Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2c45744995 Implement homeblocks_sig_check(): the drive signature check (Phase 8)
Real, complete verification logic -- not yet wired to any write path.
homeblocks_sig_check(dev, sig_start_fblock, out_sig) reads the 4
consecutive 1KB blkio forth-blocks the 4KB header spans, verifies
magic -> version -> CRC-64 in order, returns HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_OK/_BLANK/
_BAD_VERSION/_BAD_CRC/_READ_ERROR. Reuses block_subsystem.c's existing
CRC-64/ISO (compute_crc64, previously static/file-local, now exposed
via block_subsystem.h) rather than a second CRC implementation --
same algorithm already proven via per-block checksums. Takes the
header's starting block as a plain parameter rather than resolving it
internally: verifies a signature given a location, finding that
location (GPT-partition-relative) stays the caller's job.

Verified against the actual shipped code, not a reimplementation: a
standalone host test links the real homeblocks_sig.c against a fake
in-memory blkio_dev and exercises all four outcomes -- blank media,
a correctly-minted header (round-trips drive_uuid/minted_time_ns), a
flipped CRC, an unrecognized version. All four pass. A full
QEMU-hotplug live test isn't proportionate yet since nothing calls
this function from the live kernel path -- wiring it into the attach
path is the next punch-list item. Clean zero-warning compile and
clean boot on all three architectures confirms no build/link
regression from exposing compute_crc64 and adding the new source
file to every kernel build.

include/starkernel/

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.
