StarKernel UEFI Loader
Loading...
RAW SERIAL UP

Deliverables:

  • PML4 → PDPT → PD → PT setup
  • CR3 switch
  • vmm_map() / vmm_unmap()
  • Self-test

Validation:

VMM initialized (mapped RAM, CR3 switched)
VMM self-test: mapped OK at 0xffff800000000000

M3: Interrupt Descriptor Table

Goal: CPU exceptions and IRQ handling

Deliverables:

  • 256-entry IDT
  • ISR stubs (asm)
  • Exception handlers (div-by-zero, page fault, etc.)
  • IRQ routing framework

Validation:

IDT installed.

M4: APIC Timer

Goal: Local APIC initialization and timer IRQs

Deliverables:

  • Local APIC enable
  • APIC timer configuration
  • Spurious interrupt vector

Validation:

APIC: init...
APIC enabled (SIVR=0xFF).
APIC: init done

M5: Timer Calibration

Goal: Accurate time measurement

Deliverables:

  • TSC frequency detection
  • HPET calibration (when available)
  • PM Timer fallback
  • Relative vs. absolute trust levels

Validation:

Timer: init...
Timer: trust=1 (0=NONE,1=REL,2=ABS), TSC=0 Hz
Timer: init done

M6: Kernel Heap

Goal: kmalloc() / kfree() working

Deliverables:

  • Heap initialization
  • Allocation tracking
  • Statistics

Validation:

Kernel heap initialized.
Heap statistics:
  Total bytes: 16777176
  Free  bytes: 16777176

Phase 2: VM Integration (M7)

M7: VM Parity Validation

Goal: StarForth VM boots with reproducible dictionary hash

Deliverables:

  • VMHostServices abstraction
  • VM arena allocation (5 MB)
  • FORTH-79 word registration (295 words)
  • Parity checkpoint logging
  • Heartbeat thread start

Validation:

VM: bootstrap parity...
[HAL][host] VMHostServices table registered
VM arena allocated: 0xffff900000000000 (5 MB)
Registering FORTH-79 Standard word set...
PARITY:M7.1a word_count=295 here=0x30 latest_id=294 hash=0x684bbf2fa1d96d55
PARITY:OK
VM: parity bootstrap complete
Starting heartbeat...
APIC Timer: started

Commit: 6f350bc — M7: StarForth VM integration with parity validation

Phase 3: Capsule Architecture (M7.1)

M7.1: Init Capsule System

Goal: Content-addressed, immutable init capsules for VM birth

Status: Design Complete (see M7.1.md)

Core Concepts:

Concept Description
DOMAIN Mama-only construction space — never visible to babies
PERSONALITY Baby-only identity — result of executing (p) INIT
(p) Production Truth-bearing capsules that birth VMs
(e) Experiment Mama-only workloads for DoE

Birth Protocol:

  1. Mama selects one production (p) capsule by content hash
  2. Mama validates eligibility (ACTIVE, PRODUCTION, not REVOKED)
  3. Mama allocates new VM
  4. INIT blocks copied to execution window (RAM blocks 0–2047)
  5. INIT blocks executed sequentially
  6. Execution window cleared
  7. VM begins life with PERSONALITY imprinted
  8. Mama logs PARITY:BIRTH vm_id=N capsule_id=X mode=p ...
  9. Mama increments capsule.birth_count

Deliverables:

  • CapsuleDesc struct (64 bytes, cache-aligned)
  • CapsuleDirHeader struct
  • xxHash64 implementation (freestanding)
  • capsule_validate() function
  • Birth protocol (PARITY:BIRTH logging)
  • DoE run logging (CapsuleRunRecord)
  • mkcapsule build tool

Key Design Decisions:

  • Content-addressed: capsule_id == content_hash
  • (p) Production vs (e) Experiment modes
  • One truth per VM — no shared/implicit base INITs
  • Mama holds all truths — (e) capsules never touch babies
  • Twins/variants are just VMs with same/similar capsules

Phase 4: Interactive Forth (M8)

M8: REPL + Interactive Forth

Goal: Type Forth at the kernel, get ok prompt

Deliverables:

  • Keyboard input (PS/2 or USB HID)
  • REPL loop integration
  • Line editing (backspace, minimal)
  • Word execution from console

Validation:

LithosAnanke v0.3.0
ok 1 2 + .
3 ok

Phase 5: Persistence (M9)

M9: Block Storage

Goal: Read/write blocks to disk

Deliverables:

  • AHCI driver (SATA)
  • Block device abstraction
  • BLOCK / BUFFER / UPDATE / FLUSH words
  • Persistent dictionary

Future Milestones

M10: Networking

  • VirtIO-net driver
  • TCP/IP stack (minimal)
  • DHCP client

M11: Process Model

  • Forth tasks
  • Scheduling
  • IPC

M12: Self-Hosting

  • Compile Forth on LithosAnanke
  • Edit/assemble/link cycle

Validation Commands

# Build
make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 STARFORTH_ENABLE_VM=1

# Run QEMU
make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 STARFORTH_ENABLE_VM=1 qemu

# Clean
make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 clean-kernel

Success Criteria

LithosAnanke is successful when:

  1. M7 Parity — VM dictionary hash reproducible across boots
  2. M7.1 Capsules — Birth protocol enforced, provenance logged
  3. M8 REPL — Interactive Forth at bare metal
  4. M9 Persistence — State survives reboot

The foundation is laid. The necessity is clear.
