A panic no longer ends in a picture. The report is drawn as before, and
then GMMOS runs under it: the real kernel stays dead -- the other
processors are halted, and nothing of it is called that locks, sleeps,
allocates or waits for an interrupt -- and GMMOS keeps its own clock
(the TSC), its own keyboard (micro drivers, polled), and the screen.
On the report: a live status line counting down the three-minute
power-off, which any key cancels, and the keys.
Space the last 300 lines of this boot's log as QR codes, a page per
symbol, numbered; + and - trade module size for capacity
L the log on screen, scrolled
T a terminal: why, log, grep, ps, cpus, pci, mem (page tables
walked first, so a bad address cannot fault), uptime, restart,
poweroff
R R restart; P P power off -- twice, so a stray key does neither
The first micro driver is PS/2, polled: kbd.c with everything but the
keys taken out. The probe asks the keyboard to echo, so a controller
with nothing behind it is not offered as one. Polling also sidesteps the
IRQ 1 polarity quirk, which is about interrupt routing.
A panic inside GMMOS (or a second one in the report) is reported and
then only blinks; it does not re-enter GMMOS.
Checked under QEMU: every screen; two QR pages read off a screenshot
with zbar decode to the log text exactly; restart reboots; left alone it
still powers off at three minutes.

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.
