Previously, when creating a file section, Mm requested Cc to cache the file, then Cc would request pages from Mm, then Mm would request them back to serve its file-mapping role
Now, Mm does it all by itself. If file cahcing is requested by the FS driver, then Cc creates a file mapping and uses that to serve its purpose.
This is a rewrite of Cc
- Change INIT_FUNCTION and INIT_SECTION to CODE_SEG("INIT") and DATA_SEG("INIT") respectively
- Remove INIT_FUNCTION from function prototypes
- Remove alloc_text pragma calls as they are not needed anymore
- Add boot video color constants
- Refactor palette initialization
- Move some common stuff in right place
- Get rid of some magic constants and hardcoded values
- Get rid of TopDelta variable (calculated at compile time)
- Update SAL annotations
Addendum to 5f2ca473. CORE-16216 CORE-16219
This means we now correctly handle the DO_POWER_PAGABLE flag.
In particular, Windows's usbhub.sys calls KeDelayExecutionThread from a
power IRP dispatch routine. We now handle this correctly.
- Add and initialize a global power capabilities variable.
- Return the global power capabilities via NtPowerInformation.SystemPowerCapabilities.
- Report the presence of power button, sleep button and lid.
* Add an NDK header to define INIT_FUNCTION/INIT_SECTION globally
* Use _declspec(allocate(x)) and _declspec(code_seg(x)) on MSVC versions that support it
* Use INIT_FUNCTION on functions only and INIT_SECTION on data only (required by MSVC)
* Place INIT_FUNCTION before the return type (required by MSVC)
* Make sure declarations and implementations share the same modifiers (required by MSVC)
* Add a global linker option to suppress warnings about defined but unused INIT section
* Merge INIT section into .text in freeldr
This removes the "modified page writer" thread in Mm that was regularly blindly
attempting to flush dirty pages to the disk.
Instead, this commit introduces a lazy writer that will monitor dirty pages count
and will flush them to disk when this count is above a threshold. The threshold is
computed on Cc init.
Compared to what was done previously, this lazy writer will only write down files
that are not marked as temporary.
The mechanisms involved in this lazy writer worker are well described in Windows
Internals 4th editions (constants are coming from it ;-)).
Also fixed a bad (and old!) bug in CcRosFlushDirtyPages() where target count could
be overflow and the function would spin forever while holding the VACBs lock. This is
mandatory as now lazy writer will call it with "random" values.
This also allows implementing CcWaitForCurrentLazyWriterActivity() :-).
Also renamed DirtyPageCount to its MS equivalent.
