feat(rumpk): Phase 8 - The Summoning (ELF Loader) - 95% Complete
...
## Major Features
### 1. Dynamic ELF64 Binary Loading
- Implemented ELF parser with full header validation (core/loader/elf.nim)
- Created kexec() loader supporting PT_LOAD segment mapping
- Added BSS initialization and data copying from VFS
- Assembly trampoline (rumpk_enter_userland) for userland entry
### 2. Syscall Infrastructure
- Added CMD_SYS_EXEC (0x400) for consciousness swapping
- Integrated exec command in NipBox shell
- Implemented syscall routing through command ring
- Added provenance tracking via SipHash
### 3. Test Binary & Build System
- Created hello.c test program for alien binary execution
- Automated compilation and initrd inclusion in build.sh
- Added libnexus.h header for standalone C programs
### 4. VFS Integration
- Implemented TarFS file cursor system for sequential reads
- Fixed infinite loop bug in cat command
- Added debug logging for VFS mount process
## Technical Improvements
### Memory Management
- Fixed input ring null pointer dereference
- Implemented CMD_ION_FREE syscall for packet reclamation
- Resolved memory leak in input/output pipeline
- Added FileHandle with persistent offset tracking
### ABI Stability
- Split kprint into 1-arg (Nim) and kwrite (C ABI)
- Fixed cstring conversion warnings across codebase
- Corrected RISC-V assembly (csrw sie, zero)
### Documentation
- Comprehensive Phase 8 documentation (docs/PHASE-8-ELF-LOADER.md)
- Detailed implementation notes and debugging status
## Current Status
✅ ELF parser, loader, and syscall infrastructure complete
✅ Test binary compiles and embeds in VFS
✅ Shell integration functional
🔧 Debugging command ring communication (syscall not reaching kernel)
## Files Changed
Core:
- core/loader.nim, core/loader/elf.nim (NEW)
- core/kernel.nim, core/ion.nim (syscall handling)
- core/fs/tar.nim (file cursor system)
- hal/arch/riscv64/switch.S (userland trampoline)
Userland:
- npl/nipbox/nipbox.nim (exec command)
- libs/membrane/libc_shim.zig (syscall implementation)
- libs/membrane/ion.zig (command ring API)
Build & Test:
- build.sh (hello.c compilation)
- rootfs/src/hello.c, rootfs/src/libnexus.h (NEW)
- apps/subject_entry.S (NEW)
## Next Steps
1. Debug SysTable and command ring communication
2. Verify ION fiber polling of chan_cmd
3. Test full ELF loading and execution flow
4. Add memory protection (future phase)
