rpi5_mailbox.c: wire the VideoCore mailbox message protocol (FABRIC-3.md §IV.3 item 3)
New rpi5_mailbox_get_framebuffer() sends one property-tag request buffer
(phys size, virt size, depth, pixel order, virtual offset, allocate-buffer,
get-pitch) over the register layout rpi5_dtb.c already discovers, populating
an Rpi5FramebufferInfo kept in exact field-for-field sync with uefi.h's
FramebufferInfo so console.c/vt100.c/framebuffer.c need no downstream changes
once this is wired into a real entry stub.

Register offsets (+0x00/+0x18 MBOX0 read/status, +0x20/+0x38 MBOX1
write/status) confirmed against a Pi-5-specific bare-metal reference,
independently cross-checked against this codebase's own rpi5_dtb.c
translated base address.

Caught and fixed a real buffer-overflow bug before compiling: the static
request buffer was sized 32 words against an actual 35-word requirement for
the 7-tag sequence, recomputed exactly rather than re-estimated; resized to
40 words.

Two things flagged as genuinely unverified against real hardware (not
guessed past the comment): the allocate-buffer tag's request-size field
value, and whether its response address needs classic bus-alias masking on
Pi 5 specifically.

Compile-only-verified -- no caller yet (that's the still-open entry-stub/DTB
constructor items). Verified 3-arch boot to ok>/zuse)ok>.

include/starkernel/

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
