This version (after .rsrc) works different than the
proper version I used for 0.4.12 (after .reloc).
Inserting after .rsrc is actually not correct, but Thomas believes it can
be used as a temporary trick to avoid random memory corruption upon
relocations of the kernel, caused by ROSBE-154.
I follow his advice, although when judging from practical tests only:
as long as we limit this script to NTOSKRNL like I do for releases
there have no negative consequences been observed in real life yet
even with the proper version of 0.4.12.
Up to now those problems have only been observed when used for drivers
MODULE TYPE sdk/cmake/gcc.cmake as well, like
it was tried for a moment in master 0.4.13-dev-609-g
c4d8e2a6e9
Using for drivers immediately did lead to BSODs like CORE-16183 and therefore was
mitigated in master by total disabling of the scripts for both,
kernel and drivers in
0.4.13-dev-621-g
36e9a6f8dd
To allow installing DVDWritenow without BSOD,
we need the script at least for ntoskrnl!
I committed this patch (after .rsrc) already into 0.4.13RC and 0.4.14RC.
- 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
According to PC-9801 Bible p. 50, divisor for PIT will become unsupported in some cases after having removed the fractional part. Replace 19200 value with 9600 which is supported by both 10 MHz and 8 MHz machines.
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
If a thread calls MiInsertPageInFreeList after the zero page thread has
woken up from its wait but before it acquired the PFN lock,
MmZeroingPageEvent might get set again even though there is no additional
work to be done.
By setting MmZeroingPageThreadActive together with the event, the variable
correctly indicates for future callers that the zero thread will process
newly added free pages.
This partially reverts r72990.
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.
Useful functions for debugging IO and PNP managers:
PipDumpDeviceNodes() - displays information about a node(s) in the device tree;
PipDumpResourceRequirementsList() - displays information about a Io List;
PipDumpCmResourceList() - displays information about a Cm List
The tree list of devices (DEVICE_NODE structures) is perhaps the main one in the PnP manager. They also store information about the hardware resources required and assigned to devices.
These functions can help with debugging. For example, you can call PipDumpDeviceNodes() before and after device enumeration and compare the resulting information.
For PipDumpDeviceNodes() it is possible to optionally output:
- allocated resources and boot configuration resources
- resources required
- translated resources
It is possible to displays both a single node and the entire tree.
Optionally, you can display child nodes.
The information output format for resource lists is maximally compressed, since often the only debugging port is a monitor.
The DebugLevel parameter allows dumping in two modes:
0 - unconditional;
1 - if NDEBUG is not defined in "debug.c".
The SYSTEM_PD_SIZE constant should not be used to determine the page boundary for page tables. It is better to use the portable MiIsPteOnPdeBoundary() macro for this.
which implements the required functionality.
ntdll and ntoskrnl now have a wrapper for this, with SEH.
This protects the function against malformed / bad images,
whilst still being able to use the code in freeldr et al.
Idea from Thomas.
CORE-14857
- Improve the device action worker to support more than just a single action
- Move the action queue code from IoInvalidateDeviceRelations to a new function IopQueueDeviceAction.
Probe the data before allocating a copy buffer. Otherwise NtSetValueKey returns an unexpected status code in case of too large data size.
This fixes the NtSetValueKey ntdll api tests.
The initializer for WmipGuidObjectType does not set UseDefaultObject,
and it's possible for user mode to obtain a handle to a GUID object
with SYNCHRONIZE access. Therefore that handle can be passed to
NtWaitForSingleObject, which means it must start with a DISPATCHER_HEADER.
