They are correct and are more performant.
- Rewrite WinLdrAddDriverToList() on the model of CmpAddDriverToList()
with support for CmpIsDriverInList().
- Disable RegEnumKey() as it is now unused.
... as it should have always been done (and must be done for NTDLL
and NTOS kernel as well). This allows using the RTL with the correct
definitions and the reduced functionality available at boot-time.
+ Make the RTL main header compatible.
In addition, this will permit re-using existing code that already
uses the RTL (mostly string conversions).
See commits 427c90af3 (r36761) and b46e8cc18 (r36980) for some
background.
objcopy bug is now solved and I can't remember how this used to work anyway.
Use strip instead.
If you need to debug freeldr
- set SEPARATE_DBG cmake var to TRUE
- use qemu GDB stub
- In GDB : add-symbol-file <build_dir>/symbols/freeldr_pe.exe
- Introduce a set of NtLdrGet(Next)Option(Ex) helpers that allow
retrieving respectively, the "next" option in an options string,
and retrieving a given named option in such an options string,
by correctly parsing that string.
Valid syntaxes:
/OPTION1 /OPTION2/OPTION3 OPTION4 /OPTION5(=...) ...
Options separators are slashes, or whitespace (space, tab), mandatory
if no slash is used, and otherwise optional.
- Use these functions wherever NT load options are being parsed.
- Simplify the parsing of /DEBUGPORT=... using these functions.
- When parsing the /HAL=... or /KERNEL=... options, only the first
encountered one is taken into account, any other ones are discarded.
- When parsing the other load options, only their first occurrences are
taken into account, any other repetitions are discarded.
* The NOPAE option overrides any previous PAE option.
* Any NOEXECUTE(=) option should override any previous
NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF (or equivalently, EXECUTE) option.
Remove RTC switch from configure.cmd, now MSVC runtime checks are
supposed to be enabled/disabled via CMake define (-DRUNTIME_CHECKS=1)
Prepare for adding more dynamic analysis options
- Add ARC-emulation support for NEC PC-98 series
- Add global definition for PC-98 port into CMakeLists.txt
- Add floppy verison of freeldr.ini for PC-98 CD boot
- Remove now unused i386rtl.c (and it doesn't contains RTL functions nowadays).
- Separate PC beep routines out into its own file.
- Also use delay function instead of BIOS interrupts.
- Improve as well the accuracy of KeStallExecutionProcessor() by using the same HW delay function.
The first part of PC-98 Port - https://reactos.org/wiki/PC-98
- Add FAT12 file system boot sector for NEC PC-98 series.
- Add a new build target for a PC-98 bootable floppy disk.
- Add a new sub-architecture into config.cmake.
CORE-16220 CORE-16216
* Create a new driver.
* Use the functions from the library in xboxdisk.c
Driver now supports PC, Xbox and NEC PC-98.

- "FrldrBootPath" -> "FrLdrBootPath";
- Get rid of GetFreeLoaderVersionString() and use FrLdrVersionString
directly instead;
- Rephrase some comments;
- Use RTL_NUMBER_OF();
- Reduce indent level in LoadOperatingSystem() and EditOperatingSystemEntry().
Bug fix:
- Fix DissectArcPath() for "ramdisk(0)" case.
CORE-9023
- During loading and initialization of the list of operating systems
available in freeldr.ini, convert any legacy operating system entry
encountered -- they are like those in NTLDR's boot.ini file, i.e.:
ArcOsLoadPartition="LoadIdentifier" /List /of /Options
into a new operating system INI entry, like those used by default in
FreeLoader. This allows us to avoid treating this corner-case later in
different parts of the code. Also, the "BootType" value is now
determined there, only once.
- Convert the OS loaders entry-points to ARC-compatible ones, following
the "Advanced RISC Computing Specification, Version 1.2" specification
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/Hardware/Machines/ARC/riscspec.pdf
- Introduce helpers for retrieving options values from the argument vector
in a simple way.
- Simplify LoadOperatingSystem(), since now the "BootType" value has
been determined once while loading the list of OSes (see above) and
is well-defined there. Use the BuildArgvForOsLoader() helper to build
the ARC-compatible argument vector from the corresponding INI settings
for the selected operating system entry, and use it when calling the
corresponding OS loader.
- In the OS loaders, since we can now directly read the settings from
the argument vector (instead of using INI settings), we can avoid
using a bunch of fixed-size string buffers, and avoid potentially
failing IniOpenSection() calls as well.
- Simplify code in the Linux loader (and the RemoveQuotes() function).
- Add UiShowMessageBoxesInArgv() that acts on the "MessageBox=" settings
passed through the argument vector (equivalent to
UiShowMessageBoxesInSection() ).
- Use string-safe functions where needed (copy/concatenation/printf on
fixed-size buffers).
"configure.cmd VSSolution" was failing due to add_asm_files macro
expansion. It was using the same 'freeldr_linker_file' variable name
as a temporary filename base twice. This patch uses '_target'
parameter to make those variable names differ.
- Multiboot support added back in FreeLdr MSVC builds so that it can be
booted using e.g. GRUB. See CORE-15563.
- Re-introduce the disk drive mapper code.
As the MSVC linker alone doesn't permit such control, the file uses
ASM language (C can alternatively be used), together with extra linker
command-line switches.
It is pre-processed 3 times: first for generating the ASM code, second
for the C code and the third time for generating the linker response
file.
In our case, the ASM code defines the __bss_start__ and __bss_end__
symbols that allow us to find the limits of the .bss section (which is
by the way automatically appended to the .data section by the MSVC linker).
The C code is used to specify the list of linker switches that can be
passed through the `#pragma comment(linker, ...)' directive (the can be
alternatively specified in the linker response section).
Finally the linker response section contains all the linker switches
that cannot be specified with the `#pragma comment(linker, ...)'
directive.
Using all this we can recycle the BSS initialization code, that has been
written originally for GCC only, also for the MSVC builds.
Also, remove the outdated .text16 section merging.
- Whitespace;
- Explicitly use string pooling (option "/GF"), so that even if it's
used globally in the main ReactOS CMAKE file or not, we still have it
there, because we are quite size-constrained;
- Rename the source lists (OK, we understand it's _COMMON_ ...);
- Remove redundant double inclusion of linuxboot.c;
- In the 'freeldr_common' static library, compile the ASM code first.
* 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
Volume boot record is also implemented, it supports reading BTRFS tree structures with upto 64k node size.
This support required to change all path in Free Loader to lowercase for better performance.
CORE-13769
- We use this as a chance to also update the CMake file in terms of consistency.
- The clang-cl build applies the /Os flag on all the source files that are now using the PCH too.
