ReactOS 0.3.0 RC2 Released

[Brandon Turner]

I just released 0.3.0 RC2 to SourceForge and you can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6553&package_id=…

This is our final sanity check before we release the final version.  I 
am planing on uploading the release to to SourceForge on Wednesday night 
and then Thursday morning will be our official release time.  Frik or 
MGW, will you be able to update the home page on Thursday morning?  If 
not let me know and I can do it if we have a graphic ready. 

Note to all devs and contributors: 
We need a change log!  I have made a svn log for all commits.  It can be 
found at http://www.brandonturner.org/log.txt .  Please let me know if 
you are going to do your own change log, otherwise I will do a change 
log for everyone else on Tuesday night, but no promises I will find 
everything you did.

Hello all,
I just fired this up and to my surprise, I see two superficial but blatant
bugs. The volume applet being messed up, and the new folder names being
messed up as you create them.
http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1593
http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1754

I wish I could fix these myself, but might I suggest we add the necessary
polish to the .3 release to fix these bugs before the release?

[Michael Wirth]

I will be able to do it on Thursday morning (GMT +1 time).

Greetings
Michael

I have updated the website already on monday 10:00 (am) MEZ (GMT+1).
It's just a matter of two variables which need to be changed and
generate the related pages.
Additionally, I add some new screenshots to the screenshot page.

Just for record: there is no need to change/upload pics for every
version anymore, the "button" are no text based and can also be
translated with RosCMS to foreign languages.

To sum up: I have already updated the website.

I finished my log, can you add it to the WIKI in the right sections?
Almost 99% of these go into Kernel, and the ones that don't are clearly
marked as such.

>  >>>> 
- Clear Tcb->Win32Thread
during win32 cleanup.
- Allow TLS usage for 1088 TLS slots, fixes part of Bug 191. Patch by
Filip Navara (navaraf(a)reactos.com)
- Added support for NTLDR style freeloader GUI.
- Win32k Header Rewrite
- Fix kernel-mode executive atom implementation (mostly add SEH and tidy
up the code). Then fix kernel32 implementation which was sending
incorrect sizes, and also re-factored the entire code, since most
functions were quatriplicated.
- Fixed a bug in RtlCreateAtomTable.
- Fixed bugs in Profile implementation. Add support for segmented
profile objects.
- Add SEH to NtRaiseHardError.
- Fix a bug in NtSetSystemTime.
- Implemented InterlockedBitTestAndReset, InterlockedBitTestAndSet,
InterlockedExchangeAddSizeT.
- Reimplemented Rundown Protection.
- Implement YieldProcessor
- KiAcquireSpinlock and KiReleaseSpinLock should be no-op functions on
uniprocessor machines.
- KiReleaseSpinLock does not need interlocked access to release the lock.
- Use portable code for KiAcquireSpinLock. Also use interlocked bit
operations since they are faster.
- Rewrite Executive Interlocked Functions to actually work as supposed
and also immensly increase their speed, most notably on non-SMP machines.
- Fix shamefully dangerously broken Work Thread/Queue/Item implementation.
- Implement a worker thread balance set manager.
- Implement Pushlocks.
- Optimized the dispatcher lock. It is now gone on non-SMP systems and
IRQL is raised or lowered instead.
- Fixed some places which werne't setting the dispatcher header's size
member correctly.
- Created separate cases for satisfying mutant, non-mutant and generic
objects, to optimize wait satisfaction.
-  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.
- Implemented Queued and In-Stack Queued Spinlocks (at DPC-Level).
- Separate UP and MP spinlock functions.
- Optimize UP spinlock functions so they don't call ntoskrnl anymore and
only raise/lower irql.
- Implemented Queued Spinlocks and In-Stack Queued Spinlocks for UP
machines.
- Implemented KeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLock,
KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLock, KeAcquireQueuedSpinLock,
KeReleaseQueuedSpinLock, KeTryToAcquireQueuedSpinLock,
KeTryToAcquireQueuedSpinLockRaiseToSynch,
KeAcquireQueuedSpinLockRaisetoSynch.
- Rewrite ERESOURCE implementation.
- Fix some bugs in Kernel Queue implementation
- Handle special case where we have kernel apcs pending and your
previous irql was below APC_LEVEL during the wait code.
- Set the right Thread->WaitTime dring waits
- Initialize WaitBlock->Thread during thread creation.
- Make APCs queuable for the thread after it's created
- Enable Timer Block optimization since it works now. This allows us not
to always set-up for each wait, since most of its fields can remain static.
- Properly link wait block together with the waitlist of the timer.
- MSVC backend/complation improvements. Made almost every single module
build with MSVC.
- Added PCH (Precompiled Header) usage to almost every module.
- Remove KiServiceCheck and implement PsConvertToGuiThread in its place.
Has support for detecting and returning errors in case of invalid cases,
currently disabled code for doing the required 4kb->12kb stack
conversion, and handling certain failures.
- Fix MmCreateKernelStack to actually take into account the GuiStack
parameter.
- Implement KeSwitchKernelStack
- Enable code in PsConvertToGuiThread to create a new stack and switch
to it. GUI Threads now get the 60KB of kernel stack space they deserve.
- Implement (although non-optimally) MmGrowKernelStack for future use.
- Fix some bugs in KiCallUserMode
- Fix probably one of the most devastating hidden ROS bugs currently in
trunk. KWAIT_BLOCK's WaitType was defined as USHORT instead of UCHAR,
causing a KeWaitForMultipleObjects of 2 or more objects to overwrite the
Thread's PreviousMode (an effect of this is that 99% of user-mode
callbacks from win32k were being done with the mode set to Kernel-Mode
instead of UserMode). A KeWaitForMultipleObjects of 3 or more objects,
or the timer object itself in some cases would cause this conflict to
occur with the ResourceIndex member, potentially corrupting the
ERESOURCE owner table in my updated implementation.
- Rewrite usermode callbacks. These changes should greatly optimize
graphic operations. After these changes, my "idle" CPU Usage in taskmgr
went from 7-8% to 4-5%, while on the performace page, from 15-18% to 10-13%.
- Set KernelApcPending == TRUE in KiCheckForKernelApcDelivery if we are
at APC_LEVEL.
- Properly create, grow and delete the kernel stack. Fixes potential
memory leaks introduced in 20806.
- Fix flaw in win32k hardware message queue which used KMUTEX instead of
KMUTANT, thus double-disabling Kernel APCs during the parsing of the
queue, which would result in actually deliving hardware message
callbacks with Kernel APCs disabled when going to user-mode. This was
detected when my new user-mode callback rewrite added checks for this
situation, and it originally caused a bugcheck. Since the message queue
code is now fixed, the bugcheck has been re-enabled, hopefully no other
such violations will be detected.
- Update KeContextToTrapFrame to support separate ContextFlags
parameters in the scenario where we want to convert more then the
Context's flag specify
- Rename some of the internal FPU flags to external names and make them
global.
- Improve context creation of new threads to initialize the virgin NPX
state for new threads, to clear DR debug registers, to properly convert
the context to a trap frame, to set the right segment registers, to set
the debugging mark in the trap frame, and to properly set the initial
eflags.
- Don't bother with clearing the DRs in the CONTEXT, just clear DR7 in
the trap frame after the conversion.
- Fix some nasty context switch bugs:
  * We did not update the KPCR's stacklimit/initialstack with the new
thread's stacklimit/initialstack.
  * We always assumed V86 frame bias in KeInitializeThreadContext.
  * We did not properly update ESP0 during context switch, to make space
for the NPX frame and V86 bias.
  * We did not update fs:18h to point to the new TEB.
  * We did not clear out GS when switching processes, nor update the
TSS's cr3.
  * If a new LDT was being updated, we over-wrote EBP (which was
supposed to point to the TSS) by the GDT pointer.
  * We used a push/pop esp0 hack which hid the fact we never updated esp0.
- Fix a bad bug in the system call handler and interrupt/trap exit code
which was causing a jump to the incorrect epilogue if V86 mode was detected.
- Make traps use the shared EOI (End Of Interrupt) helper instead of
their own custom trap exit code.
- Share some more trap code.
- Increase total system call count in KPCR for performance counter.
- Increase per-systemcall call count in the KiServiceTable if it was
specified, for performance counters.
- Add sanity checks to system call handler to detect.
- Detect if exiting with incorrect IF state.
- Detect if exiting with broken stack.
- Detect if exiting with a broken trap frame (note: Disabled in
Kei386EoiHelper beause this raises the assertion. The trap frame is
valid, it's just that some old code is using DbgArgMark for other
purposes. Will fix.)
- Detect if exiting with invalid FS.
- Detect if exiting with invalid Exception List.
- Detect if exiting with incorrect exception list and/or incorrect
previmous mode on the stack (to detect macro/calling type mismatch).
- Use MmUserProbeAddress in the system call handler to verify the
parametes we got from user-mode are valid and return
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION if the check fails.
- Handle failure after PsConvertToGuiThread and return
STATUS_INVALID_SYSTEM_SERVICE and/or FALSE and/or -1 on failure.
- Made MCE/XMMI interrupts unexpected on-boot.

Can you shorted this down to "I fixed alot of S&@*!"

No! LOL!
Good job!

Thank you very much sir!

As you might have noticed we are going to wait a bit on the final 
release, but I will ensure that your comments are added to the final 
change log.

Once again, thank you.

I filtered the log a bit (removed  160kb of useless information), so  
here is the updated one: http://svn.reactos.org/temp/changelog_0.3.0.rar

I even started to sort log messages per user, but it's too big task.

Devs! Would you please do your changelogs similar to how Alex did  
his? It would speed up the process A LOT.

Thank you.

Greatlord is doing his own.  I'll do my own too, as stated, I'll make 
sure we get all the changes in before final release.

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.

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.

- Added support for NTLDR style freeloader GUI. To enable, edit freeldr.ini and add:
ShowTime=No
MinimalUI=Yes
MenuBox=No
CenterMenu=No
TimeText=Seconds until highlighted choice will be started automatically:  
Also make sure the following are set:
MenuTextColor=Gray
MenuColor=Black
TextColor=Gray
SelectedTextColor=Black
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.

******************
 ion: 
- 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.
  * Fix ETHREAD offsets.
  * Fix RtlIsNameLegalDOS8Dot3 definition.
  * Move splay tree defines to IFS.

tested. The shared paths and block/unblock are still untested and may probably contain
bugs. Pushlocks are not yet used in the kernel and they won't be until all paths are
tested and validated.

ExfTryToWakePushLock, ExfReleasePushLock, ExfReleasePushLockExclusive,
ExfReleasePushLockShared, ExfUnblockPushLock.

- Made inlined functions in ke/wait.c macros, because they weren't being inlined.
- Created separate cases for satisfying mutant, non-mutant and generic objects, to
optimize wait satisfaction.
- Fixed some places which werne't setting the dispatcher header's size member
correctly.
- 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.
