FreeLoader now multiboot compliant
by Ge van Geldorp 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Freeldr can now be loaded as a "multiboot kernel" by multiboot compliant bootstrap loaders like Grub. To load FreeLoader from Grub use something like this: title ReactOS root (hd0,0) kernel /freeldr.sys You can also override settings in the [FREELOADER] section of freeldr.ini by passing them on the command like, like this: title ReactOS root (hd0,0) kernel /freeldr.sys DefaultOS=ReactOS TimeOut=0 title ReactOS (Debug) root (hd0,0) kernel /freeldr.sys DefaultOS=ReactOS_Debug TimeOut=0 After selecting "ReactOS" from the Grub menu you won't have to make another selection on the freeldr menu because of the "TimeOut=0" Gé van Geldorp.

Guarded mutex
by Aliberti Emanuele 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

I found a note, in Kernel Mustard's (Steve Dispensa) blog, about guarded mutexes, which is a completely new synchronization object to me. typedef struct _KGUARDED_MUTEX ULONG Count; PKTHREAD Owner; ULONG Contention; KGATE Gate; WORD KernelApcDisable; WORD SpecialApcDisable; ULONG CombinedApcDisable; } KGUARDED_MUTEX, *PKGUARDED_MUTEX; What are they? KM says they are less expensive than FAST_MUTEXes. By the way, what is a KGATE? Emanuele

ros on a multiprocessor system
by Hartmut Birr 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

Hi, currently I'm trying to get ros to work on a multiprocessor system. There exist many problems. The major problem is a dead lock, which occurs if different processors try to acquire the DispatcherDatabaseLock and the PiThreadLock. Sometimes, it seems, the sequence to acquire the two locks is different. It would be nice, if someone can look for this problem. - Hartmut

FreeLdr: FsOpenVolume

Hi, since there have been several reports of the ROS CDs failing to boot with the "Invalid partition table magic" message I though if the line 85 in freeldr/fs/fs.c can be the cause.

FPU saving + V86 problem - not sure how to solve it
by Anich Gregor 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi! I have a problem with my FPU state saving changes and v86 mode. In ke/i386/v86m_sup.S are the functions which enter/leave v86 mode... Ki386RetToV86Mode enters v86 mode. It changes CurrentThread->InitialStack and TSS->Esp0 to %esp to make the exception handler run below the used stack and not overwrite it. The exception handler (KeV86GPF) uses a PKV86M_TRAP_FRAME, which contains a KTRAP_FRAME at the beginning and some additional info behind. This additional info is the data on the stack of Ki386RetToV86Mode, since it sets TSS->Esp0 to %esp, the CPU will push the trap-frame below when an exception is raised and the additional info will be after the trap-frame. The problem is that for reserving a FX_SAVE_AREA at the top of the kernel-stack (without changing the KTHREAD->InitialStack value) i changed tskswitch.S to set TSS->Esp0 to NewThread->InitialStack - sizeof(FX_SAVE_AREA), not NewThread->InitialStack. Now if it's switching away and back to a v86 task TSS->Esp0 will be sizeof(FX_SAVE_AREA) less than before, and the V86 exception handler will be unable to find the additional info from Ki386RetToV86Mode's original stack. I am not sure how to solve it. I think it could be done by 1) Adding another variable somewhere (or maybe there is already one somewhere which is meant to be used for this) for the exception-handler stack of the thread, which can then be used by tskswitch.S to update TSS->Esp0. 2) only substract sizeof(FX_SAVE_AREA) from InitalStack for setting up TSS->Esp0 in tskswitch.S if the VM bit of the EFLAGS is not set. Problem is that the CPU unsets the VM bit if using protected-mode exception handlers for v86 tasks, so we would need to get a copy (or pointer to) the eflags pushed by the CPU for the IRQ handler into tskswitch.S (change PsDispatchThread/PsDispatchThreadNoLock prototypes) All this assumes that the FPU would never be used in V86 mode (and I hope that this assumption is correct ;-)) Any suggestions are welcome. - blight

PDNS_RECORDA
by Carlos Manuel Duclos Vergara 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hi, now I have some spare time I'm back with gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr (I don't know if they are still needed but according to my last update of my cvs tree they are still unimplemented), I was not able to find the declaration of PDNS_RECORDA. It would be nice to know where can I find it or at least how can I operate with it. My research and guess makes me believe that I should probably deal with DNS_STRUCT, but I think that would be better to have some functionality to avoid messing with the whole structure. Am I totally lost here? bye -- Carlos Manuel Duclos Vergara carlos(a)embedded.cl

Packaging ros' files
by Sebastian Schmidt 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Moin! What do you think about a package system for reactos' files? We could create seperate packages for, e.g. ntoskrnl, explorer, drivers-networking, drivers-video, etc. pp., so it would be more easy for users to upgrade. (ros-get update and ros-get upgrade or so) I'd like to implement this, but I still have some open questions: - What about overwriting files which are currently "in use"? Is it possible to overwrite them w/o rebooting? - We need a mechanism for postinst scripts, which update registry values and so on. cmd.exe scripts are ugly, as VBScript is. bash on windows/reactos is IMHO also not the best way. Maybe the package installation system (the dpkg/rpm equivalent) could parse a special script file with the syntax like NetInstall Script. What to you think?
