2025-04-02boot/net: rename Boot.S files, clarify EEPROM implication, and prep UDP readAmlal El Mahrouss
- Renamed Boot.S → BootNetStartup.S and SysChk/Boot.S → SysChkStartup.S for clarity - Replaced BOOTNET_INTERNET_HEADER.ImpliesEEPROM with ImpliesProgram to better reflect the generic reprogramming intent - Introduced `bootnet_read_udp_packet()` stub for future UDP packet parsing from bootnet.json - Minor alignment and comment fixes in various headers (CoreBoot, EPM, Json) - Updated HalPagingMgr to use PageStore instead of NE_PAGE_STORE - Boot time now prints cycles since start; triggered fs_init_nefs() earlier during HAL init - Prep for extended MBCI and master structure support in COREBOOT_LINEAR_EXEC - Numerous cleanups across DMA, NewKit, and Json parsing to prep for extended patching and block-level bootstrap This lays groundwork for richer NetBoot infrastructure in NeKernel and aligns naming and structure conventions across subsystems.

2025-03-28bootz: rename NetBoot module to BootNetAmlal El Mahrouss
Rename the NetBoot module to BootNet to avoid confusion with Apple's NetBoot and better reflect the module's role within BootZ. Updates include: - Renamed module directory: NetBoot/ → BootNet/ - Renamed files and headers: NetBoot.cc → BootNet.cc, etc. - Updated build output: netboot.sys → bootnet.sys - Replaced all references in build scripts, source includes, and user-visible strings - Fixed typo in SysChk.cc copyright This unifies naming across modules and reinforces BootZ's modular identity.

2025-03-28bootz: consolidate EFI namespace into Boot, finalize NetBoot fallbackAmlal El Mahrouss
Collapse the EFI namespace into Boot to unify BootZ's interface for firmware handling. This simplifies calls to functions like Stop(), ThrowError(), and ExitBootServices(), and improves consistency across boot modules. Also rename SysChk/Module.cc to SysChk/SysChk.cc for naming consistency with other modules. Improve NetBoot fallback path in BootEFI: - Ensure netboot.sys is read before ExitBootServices() to avoid allocation issues after exiting firmware services. - Reuse reader and thread objects if kernel boot fails. - Update both AMD64 and ARM64 paths to follow the same logic. Update all call sites to use Boot:: instead of EFI::. Fixes: broken error handling and memory reads after ExitBootServices() Signed-off-by: Amlal El Mahrouss <amlal@nekernel.org>
2025-03-27BootZ: Introduce NetBoot module & consolidate STANDALONE macroAmlal El Mahrouss
- Renamed __BOOTLDR_STANDALONE__ → __BOOTZ_STANDALONE__ across all modules. - Introduced NetBoot module to support fallback booting via packets. - Updated amd64-desktop build to bundle netboot.sys as part of system image. - NetBoot now properly zeroes out its header and performs sanity check on PatchLength. - Boot flow now attempts to fallback to NetBoot if neoskrnl.exe fails to start. - Reorganized disk formatting logic for clarity and better failure recovery. - HeFS & NeFS minimum disk size lowered (64GiB → 256MiB and 4GiB → 8MiB). - Renamed `IndexProperty` to `Index` in FSKit::Indexer. - Moved HintKit → hint/, updated includes and guards. - Removed deprecated LPC.{cc,h}, replaced by ProcessCodes.h. - Modernized SystemCalls.h typedefs: SCIObject → Ref, ThreadObject → ThreadRef, etc. - Updated userland tools `make_app` and `open` with copyright and behavior fixes. This prepares the BootZ infrastructure for headless/network environments. Signed-off-by: Amlal El Mahrouss <amlal@nekernel.org>
