CmCheckRegistry is a function that provides the necessary validation checks for a registry hive. This function usually comes into action when logs have been replayed for example, or when a registry hive internals have changed such as when saving a key, loading a key, etc.
This commit implements the whole Check Registry infrastructure (cmcheck.c) in CMLIB library for ease of usage and wide accessibility across parts of the OS. In addition, two more functions for registry checks are also implemented -- HvValidateHive and HvValidateBin.
Instead of having the CmCheckRegistry implementation in the kernel, it's better to have it in the Configuration Manager library instead (aka CMLIB). The benefits of having it in the library are the following:
- CmCheckRegistry can be used in FreeLdr to fix the SYSTEM hive
- It can be used on-demand in the kernel
- It can be used for offline registry repair tools
- It makes the underlying CmCheckRegistry implementation code debug-able in user mode
CORE-9195
CORE-6762
This implements cmheal.c file which provides the basic registry self-heal infrastructure needed by the public CmCheckRegistry function. The infrastructure provides a range of various self-heal helpers for the hive, such as subkey, class, values and node healing functions.
Add these NTSTATUS codes in the CMLIB library. STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER will be used mostly for HvInitialize function, STATUS_REGISTRY_IO_FAILED for whatever routines that deal with reading or writing into a hive file.
This header is included by ntoskrnl which effectively disabled all PAGED_CODE checks since 2015. Thanks Alex.
Instead define _BLDR_ when building cmlib, which will avoid trying to import KeGetCurrentIrql()
In principle there should be different get-cell routines, depending
on the type of the hive (given by the OperationType parameter of
HvInitialize): for flat hives, memory-mapped hives, etc.
For now in ReactOS we only support a restricted subset of these,
therefore we are still happy with a single get-cell callback...
This may change in the future.
