WMC

Core

Bootsectors

  • Implement a function pollchar_and_empty to make sure that the keyboard buffer is empty before we pass control to the boot loader (Colin Finck)
  • Get rid of another procedure for getting a character, can be replaced with two instructions in the only place where this procedure was called (Colin Finck)

Bootloader (FreeLoader)

  • Remove two unnecessary boot types (Windows2000 and WindowsXP), and add ReactOSSetup2 type for WinLdr-style setup loader. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Implement a better setupldr called setupldr2, which implements NT-compatible bootloading. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Port freeldr to amd64 architecture (Timo Kreuzer)

Kernel and Executive (NTOSKRNL)

CC

  • ReactOS can now be installed on systems with as little as 24 MB. Memory usage after boot is down by 20-30MB. Application installations will use/require/leak less memory (Aleksey Bragin, Bug #703)

EX

  • Return full process image names in SystemProcessInformation when possible, instead of limiting to 32 bytes (Aleksey Bragin, Evgeniy Boltik, Bug #4087)
  • If looking up a long name for a process failed, use short one. This fixes the issue with "System" not being displayed correctly (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Round up process name length more correctly (Aleksey Bragin, Evgeniy Boltik)
  • Make SystemProcessInformation return required size if buffer is too small. Matches Windows XP behavior. (Aleksey Bragin, Evgeniy Boltik)
  • Add privileges check to SystemTimeAdjustmentInformation SSI routine. (Aleksey Bragin, Dmitry Chapyshev)
  • Always capture fast reference values on the stack since a fast reference is by nature volatile (Aleksey Bragin)
  • NtSetSystemInformation: Don't leak the copied string when being called from user mode. (Timo Kreuzer)
  • NtSetSystemInformation: Don't recursively call ZwSetSystemInformation, instead continue the normal path. (Timo Kreuzer)

IO

  • If a driver has no Tag specified it should be defaulted to the max ULONG value, so it gets loaded after all drivers with correct tags. This fixes a problem of null.sys and beep.sys loading up to TagCount (20 for Base group) times during each boot. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Consider Pnp initialized after system drivers finished loading. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Fix reinitialization routines callbacks: processing reinit callbacks after EVERY driver load, including boot drivers is wrong. The sequence should be init boot drivers, call boot drivers reinit routines, load pnp drivers, load system drivers, call reinit routines. And then, when Pnp is initialized, call reinit routines after every driver module load event. (Aleksey Bragin)

KD

  • Synchronize debug messages output to the serial port. Now each line of a debug log is printed synchronously, as it is NT. In future, this should be converted to a generic spinlock for all registered KD handlers (Aleksey Bragin)

KDBG

  • Load debug symbols if compiled with DBG, but don't load if booting with less than 96Mb of RAM. (Aleksey Bragin)

KE

MM

  • Don't match pool tags in ExFreePool if Tag is 0. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Fix a typo: set a value, not a bit. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Implement a new Hyperspace Mapping Interface: (ReactOS Portable Systems Group)
    • The new interface is portable and much faster than before. For example, unmapping a hyperpage is almost a one-line operation.
    • The new interface is also thread-safe and uses the EPROCESS hyperspace spinlock.
    • However, in order to isolate from React Mm internals, the Hyper IRQL and Process are stored as globals, so this will not work on SMP.
    • For now, mapping vs. zero PTEs are not treated differently, but the two interfaces have been separated pending future work.
    • Performance tests with _rdtsc resulted in an improvement of over 300% compared to the old interface.
    • Hyperspace mappings are frequent, so the improvement is noticeable during startup (3/10ths of a second).
    • This also fixes incorrect initializtion of hyperspace -- pages were zeroed out (which requires hyperspace) before hyperspace was created.
  • Call ExFreePoolWithTag with 0 tag from ExFreePool instead of vice versa, bugcheck system, when Block is not inside any pool. (Timo Kreuzer)
  • Allow freeing a NULL pointer with ExFreePoolWithTag. (Timo Kreuzer)

OB

  • Don't require ULONG alignment on OBJECT_HANDLE_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION structure since it is just made of BOOLEANs. (Jeffrey Morlan)
  • Refactor Fast Reference implementation into a generic module with init/acquire/release/compare/insert interfaces, and update the executive callback & object manager referencing code to use it (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Make TOKEN pointer in OBJECT_HEADER a fast reference, just like on Windows (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Update SD cache code to treat it as such (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Improves performance by 500% during security checks – noticeable impact during large file or registry transfer operations (Aleksey Bragin)

PS

  • Change ExitStatus of Process from STATUS_TIMEOUT to STATUS_PENDING (STILL_ACTIVE). (Michael Martin, bug #3135)
  • Don't reference target process in the beginning of NtQueryInformationProcess but check buffer's length first (Aleksey Bragin, Dmitry Chapyshev)

SE

Run Time Library (RTL)

  • Remove code for updating the drive-specific current-directory environment variable from RtlSetCurrentDirectory_U; belongs in the CRT instead. (Jeffrey Morlan)
  • Add another heap freelist for small blocks, making mingw32-make much faster. (Jeffrey Morlan)
  • RtlSetEnvironmentVariable: Removing a variable that didn't exist in the first place should still return STATUS_SUCCESS. (Jeffrey Morlan)
  • Removing a variable can be done by using a pointer to a UNICODE_STRING with a NULL Buffer as the value, as well as just passing NULL as the value. (Jeffrey Morlan)
  • Implement RtlInterlockedPopEntrySList, RtlInterlockedPushEntrySList and RtlInterlockedFlushSList in assembly. (Timo Kreuzer)

HID

  • Move part of the 1st stage pnp hacks to kbdclass driver. Previously, the driver (i8042prt) relied on kbdclass's normal reinit routine being called BEFORE a registered boot reinit routine, which is certainly wrong on a real NT system. Now, the correct order is ensured, and it is not relying on a broken reinit calling order in ReactOS anymore (Aleksey Bragin)

PORTCLS

SYSAUDIO

TCPIP

USB

  • Fix a horrible bug, when DriverEntry was not having __stdcall calling convention. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Scan three PCI buses in the legacy USB driver instead of 2. Fixes UHCI/EHCI detection issues in VMWare Workstation 6.5 and higher (Emulated UHCI is located on bus 2). (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Actually advance current item pointer to the next one when traversing a linked list. Fixes an infinite loop when building USB interface. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Rename a variable so it doesn't conflict with a reserved keyword. (Aleksey Bragin)

  • Move USB keyboard LEDs managing code into an own function. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Unhack usb mouse driver after endpoint parsing code was corrected. (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Cleanup usb mouse driver source code, make its structure similar to the usb keyboard driver. (Aleksey Bragin)

Static Libraries

  • Use bitmap's DIB palette, if it exists. Fixes problems described in bug 4147 (Evgeniy Boltik, bug #4147)
  • Brush's origin is always (0,0) of a window, not a screen. Offset it accordingly in NtGdiStretchBlt.(Evgeniy Boltik, bug #4147)
  • EngStretchBltROP expects a ROP4 code, but SRCCOPY is ROP3. Convert it accordingly. (Evgeniy Boltik, bug #4156)
  • Move clipping from StretchBlt to Eng. (Evgeniy Boltik, bug #4156)

  • Don't provide region size when freeing virtual memory, confirmed by MSDN. (Aleksey Bragin, Evgeniy Boltik)
  • Remove a header structure from memory regions allocated with EngAllocUserMem. Modern versions of Windows (at least XP and higher) don't do this and instead save this information elsewhere.

Services

TelnetD

Umpnpmgr

  • Use rundll32.exe and CreateProcessAsUserW to call ClientSideInstallW for installing new devices and supply all required information over a named pipe.
