCSI block size doesn't evenly divide the 1024-byte Forth block size.

Connect-time wiring reuses the bot_msc_attach_pending/consume-in-
sk_repl_idle() shape the prior increment's temp probe already validated,
now made permanent: SET_CONFIGURATION sets the flag, sk_repl_idle()
(strictly after its own xhci_poll_events() call returns) calls
blkio_usb_open_msc() then blk_subsys_attach_device().

Verified live via hot-attach: full chain from USB connect through
'blkio_usb: MSC device ready' to 'blk: disk 'StarForth Volume' v2 LBN
26074..75184 (49111 user blocks)' -- real attachment, disk image confirmed
byte-for-byte untouched after. Chased a real debugging detour along the
way: the attach initially appeared silent (no blk: log line) -- traced to
LOG_INFO filtering at the default LOG_WARN boot level, not a functional
bug (settled via a temporary log-level bump, reverted after capture; also
found and reported, but did not fix, a pre-existing unrelated
Makefile.starkernel bug where --log-level=info via KERNEL_ARGS breaks
printf parsing). All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md
Section X 2h updated -- only hot-detach remains for 2h.

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
