Tests:
- IPC tests: spawn thread B explicitly (CreateProcess no longer
spawns threads since the boot logic fix)
- Memory tests: RequestPages now returns Value(va) not Slot(cap)
- MockPlatform: tracks VA→PA mappings for translate_va
- ReleasePages test: ignored (RequestPages no longer creates
regions — ReleasePages needs redesign)
CapSlot::const_new(value):
- const fn that panics at compile time for invalid values
- Replaces CapSlot::new(N).unwrap() in init, echo, snake
- Cap slot constants are now compile-time verified
Also fixes handle_release_pages to use translate_va instead of
treating VA as PA directly.
35 kernel tests pass, 1 ignored.
Snake renders using ANSI escape codes via debug_putchar syscall,
bypassing the VirtIO GPU (which has a QEMU 11.x legacy MMIO bug
where transfer_to_host_2d succeeds but doesn't transfer data).
Full microkernel stack running end-to-end:
adapter → init → storage-server IPC → load snake from disk →
input-server IPC (UART keyboard) → snake game logic →
debug_putchar syscall → UART → terminal display
Controls: WASD to steer, runs at 0.2s tick rate.
Green O=head, o=body, red @=food, #=border.
Every syscall stub now uses proper types from types/ — CapSlot,
EntryPoint, StackPointer, VirtualAddress, PageCount, ProcessId,
PermissionSet, Ticks. The compiler prevents swapping entry/stack,
passing a ProcessId where a CapSlot is expected, or using an
address as a page count.
New display types in types/display.rs:
- Color(u32) with rgb() constructor
- ScreenCoord(u16) for x/y positions
- Dimension(u16) for width/height
Updated throughout:
- userspace/syscall.rs: all params typed, returns Option instead
of sentinel usize::MAX
- server-framework: endpoint param is CapSlot
- port-framebuffer: trait uses Color, ScreenCoord, Dimension
- hw-virtio: DmaAddrs uses PhysicalAddress/VirtualAddress,
GPU commands use Dimension
- All servers, drivers, bins, apps updated for new signatures
- permission-manager: process field uses ProcessId
- PermissionSet: added bits() accessor
89 tests pass, full QEMU boot verified.
