ZerOS Kernel and System Interaction Guide

This skill provides guidance on how to interact with ZerOS kernel and system APIs, including kernel module development, program-to-kernel communication, and system service access.

Core Concepts

ZerOS Architecture

ZerOS is a browser-based virtual operating system kernel with:

  • Kernel modules: Core system functionality (process management, memory, filesystem, etc.)
  • POOL: Object pool for module data sharing and communication
  • ProcessManager: Manages program lifecycle and kernel API calls
  • Permission system: Controls access to kernel APIs

Module Communication

Kernel modules communicate through:

  • POOL: POOL.__GET__("KERNEL_GLOBAL_POOL", "ModuleName") to access modules
  • Direct access: Modules registered globally via window.ModuleName or globalThis.ModuleName
  • Dependency management: Modules declared in bootloader/starter.js

Program-to-Kernel API Calls

Method 1: Process-Bound API (Recommended)

Use initArgs.kernelAPI.call() for secure, process-bound API calls:

async __init__(pid, initArgs) {
    this.pid = pid;
    this.kernelAPI = initArgs.kernelAPI;  // Save bound API
    
    // Call kernel API without passing pid
    const content = await this.kernelAPI.call('Disk.read', ['D:/myfile.txt']);
    await this.kernelAPI.call('Notification.create', [{
        title: 'Success',
        content: 'File read successfully'
    }]);
}

Advantages:

  • No PID parameter needed (bound to process)
  • Prevents PID spoofing (CVS_ZEROS_009 mitigation)
  • Recommended for sensitive or multi-instance programs

Method 2: Standard API Call

Use ProcessManager.callKernelAPI() for standard calls:

// Call kernel API with explicit PID
const result = await ProcessManager.callKernelAPI(this.pid, 'Disk.read', ['D:/myfile.txt']);

// Example: Create notification
await ProcessManager.callKernelAPI(this.pid, 'Notification.create', [{
    title: 'Info',
    content: 'Operation completed',
    type: 'info',
    duration: 3000
}]);

API Format: 'ModuleName.methodName'

  • Module name: e.g., Disk, GUIManager, LStorage
  • Method name: e.g., read, write, registerWindow

Common Kernel APIs

File System Operations

API Namespace: FileSystem.*

// Read file (requires KERNEL_DISK_READ)
const content = await this.kernelAPI.call('FileSystem.read', ['D:/path/to/file.txt']);

// Write file (requires KERNEL_DISK_WRITE)
await this.kernelAPI.call('FileSystem.write', ['D:/path/to/file.txt', content]);

// Delete file (requires KERNEL_DISK_DELETE)
await this.kernelAPI.call('FileSystem.delete', ['D:/path/to/file.txt']);

// Create file/directory (requires KERNEL_DISK_CREATE)
await this.kernelAPI.call('FileSystem.create', ['D:/path/to/newfile.txt', 'file']);

]);

Permission System

Permission Levels

  • NORMAL: Automatically granted, no user confirmation, only logged
  • SPECIAL: First-time user confirmation, decision saved for future use
  • DANGEROUS: Requires admin approval, may prompt each time

Permission Declaration

Programs declare permissions in __info__():

static __info__() {
    return {
        name: 'MyProgram',
        type: 'GUI',
        permissions: [
            PermissionManager.PERMISSION.KERNEL_DISK_READ,
            PermissionManager.PERMISSION.KERNEL_DISK_WRITE,
            PermissionManager.PERMISSION.SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION,
            PermissionManager.PERMISSION.GUI_WINDOW_CREATE,
            PermissionManager.PERMISSION.SERVER_SERVICE_MANAGE  // DANGEROUS
        ]
    };
}

Common Permissions

File System:

  • KERNEL_DISK_READ, KERNEL_DISK_WRITE, KERNEL_DISK_DELETE, KERNEL_DISK_CREATE, KERNEL_DISK_LIST

GUI:

  • GUI_WINDOW_CREATE, GUI_WINDOW_MANAGE

System:

  • SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION, SYSTEM_STORAGE_READ, SYSTEM_STORAGE_WRITE
  • SYSTEM_STORAGE_WRITE_USER_CONTROL (DANGEROUS, admin only)
  • SYSTEM_STORAGE_WRITE_PERMISSION_CONTROL (DANGEROUS, admin only)

Process:

  • PROCESS_MANAGE (DANGEROUS), PROCESS_BACKGROUND (NORMAL, self only)

Network:

  • NETWORK_ACCESS (NORMAL)

Server:

  • SERVER_SERVICE_MANAGE (DANGEROUS, highest priority)

Other:

  • CRYPT_*, DRAG_*, GEOGRAPHY_LOCATION, SPEECH_RECOGNITION, CACHE_*, LANGUAGES_*, SCHEDULE_TASK_*

Permission Checking

Permissions are automatically checked when calling kernel APIs:

  • NORMAL: Auto-granted, logged to audit trail
  • SPECIAL: User dialog appears on first use, decision saved
  • DANGEROUS: Admin approval required, may prompt each time

Important:

  • Exploit program (PID 10000) bypasses all permission checks
  • Permission decisions are cached for 5 seconds (TTL)
  • Permission violations are logged to audit trail

Kernel Module Development

Module Structure

// kernel/drive/myDrive.js
KernelLogger.info("MyDrive", "模块初始化");

class MyDrive {
    static _initialized = false;
    
    static init() {
        if (MyDrive._initialized) return;
        
        try {
            MyDrive._initialized = true;
            MyDrive._registerToPool();
            KernelLogger.info("MyDrive", "模块初始化完成");
        } catch (error) {
            KernelLogger.error("MyDrive", "模块初始化失败", error);
        }
    }
    
    static _registerToPool() {
        if (typeof POOL !== 'undefined' && POOL && typeof POOL.__SET__ === 'function') {
            POOL.__SET__("KERNEL_GLOBAL_POOL", "MyDrive", MyDrive);
        }
    }
    
    static doSomething() {
        if (!MyDrive._initialized) {
            KernelLogger.warn("MyDrive", "模块未初始化");
            return;
        }
        // Implementation
    }
}

// Auto-initialize
if (typeof KernelLogger !== 'undefined') {
    if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => MyDrive.init());
    } else {
        MyDrive.init();
    }
}

// Publish load signal
if (typeof DependencyConfig !== 'undefined' && DependencyConfig && typeof DependencyConfig.publishSignal === 'function') {
    DependencyConfig.publishSignal("../kernel/drive/myDrive.js");
}

Key Requirements

  1. Use KernelLogger: Never use console.log, always use KernelLogger.info/warn/error/debug
  2. Register to POOL: Use POOL.__SET__("KERNEL_GLOBAL_POOL", "ModuleName", ModuleClass)
  3. Declare dependencies: Add to bootloader/starter.js MODULE_DEPENDENCIES
  4. Publish signal: Call DependencyConfig.publishSignal() after initialization
  5. Check initialization: Always check _initialized flag before operations

Accessing Other Modules

// From POOL
const LStorage = POOL.__GET__("KERNEL_GLOBAL_POOL", "LStorage");
if (LStorage) {
    // CRITICAL: Check and initialize before use
    if (!LStorage._initialized) {
        await LStorage.init();
    }
    const data = LStorage.getSystemStorage('key');
}

// From global
if (typeof ProcessManager !== 'undefined') {
    ProcessManager.getProcessInfo(pid);
}

System Information

Get System Info

// System version
const version = SystemInformation.getSystemVersion();
const kernelVersion = SystemInformation.getKernelVersion();

// Service URLs
const fsUrl = SystemInformation.getFSDirveUrl();
const origin = SystemInformation.getOrigin();

// Host environment
const env = SystemInformation.getHostEnvironment();

Process Management

Get Process Information

// From program context
const processInfo = ProcessManager.getProcessInfo(this.pid);

// Check if process exists
const exists = ProcessManager.hasProcess(pid);

// List all processes
const processes = ProcessManager.listProcesses();

Self-Termination

// Recommended: Use bound API
await this.kernelAPI.call('Process.requestSelfTermination', []);

// Alternative: Standard API
await ProcessManager.callKernelAPI(this.pid, 'Process.requestSelfTermination', []);

Best Practices

  1. Use bound API: Prefer initArgs.kernelAPI.call() for security (prevents PID spoofing)
  2. Handle errors: Always wrap API calls in try-catch blocks
  3. Check permissions: Ensure program declares required permissions in __info__()
  4. Log operations: Use KernelLogger for debugging (in kernel modules), never use console.log
  5. Clean up resources: Unregister windows, clear caches, stop sessions on exit
  6. Follow patterns: Use existing modules as reference for structure
  7. VM/CLI programs: Use bound API for self-termination to avoid PID validation issues
  8. Error handling: Provide user-friendly error messages via notifications
  9. Resource lifecycle: Properly initialize and cleanup all resources (drag sessions, speech sessions, etc.)
  10. Security: Never bypass permission checks, always declare required permissions

Common Patterns

Async API Call Pattern

try {
    const result = await this.kernelAPI.call('Module.method', [arg1, arg2]);
    // Handle success
} catch (error) {
    // Handle error
    await this.kernelAPI.call('Notification.create', [{
        title: 'Error',
        content: error.message,
        type: 'error'
    }]);
}

Resource Cleanup Pattern

async __exit__(pid, force) {
    try {
        // Cleanup GUI windows
        if (this.windowId) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('GUI.manageWindow', [this.windowId, 'close']);
        }
        
        // Cleanup drag sessions
        if (this.dragSessionId) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Drag.destroySession', [this.dragSessionId]);
        }
        
        // Cleanup speech sessions
        if (this.speechSessionId) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Speech.stopSession', [this.speechSessionId]);
        }
        
        // Cleanup cache
        await this.kernelAPI.call('Cache.delete', ['myCacheKey', { pid: this.pid }]);
        
        // Cleanup network ports
        if (this.registeredPorts) {
            for (const port of this.registeredPorts) {
                await this.kernelAPI.call('Network.Port.unregister', [port]);
            }
        }
        
        // Cleanup taskbar icons
        if (this.taskbarIconId) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Taskbar.removeIcon', [this.taskbarIconId]);
        }
        
        // Storage persists, but can clear if needed
    } catch (error) {
        // Log cleanup errors but don't throw
        console.error('Cleanup error:', error);
    }
}

Error Handling Pattern

async performOperation() {
    try {
        const result = await this.kernelAPI.call('FileSystem.read', ['D:/file.txt']);
        return result;
    } catch (error) {
        // Check error type
        if (error.message.includes('没有权限') || error.message.includes('permission')) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Notification.create', [{
                title: '权限不足',
                content: '程序需要文件读取权限',
                type: 'error',
                duration: 5000
            }]);
        } else if (error.message.includes('不存在') || error.message.includes('not found')) {
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Notification.create', [{
                title: '文件不存在',
                content: '无法找到指定的文件',
                type: 'warning',
                duration: 3000
            }]);
        } else {
            // Report unexpected errors
            await this.kernelAPI.call('Exception.report', [
                'PROGRAM',
                `Operation failed: ${error.message}`,
                { error: error.toString(), stack: error.stack },
                this.pid
            ]);
        }
        throw error; // Re-throw for caller handling
    }
}

Background Process Pattern

async __init__(pid, initArgs) {
    this.pid = pid;
    this.kernelAPI = initArgs.kernelAPI;
    this.isBackground = false;
    
    // Register background handlers
    await this.kernelAPI.call('Process.registerBackgroundTrayClick', [() => {
        this.restoreWindow();
    }]);
    
    await this.kernelAPI.call('Process.registerBackgroundTrayContextMenu', [[
        { label: 'Show', action: () => this.restoreWindow() },
        { label: 'Settings', action: () => this.openSettings() }
    ]]);
}

async onWindowClose() {
    // Request background mode instead of exiting
    await this.kernelAPI.call('Process.requestBackground', []);
    this.hideWindow();
    this.isBackground = true;
}

async restoreWindow() {
    this.showWindow();
    await this.kernelAPI.call('GUI.manageWindow', [this.windowId, 'focus']);
    this.isBackground = false;
}

Security Considerations

PID Spoofing Prevention (CVS_ZEROS_009)

  • Use bound API: initArgs.kernelAPI.call() prevents PID spoofing
  • Call stack validation: Standard API validates caller PID against call stack
  • Exploit PID protection: Application layer cannot use Exploit PID (10000)

Permission Security

  • Always declare permissions: Missing permissions cause API calls to fail
  • DANGEROUS permissions: Require admin approval, highest security level
  • Permission caching: 5-second TTL prevents excessive checks
  • Audit trail: All permission operations are logged

Best Security Practices

  1. Never bypass permission checks
  2. Use bound API for sensitive operations
  3. Validate all user inputs before API calls
  4. Handle permission errors gracefully
  5. Report security issues via Exception.report

RandomSecurity & CVS-ZEROS-016

  • 问题：RandomSecurity 接口（签发 SystemToken/UserToken）在修复前未校验请求来源，任意客户端传 type=SystemToken 即可未认证获取系统令牌并提权。
  • 修复逻辑：SystemToken 仅在「该 randomValue 已通过 action=commit_for_system 在同一 IP 下提交且未消费」时签发。引导流程：前端生成 randomValue → 先 POST commit_for_system → 再 POST 签发 type=SystemToken + 同一 randomValue；后端校验并消费该提交后签发，否则 403。
  • 前端：kernel/core/safemode/randomSecurity.js 的 runSecurityCheck() 中先 commitRandomValueForSystem(_randomSecurityValue) 再 getJWTFromBackend(..., 'SystemToken')。
  • 后端：PHP 使用 BOOT_COMMIT_FILE 存每 IP 一笔未消费提交，TTL 30s，5s 内不可覆盖（防占位），超 5s 可同 IP 覆盖（刷新恢复）。签发 SystemToken 时校验并删除该提交。
  • 补充：NetworkManager 在携带 JWT 的请求收到 401 时触发系统级异常（蓝屏），同一会话只触发一次。

Multi-backend service URL（多后端服务地址）

  • 统一管理：后端类型与端口由 SystemInformation 管理（_backendConfig.type、phpPort、springBootPort），来自 LStorage system.backendConfig 或 URL 参数 ?backend= / ?backendType=。
  • URL 拼装：有 SystemInformation 时一律用 SystemInformation.getXxxPath() / getXxxUrl() 或 buildServiceUrl(SERVICE_NAMES.xxx, params)，内部按 backend 类型加后缀（PHP→.php，SpringBoot→无）并选对应端口。
  • Fallback：无 SystemInformation 时与 FSDirve/LStorage 一致：默认 PHP 路径 + 当前页 window.location.origin，不按端口猜测、不读 URL 参数。用 Java 后端时需保证 SystemInformation 先加载并配置。
  • 禁止：不要用 window.location.port === '8080' 等端口推断后端类型；新服务在 SystemInformation.SERVICE_NAMES 注册并视需要提供 getXxxPath() / getXxxUrl()。

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: "API调用拒绝(PID校验)"

Cause: Call stack doesn't match provided PID (VM/CLI programs)

Solution: Use bound API this.kernelAPI.call() instead of ProcessManager.callKernelAPI(this.pid, ...)

Issue: "没有权限" / "Permission denied"

Cause: Missing permission declaration or insufficient user level

Solution:

  1. Add permission to __info__().permissions
  2. For DANGEROUS permissions, ensure admin user
  3. Check permission level (NORMAL/SPECIAL/DANGEROUS)

Issue: "磁盘分区不存在"

Cause: Partition not initialized or invalid path format

Solution:

  1. Use correct path format: "D:/path/to/file" (not "D:\path\to\file")
  2. Ensure partition exists: Disk.diskSeparateMap.has('D:')
  3. Check NodeTree initialization

Issue: "模块未初始化"

Cause: Kernel module not loaded or initialization failed

Solution:

  1. Check module dependencies in bootloader/starter.js
  2. Verify module registered to POOL
  3. Check KernelLogger for initialization errors
