Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS 0.3.0 RC2 Released

[Brandon Turner]

How did you cut that log down?  By hand?  Back in 0.2.8 I made this hack 
program to sort through the log for me and find commits which needed to 
go into the change log.  I ran it on the 0.3.0 log and it generated the 
attached log.

******************
 arty: 
Patch to fix bugcheck at exit for various TCP wielding apps.  This puts in
a work item for socket shutdown that decouples the IRP cancel from the actual
(PASSIVE_LEVEL) tcp accounting chores.
Uses the CHEW static lib that I put in to gather workitem code into one nice
sane happy place.
It seems like doing the same to loopback.c is detrimental and I suspect that
it's due to nasty reentrancy issues in our code.  I'll likely adapt chew lib
so we can use it there too.

SelectedColor=Gray.
- Also made the boot-up screen black, not blue, since that's the actual color it's
been after NT4. If booting without NOGUIBOOT, this results in a much nicer transition to
the boot screen (especially if using the NTLDR theme)
- Some other minor changes done to simplify transitions while booting. Hoping for filip to
finish his Bootvid patch to remove the last annoying gui->text->gui switch near the
end :).
******************
 ion: 
- Major Win32k Header Cleanup: Add ntgdi.h based on latest Platform SDK Public header. It
contains the official definitions for NtGdi APIs.
- Added ntgdityps.h for structures needed to use the header (which were sadly not
publically shipped).
- Removed internal win32k header data from public headers and put it to internal win32k
headers.
- Fixed ntuser.h STDCALL->WINAPI.
- Added ntgdihdl.h for shared GDI Handle information between gdi32/win32k
- Added ntusrtyp.h for some shared NtUser types.
- Added ntgdibad.h which contains all non-compatible NtGdi prototypes, along with a
detailed comment for each, and information on how to fix it. I had a 20 000+ line patch
fixing all these issues, but it contained many bugs and I scrapped it in place for this
approach, which while dirtier at first, simplifies the number of changes needed so that
others can work on it as well.
- Fixed some gdi32/win32k/user32 header issues.

 ion: 
- Rewrite Executive Interlocked Functions to actually work as supposed and also immensly
increase their speed, most notably on non-SMP machines:
  * The functions now disable interrupts as they should. This is a core functionality of
the ExInterlocked functions which we did not do.
  * The functions now preserve EFLAGS as they should. This is another core functionality
and point of ExInterlocked functions, which we did not do.
  * Use KiAcquire/ReleaseSpinlock equivalents instead of going through HAL. Also make them
macros which can be later used in other assembly files.
  * Write optimized versions for non-SMP machines. Namely, the spinlock macros are coded
to be no-ops on UP machines, since they are not needed.
  * Write all functions in assembly, so we can cleanly optimize them and properly
restore/save EFLAGS and use CLI.
- Use the right interlocked macro in guarded mutex implementation.
- Fix export of Exi386InterlockedExchangeUlong
- Use documented EFLAGS definition instead of hard-coded value in some interlocked
functions.

- Fix shamefully dangerously broken Work Thread/Queue/Item implementation:
  * Do not pollute the kernel with 10 real-time threads and 5 high-priority threads in
order to manage work items. Work threads are very-low priority (< 7) and should never
pre-empt userthreads like they do now. 1 priority 7, 5 priority 5 and 3 priority 4 threads
are now properly created.
  * Implement a worker thread balance set manager. On SMP systems, it is able to determine
when a new thread should be allocate to execute on a free CPU. On both UP and MP, it is
also able to detect if a work queue has deadlocked, and will allocate new dynamic threads
to unfreeze the queue.
  * Add check for threads returning with APC disabled, and re-enable APCs if this happend.
This hack is used in NT for broken drivers.
  * Lots of code changes to support dynamic threads, which:
    - Can terminate.
    - Use a 10 minute timeout on the kernel queue.
  * Add skeleton code for swapping worker thread stacks as well as worker thread shutdown
(not yet implemented).
  * Add WORKER_INVALID bugcheck definition.
  * These changes seem to make ROS a lot more responsive.
- NDK: 
  * Make more compatible with MS IFS
  * Fix EX_WORK_QUEUE definition.

- Fixed formatting in ke/wait.c
- Fixed a case in KiCheckAlertability: we also need to check if the thread is alerted in
Kernel-Mode, even if the wait mode given was user and user-mode is not alerted.
- Fixed signaling checks across the wait code and removed KiCheckIfObjectSignaled. We must
not consider the mutant as signaled if SignalState is = 1.
- Fix code to check if the wait blocks' status is STATUS_TIMEOUT, because we do not
need to check for signal state in that case.
- Removed the exports for internal dispatcher lock routines.

******************
 ion: 
- The DDK disables usage of _enable/_disable so that driver devs don't use them. Since
the NDK is the home of undocumented things that drivers shouldn't use, including
halfuncs.h will re-enable the intrinsics.
- Add the intrinsics to the w32api as well so that code which uses them can compile on
both msvc and gcc.
- Make DPRINT work on non-DBG msvc builds.

Patch by Raimonds Praude raimonds.praude at sets.lv
Could not set the text limit for combo box. An application sent CB_LIMITTEXT
text message, but it was not being processed. Now it is possible to set
the text limit, 5 or 8 symbols, for instance.
CB_LIMITTEXT message processing was added into ComboWndProc_common function
in combo.c file.
