v0.5.4: shadow backbuffer can no longer alias the framebuffer
Real-hardware scroll freeze (no exception, QEMU-clean) — the per-word
push (0.5.3) did not fix it, so the wedge is upstream of the push.
A QEMU slow-display simulation (new DISPLAY_STALL knob + shell 'stall'
command busy-waits per display store, mimicking an uncached real-GPU
framebuffer) proved the per-word push and shadow memmove are slow but
finite — the shell keeps ticking, scrolls eventually complete. The
freeze mechanism QEMU cannot exhibit is the shadow *landing on the
framebuffer*: the heap free list spans the fb hole, so the 1.9 MB heap
shadow can alias the display on machines where firmware reports the fb
as ConventionalMemory — every scroll then becomes an MMIO->MMIO memcpy
on an uncached framebuffer, which wedges real hardware (a stall, no
fault, hence no dump).
Fix:
- gop::init_shadow(): allocate the shadow from the fb-aware page
allocator (init_page_allocator marks fb pages used per-page), so it
can never overlap the display; heap allocation kept only as a
fallback with an explicit overlap rejection. Boot log now prints
'gop: shadow @ <addr> ... origin=page-alloc|heap|none'.
- Scroll shadow memmove converted to per-word stores (belt and
suspenders — immune to any future fb-aliased shadow).
- Verified on QEMU: shadow @ 0x100000 vs fb 0x80000000..0x801d5000,
overlap=false; all 5 test suites pass; scroll completes even under
the stalled-display simulation.
