WIDL used the wrong type information when a pointer to a non-basetype is used as a functions parameter. For example, a 'wchar_t**' would be treated as a 'wchar_t*'.
This patch will be sent upstream.
CORE-15901
This fixes display reset transition when an external module acquired
INBV ownership and then released it, similarly to what was done in
commit 0ad65796 for VIDEOPRT.
For this a backup screenbuffer is used to store the contents of the
screen just before an INBV screen acquire transition, and these contents
are restored when it is detected that INBV ownership has been released.
Also, the active text font associated with the active console code-page
is restored, as well as the cursor state and shape.
In addition, any user of BLUE.SYS is now required to explicitly issue
a new IOCTL_CONSOLE_RESET_SCREEN to either enable or disable the screen.
This allows avoiding nasty unwanted screen mode switches when a handle
to the \Device\BlueScreen device is opened but no screen mode switch was
actually wanted - This "fixes" this annoyance on ReactOS and Windows,
when these are running witha VGA-compatible video driver and one wants
to look at properties of the \Device\BlueScreen device using
Sysinternals' WinObj.
Following this, we don't need to check anymore for explicit INBV
ownership by issuing calls to InbvCheckDisplayOwnership(), but instead
we check whether the screen has beeen manually enabled using the
aforementioned IOCTL. This partly supersedes commit 8b553a4b, and allows
fixing the second bug, namely that if we start ReactOS without the
/NOGUIBOOT option (and thus, INBV is active during boot), USETUP would
not show up anything because BLUE.SYS wouldn't display anything on screen.
See CORE-15901.
[USETUP][CONSRV] Call IOCTL_CONSOLE_RESET_SCREEN to tell BlueScreen device to enable the screen.

VIDEOPRT:
=========
Improve interfacing with INBV, so as to detect when an external module
acquired INBV display ownership, and whether ownership is being released
later on. (This does NOT rely on hooking!)
For this purpose we improve the IntVideoPortResetDisplayParameters(Ex)
callback that gets registered with an InbvNotifyDisplayOwnershipLost()
call during initialization, and we add a monitoring thread.
The callback is called whenever an external module calls
InbvAcquireDisplayOwnership(), for example the bugcheck code or the KDBG
debugger in SCREEN mode. When this happens, a flag that tells the
monitoring thread to start monitoring INBV is set (ReactOS-specific),
and the display adapters get reset with HwResetHw() (as done on Windows).
Due to the fact that this INBV callback can be called at *ANY* IRQL, we
cannot use dispatcher synchronization mechanisms such as events to tell
the INBV monitoring thread to start its operations, so we need to rely
instead on a flag to be set. And, since INBV doesn't provide with any
proper callback/notification system either, we need to actively monitor
its state by pooling. To reduce the load on the system the monitoring
thread performs 1-second waits between each check for the flag set by
the INBV callback, and during checking the INBV ownership status.
When the INBV ownership is detected to be released by an external module,
the INBV callback is re-registered (this is *MANDATORY* since the
external module has called InbvNotifyDisplayOwnershipLost() with a
different callback parameter!), and then we callout to Win32k for
re-enabling the display.
This has the virtue of correctly resetting the display once the KDBG
debugger in SCREEN mode is being exited, and fixes CORE-12149 .
The following additional fixes were needed:
VIDEOPRT & WIN32K:
==================
Remove the registration with INBV that was previously done in a ReactOS-
specific hacked IRP_MJ_WRITE call; it is now done correctly during the
video device opening done by EngpRegisterGraphicsDevice() in the VIDEOPRT's
IRP_MJ_CREATE handler, as done on Windows.
WIN32K:
=======
- Stub the VideoPortCallout() support, for VIDEOPRT -> WIN32 callbacks.
This function gets registered with VIDEOPRT through an
IOCTL_VIDEO_INIT_WIN32K_CALLBACKS call in EngpRegisterGraphicsDevice().
- Only partially implement the 'VideoFindAdapterCallout' case, that just
re-enables the primary display by refreshing it (using the new function
UserRefreshDisplay()).
VIDEOPRT:
=========
- PVIDEO_WIN32K_CALLOUT is an NTAPI (stdcall) callback.
- In the IntVideoPortResetDisplayParameters(Ex) callback, reset all the
"resettable" adapters registered in the HwResetAdaptersList list.
We thus get rid of the global ResetDisplayParametersDeviceExtension.
- Make the IntVideoPortResetDisplayParameters(Ex) callback slightly more
robust (using SEH) against potential HwResetListEntry list corruption
or invalid DriverExtension->InitializationData.HwResetHw() that would
otherwise trigger a BSOD, and this would be disastrous since that
callback is precisely called when INBV is acquired, typically when the
BSOD code initializes the display for displaying its information...
Extras:
- Validate the IrpStack->MajorFunction in IntVideoPortDispatchDeviceControl()
and implement IRP_MJ_SHUTDOWN handling. Stub out the other IOCTLs that
are handled by VIDEOPRT only (and not by the miniports).
- VIDEOPRT doesn't require IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL (unused).
- Implement IOCTL_VIDEO_PREPARE_FOR_EARECOVERY that just resets the
display to standard VGA 80x25 text mode.
PR #2101 shows desktop.ini files on Desktop. I want to hide them.
- Add "ShowSuperHidden" setting to Explorer.
- Add SHCONTF_INCLUDESUPERHIDDEN flag.
- Support SHCONTF_INCLUDESUPERHIDDEN in Explorer.
