storage: AHCI, GPT/MBR partitions, and a disk a PC can boot
...
q35 stopped with "no root filesystem" because its disk is SATA, like
every PC since 2008, and SchOS only had IDE. And SchFS could only sit
on a whole raw device, so nothing could boot from a disk that also
carried an ESP.
- include/blkdev.h, kernel/dev/blkdev.c: a registry of block devices
found at probe time, numbered from 4. A disk's GPT (or MBR) is read
when it registers, and each partition becomes a device whose block 0
is the partition's first sector. SchFS needs no format change to live
in a partition; a Linux SchFS driver will see the same bytes on
/dev/sdX2. SchFS has its own GPT type:
47138FA9-B79C-47A6-9F7D-AC1F7F572D5E.
- AHCI driver, written from the AHCI 1.3.1 spec: BIOS handoff,
COMRESET when the link is down, IDENTIFY, 48-bit DMA read/write,
FLUSH. Completion is polled, so the root disk does not depend on
interrupt routing.
- USB sticks also register as usb0, so their partitions are found.
- The root probe tries registered devices between USB and IDE,
SchFS-typed partitions first.
- make disk / tools/posix/mkdisk.sh: a GPT image with a 64 MB ESP and
a SchFS partition, ready to dd to a stick or a disk.
Tested in QEMU q35: the old two-disk setup roots on sata1; disk.img as
the only SATA disk roots on sata0p2; disk.img as a USB stick (firmware
boots from it) roots on usb0p2. Writes survive sync in each case.
