The second micro driver: i2c_hid.c with everything but reading a
keyboard's input reports taken out. No ACPI -- AML cannot run on a dead
kernel -- so the live driver hands over what it found at boot
(i2c_hid_keyboards): the DesignWare controller, the address, the report
size, the AMD GPIO pin if there is one, and the parsed report descriptor.
No power commands, no reset, a read-only transfer.
usb_hid.c's report-protocol rewrite is split out as hid_boot_report(),
which does nothing but rewrite, and kernel/gmmos/hidkeys.c turns boot
reports into keys for this and the USB micro drivers to come.
GMMOS now probes every micro driver and polls all that answer.
Not run: QEMU has no DesignWare I2C, and the laptops at hand have PS/2
keyboards.

The PSOGM on the ASUS TUF A15 was a page fault in cprintf, from probe(),
in the touchpad driver's own success message. cprintf had no field widths:
"%04x" printed literally and consumed no argument, so the "%s" after it
was handed the product ID as a string pointer. "%lx" misprinted the same
way -- "0x4275838976x" for 0xFEDC2000 -- on the line before.
The driver's formats are fixed, and cprintf now steps over flags and
widths and takes l/ll/z as 64-bit, so a directive it does not render can
no longer shift every argument after it. Until now any %ld or %lu printed
the number followed by a stray letter.
The touchpad on/off entry in the boot menu has served its purpose and is
gone; the verbose step trace stays.

The touchpad driver crashed the ASUS TUF A15 at boot. Its thread runs the
firmware's AML -- _DSM, _PS0, _CRS -- through uACPI at -O0, on an 8 KB
kernel stack, and kernel stacks are one array: running off the end lands
in the next thread's stack, and the machine dies a moment later in some
other code. The thread now runs on a 64 KB stack of its own, through
SCFF's call_on_stack().
And a crashed laptop sat with its fans up until somebody held the power
button, since the other processors keep running. On an ordinary boot the
PSOGM now says it will power off, and does, after three minutes: SLP_TYP
from \_S5, read at boot, written straight to PM1 control with no AML, which
could sleep or wait on a lock a dead processor holds. A verbose boot keeps
the screen up for ever.

The ASUS TUF A15 freezes at the default resolution shortly after the
loader hands over -- screen dark, Caps Lock dead -- and it is the only
machine here with an I2C-HID touchpad, which the driver added in the same
release now probes at boot. "Touchpad driver: on/off" in the F8 menu
answers whether it is the cause on the machine itself, through a new
SCHBOOT_OFF_FLAGS byte the kernel checks before starting the driver.
A verbose boot now prints each step of the probe before taking it, so if it
is the cause, the last line on the screen says which step.
Also: S in the menu wrapped at five entries whatever the count.

A laptop's touchpad is on the chipset's I2C bus, found only through ACPI
(PNP0C50 / ACPI0C50), and SchOS had no I2C at all, so the touchpad of
every recent laptop did nothing.
kernel/acpi/i2c_hid.c drives the DesignWare I2C controller every x86
chipset uses (AMDI0010 on Ryzen) by polling, speaks HID over I2C to the
device the _DSM points at, and feeds the reports through the USB HID
parser. On AMD the interrupt pin's level is read every tick, so a report
is read exactly when one is waiting; elsewhere the input register is polled.
The touchpad is driven in mouse mode, which it starts in after a reset:
motion, clicks and taps become /dev/input/event1 like any mouse. The HID
parser now prefers a descriptor's relative pointer over an absolute one
for this, and takes descriptors from transports other than USB.
Untested on hardware: QEMU emulates no I2C touchpad.

- schinit, schinitd and vgpud build every message from pieces, one
write() each, so a job starting on another CPU landed mid-line:
"schinitd: starting vgpud: os.schos.resolvconfno virtio-gpu on this
machine". They now collect a line and write it at the newline;
resolvconf's verbose line is one write with its prefix.
- The ACPI SCI registers IRQ_QUIET. A desktop's SCI never fires, and the
poller took two seconds of silence for a misrouted line ("irq 9:
nothing has arrived on it") and called the handler every tick. A line
is only exempt while every handler on it is quiet.
- The loader claims each segment from where the last one's claim ended,
so two segments sharing a page no longer ask for it twice. When a
claim is still refused, it names the memory-map entries in the way.
- Stale divesymlink() declaration gone; the kernel.md struct table
re-measured (inode, buf and file pools grow from slabs now).

Sixty-five headers sat side by side in include/, so `#include "irq.h"`
said nothing about where irq.h was or what it belonged to, and errno.h,
stat.h and fcntl.h at the top shadowed the system's for any host tool
built with -I./include. They are in folders now -- arch/ core/ fs/
dev/ gfx/ net/ uapi/ (and ldls/ for the Linux driver layer) -- and
every include names the folder, as Linux's do: "core/proc.h".
Done mechanically and checked the hard way: the kernel built from this
tree disassembles identically to the one built from the tree before
it. The full image boots, and userland is the same set of programs.
Paths in docs and comments follow; docs/guides/layout.md has a table
of what is where, and tools/fix-includes.py rewrites old-style
includes from the folders in the tree, for code written before this.

The filesystem every other system can read: a USB stick, an SD card, the
EFI system partition. It is here first for the hardware report, which has
to leave a machine on something that can be read on another one.
mount -t vfat /dev/usb0p1 /mnt (msdos and fat work too; -o ro)
Written from Microsoft's specification, and matched to Linux vfat where
the specification leaves a choice: 8.3 names with the NT lowercase bits,
long-name entries otherwise, Linux's alias rule (REPORTS, then BIGNUM~1),
case-insensitive lookup, UTC times, the boot-sector dirty bit, every FAT
copy and FSInfo kept up to date. It uses its own sector cache over the
new blkdev_xfer, since a partition need not be a whole number of 4 KB
blocks, and every operation that changes something reaches the disk
before it returns. Inode numbers come from the entry position, or the
first cluster for a directory, plus a small table for entries that moved.
Around it:
- /dev lists every disk and partition the block layer found (major 8,
minor = block device), and raw reads and writes on them go by sector.
- The ESP and MBR FAT partitions are registered, typed so the root probe
passes over them. MBR entries with a bad status byte are skipped, so a
superfloppy's boot code is not read as a partition table.
- statfs, sync, fsync, umount (EBUSY while in use), shutdown, reboot and
the power button all know about FAT.
- create undoes and reports a failed ialloc or dirlink (ENOSPC, EINVAL,
EPERM) instead of panicking; fs_ops gains refuse_types and no_hardlinks.
- filewrite returns a short write instead of panicking on it.
- utimensat is implemented. As a stub returning 0 it made toybox touch
believe the file existed, so `touch newfile` created nothing on any
filesystem.
Tested in QEMU against mkfs.vfat images (FAT12 floppy, FAT16 on MBR,
FAT32 superfloppy and GPT ESP) by writing, renaming, deleting, filling to
ENOSPC and truncating there, then checking with fsck.fat -n and mtools on
the host: all clean, contents match.

"acpi: 0 PCI interrupts routed through _PRT" on an AMD board meant that
every PCIe bridge's devices are wired to the second I/O APIC, which is not
driven. It says so now, and that those devices need MSI.
"vga: framebuffer disagreement" on an NVIDIA card compared the GOP's
framebuffer against BAR0, a 16 MB register block big enough to pass for a
screen. The BAR that contains the framebuffer is preferred now.

The firmware's AML is now interpreted. uACPI 6.1.1 (MIT) is fetched by
ports/uacpi, checksum-verified, and compiled into the kernel unmodified,
the same way lwIP is. kernel/acpi/host.c is its host layer: memory,
mapping, port and PCI config I/O, time, mutexes and events that spin
before the scheduler exists, the SCI, and an "acpi" thread for the
work the SCI defers.
PCI interrupts go where the board says. pci_init() now routes every
device's INTx through the root bridge's _PRT before drivers bind. It
follows link devices' _CRS, uses a bridge's own _PRT where the namespace
has one, and swizzles through bridges that don't. Before this, INTx
waited on the 8259's line number, which is the wrong pin in APIC mode.
irq_register() takes a trigger mode rather than a level/low flag,
because q35's links and most SCIs are level, active-high. The MADT's
interrupt source overrides are now parsed, and are what places the SCI.
The power button syncs the filesystems and powers off. shutdown() and
reboot() go through the firmware's S5 and reset register first, and
only then fall back to the emulators' ports, which a real board does
not answer.
Tested under QEMU: q35 with MSI off routes xHCI to GSI 22,
level/active-high, and it takes real interrupts with nothing polled.
system_powerdown powers off q35 and i440fx (QEMU exits 0), and q35
with 4 CPUs boots from NVMe with USB hot-plug working alongside.
