There was an attempt... (AI)

Provides a reproducible Debian-based build environment with:
- Clang + LLD for cross-compilation to i386-elf targets
- GRUB 2 tools (grub-pc-bin, xorriso, mtools) for bootable
  ISO and floppy image generation
- QEMU (i386) for integration test execution
- CMake + Ninja for the build system

The Dockerfile includes a self-test that verifies Clang + lld can
produce a valid ELF 32-bit i386 binary before the image is accepted.

-# CPIO Initial Ramdisk
-
-## Overview
-
-The initial ramdisk (initrd) provides files to the kernel at boot time before
-any filesystem drivers are available. It is a CPIO archive in SVR4/newc format,
-loaded by GRUB as a Multiboot2 module.
-
-## Build Process
-
-During the build, the script `scripts/gen_initrd.sh` packs all files from the
-`apps/` directory into a CPIO archive:
-
-```
-apps/
-├── README          (placeholder)
-├── hello-world     (future: flat binary)
-└── sh              (future: shell binary)
-```
-
-The archive is placed at `build/isodir/boot/initrd.cpio` and included in the
-ISO image. GRUB loads it as a module via:
-
-```
-module2 /boot/initrd.cpio
-```
-
-## CPIO Format
-
-The newc (SVR4) CPIO format uses 110-byte headers with hex ASCII fields:
-
-```
-Offset  Size  Field
-0       6     Magic ("070701")
-6       8     Inode
-14      8     Mode
-22      8     UID
-30      8     GID
-38      8     Nlink
-46      8     Mtime
-54      8     Filesize
-62      8     Devmajor
-70      8     Devminor
-78      8     Rdevmajor
-86      8     Rdevminor
-94      8     Namesize
-102     8     Check
-```
-
-After the header: filename (namesize bytes, padded to 4-byte boundary),
-then file data (filesize bytes, padded to 4-byte boundary). The archive
-ends with a `TRAILER!!!` entry.
-
-## Kernel Interface
-
-The kernel finds the initrd by scanning Multiboot2 boot information for
-`MULTIBOOT_TAG_TYPE_MODULE` (type 3). The module's physical memory range
-is identity-mapped, so it can be read directly.
-
-```c
-#include "cpio.h"
-
-// Find a file
-cpio_entry_t entry;
-if (cpio_find("hello-world", &entry) == 0) {
-    // entry.data = pointer to file contents
-    // entry.datasize = file size
-}
-
-// Iterate all files
-uint32_t offset = 0;
-while (cpio_next(&offset, &entry) == 0) {
-    // entry.name, entry.data, entry.datasize
-}
-```

-# Fork System Call
-
-## Overview
-
-The `fork()` system call duplicates the calling process, creating a new child
-process with an independent copy of the parent's address space.
-
-## System Call Interface
-
-- **Number**: `SYS_FORK` (3)
-- **Arguments**: None
-- **Returns**: Child PID in the parent, 0 in the child, -1 on error
-
-## Implementation
-
-### Address Space Cloning
-
-`paging_clone_directory_from(src_pd_phys)` performs a deep copy of a process's
-page directory:
-
-1. **Kernel-space entries** (no `PAGE_USER` flag): shared directly between
-   parent and child. Both processes see the same kernel mappings.
-
-2. **User-space entries** (`PAGE_USER` flag set): fully deep-copied. For each
-   user-space page directory entry:
-   - A new page table is allocated
-   - Each present user page has a new physical page allocated and the content
-     copied byte-for-byte
-   - This ensures parent and child have completely independent memory
-
-### Register State
-
-The child receives a copy of the parent's register state at the time of the
-`INT 0x80` syscall, with `EAX` set to 0. This means the child resumes execution
-at the instruction immediately following the `INT 0x80` that triggered fork.
-
-### Process Exit and Waitpid
-
-`process_exit()` was refactored to support multi-process scenarios:
-
-- When a process exits, it scans for any process blocked on `waitpid()` for
-  its PID and unblocks it, setting the waiter's saved `EAX` to the exit code.
-- If another process is ready, `process_switch_to_user()` is called to
-  directly context-switch via an assembly stub that loads the full register
-  set and performs `iret`.
-- If no processes remain, the system halts.
-
-`sys_waitpid()` supports blocking:
-
-- If the child is already a zombie, it reaps immediately
-- Otherwise, the caller is marked `PROCESS_BLOCKED` and the scheduler is
-  invoked to switch to another process
-- When the child exits, the parent is unblocked with the exit code
-
-### Assembly Support
-
-`process_switch_to_user` in `interrupts.S` loads a full `registers_t` struct
-and performs `iret` to enter user mode. This is used when `process_exit()`
-needs to context-switch outside the normal ISR return path.
-
-## Syscall Flow
-
-```
-User: INT 0x80 (EAX=SYS_FORK)
-  → ISR stub pushes registers
-  → isr_handler → syscall_handler → sys_fork(regs)
-    → process_fork(regs)
-      → Clone page directory with deep user-page copy
-      → Copy current interrupt frame to child (EAX=0)
-      → Return child PID to parent (via EAX)
-  → ISR stub pops registers, iret
-  → Parent continues with EAX=child_pid
-  → [Timer interrupt] → scheduler picks child
-  → Child starts with EAX=0
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-The `fork-test` application validates fork by:
-1. Calling `SYS_FORK`
-2. Parent prints "Parent" and calls `SYS_WAITPID`
-3. Child prints "Child" and exits with code 7
-4. Parent reaps child, prints "Reaped", exits with code 0

-# Interrupt Subsystem
-
-## Overview
-
-The interrupt subsystem handles both CPU exceptions (faults, traps, aborts) and hardware interrupts (IRQs) from external devices. It consists of three cooperating components:
-
-1. **IDT (Interrupt Descriptor Table)** — Maps interrupt vectors 0–255 to handler entry points.
-2. **ISR (Interrupt Service Routines)** — Assembly stubs and a C dispatcher that routes interrupts.
-3. **PIC (Programmable Interrupt Controller)** — Manages the 8259A PIC chips that multiplex hardware IRQs onto CPU interrupt lines.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Interrupt Vector Layout
-
-| Vector Range | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| 0–31 | CPU exceptions (Division by Zero, Page Fault, GPF, etc.) |
-| 32–47 | Hardware IRQs (remapped from default 0–15) |
-| 48–255 | Available for software interrupts / future use |
-
-### Flow of an Interrupt
-
-1. CPU or device raises an interrupt.
-2. CPU looks up the vector in the IDT and jumps to the assembly stub.
-3. The stub pushes a dummy error code (if the CPU didn't push one), the interrupt number, and all general-purpose registers onto the stack.
-4. The stub loads the kernel data segment (0x10) and calls `isr_handler()` in C.
-5. For hardware interrupts (vectors 32–47), `isr_handler` sends an End-of-Interrupt (EOI) to the PIC.
-6. For CPU exceptions (vectors 0–31), the handler prints the exception name and halts.
-7. On return, the stub restores all registers and executes `iret`.
-
-### PIC Remapping
-
-The 8259A PIC ships with IRQ 0–7 mapped to vectors 8–15, which collide with CPU exceptions. During initialization, we remap:
-
-- **Master PIC** (IRQ 0–7) → vectors 32–39
-- **Slave PIC** (IRQ 8–15) → vectors 40–47
-
-The PIC is initialized in cascade mode with ICW4 (8086 mode). Original IRQ masks are saved and restored after remapping.
-
-## Key Files

-
-## Register Save Frame
-
-When an interrupt fires, the following is pushed onto the stack (from high to low address):
-
-```
-ss, useresp         (only on privilege change)
-eflags
-cs, eip             (pushed by CPU)

-# Kernel Memory Allocator (kmalloc)
-
-## Overview
-
-The kernel memory allocator provides `kmalloc()` and `kfree()` for dynamic memory allocation within the kernel. It uses the paging subsystem to obtain physical memory on demand.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Free-List Allocator
-
-The allocator maintains a singly-linked free list of available memory blocks, ordered by address. Each block carries an inline header:
-
-```c
-typedef struct block_header {
-    uint32_t size;              // Usable bytes (excludes header)
-    uint32_t magic;             // 0xCAFEBABE for integrity checking
-    struct block_header *next;  // Next free block (free list only)
-    uint8_t is_free;            // 1 = free, 0 = allocated
-} block_header_t;
-```
-
-### Allocation Strategy
-
-1. **First-fit search:** Walk the free list for the first block with `size >= requested`.
-2. **Block splitting:** If the found block is significantly larger than needed, it is split into the allocated portion and a new free block.
-3. **Page expansion:** If no suitable block exists, a new 4 KiB page is obtained from `paging_alloc_page()`.
-
-All allocations are 8-byte aligned. Minimum block size is 16 bytes to limit fragmentation.
-
-### Deallocation
-
-1. The block header is located by subtracting `sizeof(block_header_t)` from the user pointer.
-2. The block's magic number is verified to detect corruption.
-3. The block is inserted back into the free list in address order.
-4. **Coalescing:** Adjacent free blocks are merged to reduce fragmentation.
-
-### Integrity Checks
-
-- A magic value (`0xCAFEBABE`) in each block header detects heap corruption.
-- Double-free is detected by checking the `is_free` flag.
-
-## API
-
-```c
-void  init_kmalloc(void);
-void *kmalloc(size_t size);
-void  kfree(void *ptr);
-void *kcalloc(size_t count, size_t size);
-```
-
-## Key Files
-
-- `src/kmalloc.c` / `src/kmalloc.h` — Allocator implementation.
-- `src/string.c` — Freestanding `memset`, `memcpy`, `strlen`, etc.
-- `src/paging.c` — Provides physical page backing.
-
-## Limitations
-
-- Maximum single allocation is ~4080 bytes (one page minus header).
-- No multi-page allocations for large objects.
-- Free virtual addresses are not reused after `paging_free_page()`.

-# Paging Subsystem
-
-## Overview
-
-The paging subsystem manages virtual memory using the x86 two-level paging scheme (no PAE). It provides identity mapping for all physical memory and a kernel heap region for dynamic virtual page allocation.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Page Table Structure
-
-x86 32-bit paging uses two levels:
-
-| Level | Entries | Each Entry Maps | Total Coverage |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Page Directory | 1024 | 4 MiB (one page table) | 4 GiB |
-| Page Table | 1024 | 4 KiB (one page) | 4 MiB |
-
-Each entry is a 32-bit value containing a 20-bit physical page frame number and 12 bits of flags.
-
-### Identity Mapping
-
-During initialization, all detected physical memory is identity-mapped (virtual address = physical address). This is done in two phases:
-
-1. **Static mapping (first 16 MiB):** Four page tables are statically allocated in BSS. This avoids a chicken-and-egg problem since the PMM bitmap itself resides in this region.
-
-2. **Dynamic mapping (above 16 MiB):** Additional page tables are allocated from the PMM *before* paging is enabled (so physical addresses are still directly accessible). These cover all remaining detected physical memory.
-
-### Kernel Heap
-
-The kernel heap region occupies virtual addresses `0xD0000000` through `0xF0000000` (768 MiB).
-
-When `paging_alloc_page()` is called:
-1. A physical page is allocated from the PMM.
-2. A page table entry is created mapping the next free virtual address to the physical page.
-3. The virtual address is returned.
-
-When `paging_free_page()` is called:
-1. The physical address is looked up via the page table entry.
-2. The virtual mapping is removed.
-3. The physical page is returned to the PMM.
-
-### TLB Management
-
-- Single-page invalidations use `invlpg`.
-- Full TLB flushes use CR3 reload.
-
-## API
-
-```c
-void init_paging(void);
-void paging_map_page(uint32_t vaddr, uint32_t paddr, uint32_t flags);
-void paging_unmap_page(uint32_t vaddr);
-void *paging_alloc_page(void);
-void paging_free_page(void *vaddr);
-uint32_t paging_get_physical(uint32_t vaddr);
-```
-
-### Flags
-
-| Flag | Value | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `PAGE_PRESENT` | 0x001 | Page is present in memory |
-| `PAGE_WRITE` | 0x002 | Page is writable |
-| `PAGE_USER` | 0x004 | Page is user-accessible (ring 3) |
-
-## Key Files
-
-- `src/paging.c` / `src/paging.h` — Implementation and API.
-- `src/pmm.c` / `src/pmm.h` — Physical page allocation backing.
-
-## Design Decisions
-
-- **No higher-half kernel yet:** The kernel runs at its physical load address (1 MiB) with identity mapping. Higher-half mapping (0xC0000000) can be added later without changing the paging API.
-- **Static + dynamic page tables:** The first 16 MiB uses BSS-allocated tables to bootstrap, while memory above 16 MiB uses PMM-allocated tables. This keeps BSS usage bounded at ~16 KiB regardless of total RAM.
-- **Sequential heap allocation:** The heap grows upward linearly. No free-list reuse of freed virtual addresses is implemented yet.

-# Physical Memory Manager (PMM)
-
-## Overview
-
-The PMM manages physical page frames using a bitmap allocator. It tracks which 4 KiB pages of physical RAM are free or in use, and supports allocating pages from different memory zones.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Bitmap Allocator
-
-Each bit in a global bitmap corresponds to one 4 KiB physical page frame:
-- **Bit = 1** → page is in use (allocated or reserved)
-- **Bit = 0** → page is free
-
-The bitmap covers the entire 32-bit physical address space (up to 4 GiB), requiring 128 KiB of storage in BSS.
-
-### Memory Zones
-
-The allocator supports zone-based allocation to satisfy constraints from different subsystems:
-
-| Zone | Range | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `PMM_ZONE_DMA` | 0 – 16 MiB | ISA DMA-compatible memory |
-| `PMM_ZONE_NORMAL` | 16 MiB – 4 GiB | General-purpose allocation |
-
-When `PMM_ZONE_NORMAL` is requested but no pages are available above 16 MiB (e.g., on systems with less than 16 MiB of RAM), the allocator falls back to `PMM_ZONE_DMA`.
-
-Page 0 (address 0x00000000) is always marked as used to prevent returning NULL as a valid physical address.
-
-### Initialization
-
-1. The entire bitmap is initialized to "all used" (0xFFFFFFFF).
-2. The Multiboot2 memory map is parsed to discover available RAM regions.
-3. Available regions are marked as free in the bitmap.
-4. The kernel's own memory (between `_kernel_start` and `_kernel_end` linker symbols) is re-marked as used.
-5. The Multiboot2 info structure itself is marked as used.
-
-### Linker Symbols
-
-The linker script exports `_kernel_start` and `_kernel_end` symbols so the PMM knows which physical pages the kernel occupies and must not allocate.
-
-## API
-
-```c
-void init_pmm(uint32_t multiboot_addr);
-phys_addr_t pmm_alloc_page(pmm_zone_t zone);
-void pmm_free_page(phys_addr_t addr);
-```
-
-- `init_pmm` — Parse Multiboot2 info and build the free-page bitmap.
-- `pmm_alloc_page` — Allocate a single 4 KiB page from the specified zone. Returns 0 on OOM.
-- `pmm_free_page` — Return a page to the free pool.
-
-## Key Files
-
-- `src/pmm.c` / `src/pmm.h` — Allocator implementation and zone definitions.
-- `src/linker.ld` — Exports `_kernel_start` / `_kernel_end`.
-
-## Limitations
-
-- First-fit allocation (linear scan) — O(n) per allocation.
-- No per-zone free counts or statistics yet.
-- Does not handle memory hot-plug or ACPI reclaim regions.

-# Process Subsystem
-
-## Overview
-
-The process subsystem enables user-mode (Ring 3) process execution on ClaudeOS.
-It provides process creation, context switching via the timer interrupt, and
-system calls via `INT 0x80`.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Ring Transition
-
-x86 protected mode uses privilege rings 0–3. The kernel runs in Ring 0 (full
-hardware access) and user processes run in Ring 3 (restricted). The GDT
-defines segment descriptors for both:
-
-| GDT Entry | Selector | Purpose         | DPL |
-|-----------|----------|-----------------|-----|
-| 0         | 0x00     | Null            | –   |
-| 1         | 0x08     | Kernel Code     | 0   |
-| 2         | 0x10     | Kernel Data     | 0   |
-| 3         | 0x18     | User Code       | 3   |
-| 4         | 0x20     | User Data       | 3   |
-| 5         | 0x28     | TSS             | 0   |
-
-User-mode selectors include RPL=3: code = 0x1B, data = 0x23.
-
-### Task State Segment (TSS)
-
-The TSS (`tss.c`) stores the kernel stack pointer (SS0:ESP0) used when the CPU
-transitions from Ring 3 to Ring 0 on an interrupt. Before running each process,
-the scheduler updates TSS.ESP0 to that process's kernel stack top.
-
-### Memory Layout
-
-Each process gets its own page directory, cloned from the kernel's:
-
-```
-0x00000000 – 0x07FFFFFF : Identity-mapped (kernel/device access)
-0x08048000 – ...         : User code (loaded from binary image)
-0xBFFF7000 – 0xBFFFF000 : User stack (2 pages, grows downward)
-0xD0000000 – 0xF0000000 : Kernel heap (shared across all processes)
-```
-
-### Process Control Block
-
-```c
-typedef struct process {
-    uint32_t pid;
-    process_state_t state;       // UNUSED, READY, RUNNING, BLOCKED, ZOMBIE
-    registers_t saved_regs;      // Full interrupt frame
-    uint32_t kernel_stack;       // Base of per-process kernel stack
-    uint32_t kernel_stack_top;   // TSS ESP0 value
-    uint32_t page_directory;     // Physical address of page directory
-    uint32_t user_stack;         // User stack virtual address
-    uint32_t entry_point;        // User code entry point
-    int32_t exit_code;           // Set on exit
-    uint32_t parent_pid;
-    char name[32];
-} process_t;
-```
-
-## Context Switching
-
-Context switching uses the interrupt frame directly:
-
-1. Timer IRQ (or `INT 0x80` for SYS_YIELD) fires
-2. CPU pushes SS/ESP/EFLAGS/CS/EIP onto the process's kernel stack
-3. ISR stub pushes the rest (pusha + DS) forming a `registers_t`
-4. `schedule_tick()` is called with a pointer to these registers
-5. Current process's registers are saved into its PCB
-6. Next READY process's saved registers are written over the interrupt frame
-7. TSS.ESP0 is updated, CR3 is switched to the new page directory
-8. ISR stub restores the (now different) registers and `iret` enters the new
-   process in user mode
-
-This avoids separate context-switch assembly — the existing ISR stub handles
-everything.
-
-## System Calls
-
-System calls use `INT 0x80` with the call number in EAX:
-
-| Number | Name        | Arguments                    |
-|--------|-------------|------------------------------|
-| 0      | SYS_EXIT    | EBX = exit code              |
-| 1      | SYS_WRITE   | EBX = fd, ECX = buf, EDX = len |
-| 2      | SYS_READ    | (not implemented)            |
-| 3      | SYS_FORK    | (returns child PID/0)        |
-| 4      | SYS_GETPID  | (returns PID in EAX)         |
-| 5      | SYS_YIELD   | (voluntary preemption)       |
-| 6      | SYS_WAITPID | EBX = child PID              |
-| 7      | SYS_EXEC    | (not implemented)            |
-
-The INT 0x80 IDT gate has DPL=3 (flags 0xEE) so user-mode code can invoke it.
-
-## Initial Process Entry
-
-`process_run_first()` performs the initial transition to user mode using an
-`iret` instruction that sets up Ring 3 segment selectors, the user stack
-pointer, and the entry point. This is a one-way transition — the function
-does not return.

-# Virtual Filesystem (VFS)
-
-## Overview
-
-The VFS provides a unified interface for file and directory operations across
-different filesystem implementations. Filesystem drivers register ops structs
-and are mounted at specific paths. Path resolution finds the longest-matching
-mount point and delegates to that filesystem.
-
-## Architecture
-
-```
- User/Kernel Code
-      │
-      ▼
-  vfs_open("/initrd/hello-world", 0)
-      │
-      ▼
-  VFS: find_mount("/initrd/hello-world")
-      │  → mount "/initrd", rel_path = "hello-world"
-      ▼
-  resolve_path → initrd_finddir("hello-world")
-      │
-      ▼
-  vfs_read(fd, buf, size)
-      │  → initrd_read(node, offset, size, buf)
-      ▼
-  Returns file data from CPIO archive
-```
-
-## Mount Points
-
-Filesystems are mounted at absolute paths. The VFS supports up to 16
-simultaneous mounts. Path resolution uses longest-prefix matching:
-
-```
-Mount: "/initrd"  → handles /initrd/*
-Mount: "/sys"     → handles /sys/*
-Mount: "/dev"     → handles /dev/*
-```
-
-## File Operations
-
-| Function | Description |
-|----------|-------------|
-| `vfs_open(path, flags)` | Open a file, returns fd |
-| `vfs_close(fd)` | Close a file descriptor |
-| `vfs_read(fd, buf, size)` | Read bytes, advances offset |
-| `vfs_write(fd, buf, size)` | Write bytes, advances offset |
-| `vfs_seek(fd, offset, whence)` | Seek within file |
-| `vfs_readdir(path, idx, out)` | Read directory entry |
-| `vfs_stat(path, out)` | Get file info |
-
-## Filesystem Driver Interface
-
-Each filesystem provides a `vfs_fs_ops_t` struct:
-
-```c
-typedef struct vfs_fs_ops {
-    int (*open)(vfs_node_t *node, uint32_t flags);
-    void (*close)(vfs_node_t *node);
-    int32_t (*read)(vfs_node_t *node, uint32_t offset, uint32_t size, void *buf);
-    int32_t (*write)(vfs_node_t *node, uint32_t offset, uint32_t size, const void *buf);
-    int (*readdir)(vfs_node_t *dir, uint32_t idx, vfs_dirent_t *out);
-    int (*finddir)(vfs_node_t *dir, const char *name, vfs_node_t *out);
-} vfs_fs_ops_t;
-```
-
-## Initrd Filesystem Driver
-
-The initrd filesystem (`initrd_fs.c`) provides read-only access to the CPIO
-ramdisk. It is automatically mounted at `/initrd` during boot. Files are
-accessed via zero-copy reads directly from the CPIO archive in memory.
-
-## Files
