Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 6d330efdd8 Artemis Milestone 2e: real connect drives Enable Slot, slot ID correlated
xhci_poll_events()'s Port Status Change connect branch now calls
xhci_cmd_enable_slot() directly (the earlier boot-time smoke test call is
gone), tracked via a new dev->pending_connect_port_id -- since this
driver only ever has one command outstanding at a time, that alone
identifies which port a later Command Completion Event answers, without
needing to match the Command TRB Pointer yet. On success the returned
Slot ID is recorded in a new dev->port_slot_id[], a fixed
uint32_t[XHCI_MAX_TRACKED_PORTS] (32) indexed by port. Disconnect clears
the port's tracked slot (real teardown -- Disable Slot, DCBAA clear,
Section U callback -- is still a later increment).

Fixed array, not heap-allocated: a first attempt sized port_slot_id
dynamically via kmalloc_aligned(dev->max_ports * sizeof(uint32_t), 64)
inside xhci_bringup() and it crashed amd64 with a page fault (IFETCH at
RIP=CR2=0xA0000, the legacy VGA hole) during the unrelated Mama-VM-birth
phase afterward -- a heap-corruption signature, not chased to root cause.
Switching to a fixed array (matching this driver's existing preference
for fixed over dynamic allocation) made the crash go away; the crashing
boot's log is kept (logs/20260822-102516/) as the evidence trail.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures: connect ->
"enable slot command submitted" -> "enable slot succeeded", with a
disconnect/reconnect cycle repeating cleanly and no port wedge.

src/starkernel/

LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see .claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.

  • kernel_main.c — kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).
  • repl.c — kernel REPL.
  • doe_log.c — kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.

Subdirectories:

  • arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/ — per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).
  • boot/ — UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.
  • capsule/ — capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.
  • hal/ — hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).
  • hash/ — XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.
  • math/ — kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • memory/ — physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.
  • pci/ — PCI bus enumeration.
  • virtio/ — VirtIO block device driver.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).

See include/starkernel/README.md for the corresponding headers.
