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.

UEFI loader
The loader. This directory once existed only so the BIOS path could be moved
into boot/bios/ without pretending the split was hypothetical; it is now the
only path there is.
See ../README.md for the hand-off contract a loader has to satisfy. The
short version: the kernel wants long mode with paging on, its ELF segments
placed, a 24-byte-entry E820-shaped memory map, and framebuffer geometry — and
it does not care which firmware produced them.
What this will need, in rough order:
- A PE/COFF target. clang can emit one directly
(
--target=x86_64-unknown-windows -fuse-ld=lld-link), so no new toolchain: the same LLVM install already builds every other target here. - The handful of UEFI structures actually used — the system table, boot
services,
LOADED_IMAGE,SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM,GRAPHICS_OUTPUT. Written from the specification rather than by importing gnu-efi or EDK II, which is both a licence question and a large dependency for something this small. GetMemoryMaptranslated into the same 24-byte entriese820.calready parses. Not a second format for the kernel to learn.ExitBootServicesbefore touching the memory it described.- Graphics Output Protocol for the framebuffer, filling the same
VBE_INFO_ADDRstructure the kernel reads.
The image goes at EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI on a FAT ESP, which also means the
ISO carries a single El Torito EFI entry.
