SchFS is a 64-bit format addressing 64 ZB. The stack under it was not,
and the lowest limit was three orders of magnitude below the one anybody
would have guessed:
ide.c panicked on any block >= FSSIZE -- 150000 blocks, 614 MB
ide.c computed the sector in an int, and addressed it with LBA28
bio.c took a 32-bit block number, capping any device at 16 TB
schfs refused blocks past 0xffffffff, mirroring the cache
The FSSIZE check is the one that mattered. FSSIZE describes the size of a
v1 filesystem *image*; it had no business bounding a physical device, and
it meant a disk larger than half a gigabyte panicked the kernel rather
than being read.
struct buf's blockno is uint64 now, and so is bread's. idestart computes
the sector in 64 bits and picks LBA48 when it does not fit in 28 -- per
request, so everything that fits stays on the LBA28 path every existing
image has been read through. The 48-bit registers are written high half
first, because each is a two-deep FIFO and the other order leaves the
drive addressing whatever the low bytes alone describe.
Verified with a 2 GB disk carrying a marker at 1 GiB -- block 262144,
well past the old panic at 150000. The guest reads it back:
"MARKER-PAST-THE-OLD-LIMIT". schfs-check passes including the round-trip;
bootcheck 108 [ok].
Two limits deliberately left, both noted rather than guessed at: raw
/dev/hdN access still goes through devsw's 32-bit offset, so a raw device
is addressable to 4 GB; and usb_storage computes a 32-bit LBA, which is
what SCSI READ(10) carries -- READ(16) is a different command, not a
wider variable.

Removes the "-unix" element and with it any trademark exposure to The
Open Group.
The split follows the ecosystem layout: SchOS is the system, and the
kernel has its own name. Kernel-identity strings are the only places
that take SchIFT -- uname(2) sysname, /proc/version, and the two licence
sentences that say "kernel" outright. That is what every Unix does here:
`uname -s` on Linux reports the kernel, not the distribution. Everything
a user reads as the product -- panic screen, boot menu, error prefixes,
docs, LICENSE, NOTICE -- is SchOS.
schunix.img is schos.img, the logo assets and the musl TLS patch are
renamed, and __SCHUNIX__ is __SCHOS__ (the define and the patch that
consumes it moved together).
Two things the rename broke, both found by the bootcheck suite:
- shmtest wrote "SCHUNIX-MMAP-OK" with a hardcoded length of 15 and
compared it back by hand-counted offsets (m[3]=='U', m[14]=='K').
The shorter marker left the write running two bytes past the literal
and the compare reading past the data, failing a file-backed mmap
that was working correctly. Now written and compared through one
constant with sizeof.
- bootcheck asserted a 31-byte file after appending to
"hello-from-schunix"; the shorter string makes it 29.
Both are the same mistake: a string literal whose length is written out
somewhere else. Full suite green -- base, Tty, Ps, Sock, Fb, Usb, Evdev.
An x86-64 operating system built from xv6, now largely rewritten: SMP,
a copy-on-write root filesystem (SchFS), PCI/USB/virtio drivers, a TTF
rasteriser, and a Linux-numbered syscall ABI.
No history before this point -- the tree was never under version control.
This commit exists so the rename that follows has something to undo to.
