Spinlocks are not reentrant (and this is done a lot), using them forces us to have
an horrible hack in the kernel, which unschedules threads which are at DISPATCH_LEVEL
thus allowing another thread to take ownership of the spinlock while the unscheduled
thread should already hold it.
CORE-6473
This speeds up boot a bit and also decreases binary size.
- Introduce a new CMake define ISAPNP_ENABLE that defined only in x86 platform
when ISA PnP is supported.
NEVER DO THIS! It is guaranteed to be wrong. Instead always individually pack single structures that need packing.
This fixes USB mouse on 64 bit builds.
In addition to that, here are some stuff done in this commit whilst testing:
- ICIF_QUERY_SIZE_VARIABLE and friends were badly misused, they should be used only when an information class whose information length size is dyanmic and not fixed. By removing such flags from erroneous classes, this fixes the STATUS_INFO_LENGTH_MISMATCH testcases.
- Use CHAR instead of UCHAR for classes that do not need alignment probing, as every other class in the table do, for the sake of consistency.
- ProcessEnableAlignmentFaultFixup uses BOOLEAN as type size, not CHAR. This fixes a testcase failure on ROS.
- Check for information length size before proceeding further on querying the process' cookie information.
- ProcessHandleTracing wants an alignment of a ULONG, not CHAR.
- Move PROCESS_LDT_INFORMATION and PROCESS_LDT_SIZE outside of NTOS_MODE_USER macro case. This fixes a compilation issue when enabling the alignment probing. My mistake of having them inside NTOS_MODE_USER case, sorry.
- On functions like NtQueryInformationThread and the Process equivalent, complete probing is not done at the beginning of the function, complete probing including if the buffer is writable alongside with datatype misalignment check that is. Instead such check is done on each information class case basis. With that said, we have to explicitly tell DefaultQueryInfoBufferCheck if we want a complete probing or not initially.
KiSetTrapContext is an asm wrapper around RtlSetUnwindContext, which first stores an exception frame to assure that all non-volatile registers were put on the stack, then calls RtlSetUnwindContext to update their first saving positions on the stack and finally restore the exception frame to potentially load any updated registers, that haven't been saved elsewhere on the stack.
RtlpCaptureNonVolatileContextPointers walks the stack and captures the addresses of all non-volatile registers on the stack, when they have been saved first. This is needed to be able to fix up the non-volatile on a system call, which doesn't capture non-volatiles, but relies on them to be restored by the callees.
Instead of only checking for the TargetFrame, also check for a mode change, i.e. RIP went from kernel to user, in which case the target frame was not reached yet, because it was too large, but processing can't continue here.
RtlSetUnwindContext uses RtlpCaptureNonVolatileContextPointers to set the non-volatile registers in the the stack. They will be picked up, when returning back or unwinding, e.g. to the system call handler.
CORE-17601
Dynamically load SetThreadUILanguage(), so as to support systems where this API is not present.
Hopefully implemented in a thread-safe manner.
