- Many drivers on amd64 are picking system uptime, interrupt time and ticks
via global data structure instead of calling functions for performance
reasons. For now just patch such address so driver will not trigger page
fault when trying to access such data. In future, additional callout may
be added to update data in periodic intervals.
- On amd64 we need to allocate "shadow space" on stack before calling any
function.

Now the NDISulator supports NDIS USB drivers that it've tested with
devices as follows:
- Anygate XM-142 (Conexant)
- Netgear WG111v2 (Realtek)
- U-Khan UW-2054u (Marvell)
- Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20 (Realtek)
- ipTIME G054U2 (Ralink)
- UNiCORN WL-54G (ZyDAS)
- ZyXEL G-200v2 (ZyDAS)
All of them succeeded to attach and worked though there are still some
problems that it's expected to be solved.
To use NDIS USB support, you should rebuild and install ndiscvt(8) and
if you encounter a problem to attach please set `hw.ndisusb.halt' to
0 then retry.
I expect no changes of the NDIS code for PCI, PCMCIA devices.

Remove duplication by having NdisGetCurrentSystemTime call ntoskrnl_time.
Intel's web site requires some minor tweaks to get it to work:
- The driver seems to have been released with full WMI tracing enabled,
and makes references to some WMI APIs, namely IoWMIRegistrationControl(),
WmiQueryTraceInformation() and WmiTraceMessage(). Only the first
one is ever called (during intialization). These have been implemented
as do-nothing stubs for now. Also added a definition for STATUS_NOT_FOUND
to ntoskrnl_var.h, which is used as a return code for one of the WMI
routines.
- The driver references KeRaiseIrqlToDpcLevel() and KeLowerIrql()
(the latter as a function, which is unusual because normally
KeLowerIrql() is a macro in the Windows DDK that calls KfLowewIrql()).
I'm not sure why these are being called since they're not really
part of WDM. Presumeably they're being used for backwards
compatibility with old versions of Windows. These have been
implemented in subr_hal.c. (Note that they're _stdcall routines
instead of _fastcall.)
- When querying the OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST OID to get a BSSID list,
you don't know ahead of time how many networks the NIC has found
during scanning, so you're allowed to pass 0 as the list length.
This should cause the driver to return an 'insufficient resources'
error and set the length to indicate how many bytes are actually
needed. However for some reason, the Intel driver does not honor
this convention: if you give it a length of 0, it returns some
other error and doesn't tell you how much space is really needed.
To get around this, if using a length of 0 yields anything besides
the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a length of 64K.
This is similar to the hack that wpa_supplicant uses when doing
a BSSID list query.
and ndis_halt_nic(). It's been disabled for some time anyway, and
it turns out there's a possible deadlock in NdisMInitializeTimer() when
acquiring the miniport block lock to modify the timer list: it's
possible for a driver to call NdisMInitializeTimer() when the miniport
block lock has already been acquired by an earlier piece of code. You
can't acquire the same spinlock twice, so this can deadlock.
Also, implement MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace(), and make
NdisMMapIoSpace() and NdisMUnmapIoSpace() use them. There are some
drivers that want MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace() so that they can
map arbitrary register spaces not directly associated with their
device resources. For example, there's an Atheros driver for
a miniPci card (0x168C:0x1014) on the IBM Thinkpad x40 that wants
to map some I/O spaces at 0xF00000 and 0xE00000 which are held by
the acpi0 device. I don't know what it wants these ranges for,
but if it can't map and access them, the MiniportInitialize() method
fails.
is KeRaiseIrql(newirql, &oldirql), not oldirql = KeRaiseIrql(newirql).
(The macro ultimately translates to KfRaiseIrql() which does use
the latter API, so this has no effect on generated code.)
Also, wait for thread termination the right way: kthread_exit()
will ultimately do a wakeup(td->td_proc). This is the event we
should wait on. Eliminate the previous synchronization machinery
for this since it was never guaranteed to work correctly.
- Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't
run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held).
- In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in
a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because
ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This
implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is
being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding
any locks.
- Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original
approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning
the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when
two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable
interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the
NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr())
and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or
remove interrupts from the dispatch list.
- Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock().
- Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock
API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin().
- Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual
packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines
to manage the packet queue.
- Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create
a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation
says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is
a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.)
- Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl.
- Add the following conditional debugging code:
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers
NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long
- In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last,
since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be
started second and shut down next to last.
First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling
implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in
favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was
really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as
Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that
wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If
a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block
any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it,
in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit
and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on
cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher
mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try
acquiring the spinlock.
Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all
threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with
the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes.
This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do
things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which
you're allowed to do in Windows.
Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling
and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep().
This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can
tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you
instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this
priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The
new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better
duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart.
I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code.
Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the
same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(),
which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(),
was also modified to perform a similar test.
I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names
as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and
RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item.
I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread()
and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic
did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to
queue up another DPC. It works correctly now.
I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and
modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to
use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme
used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko,
and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In
the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.)
NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject()
and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly
to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot
any problems with it that may arise.)
KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and
does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and
queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK
documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call
KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't.
The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API
directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in
that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer
code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using
timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails
to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race
is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly
seems to fix it.
I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to
translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines
(i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that
return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are
returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens
that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register,
and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving
%eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting
clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this
bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop
and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx
are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm
wrappers already handled everything correctly.
I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem()
instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible
deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves.
The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The
internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the
RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them.
This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules
regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors
the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for
NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't
own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335
driver.)
The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has
been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to
callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called.
(Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.)
I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be
built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only
WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled.
The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with
the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The
ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN
and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold.
The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is
always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on
the operations being performed in this order.
I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to
directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation()
methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts()
routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via
NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via
a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly
program the various crypto and key management options in the driver,
allowing things like WPA2 support to work.
Whew.
works again.
This driver uses NdisScheduleWorkItem(), and we have to take special steps
to insure that its workitems don't collide with any of the other workitems
used by the NDISulator. In particular, if one of the driver's work jobs
blocks, it can prevent NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync() from completing
when expected.
The original hack to fix this was to have NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
defer its work to the DPC queue instead of the general task queue. To
fix it now, I decided to add some additional workitem threads. (There's
supposed to be a pool of worker threads in Windows anyway.) Currently,
there are 4. There should be at least 2. One is reserved for the legacy
ExQueueWorkItem() API, while the others are used in round-robin by the
IoQueueWorkItem() API. NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync() uses the latter
API while NdisScheduleWorkItem() uses the former, so the deadlock is
avoided.
Fixed NdisMRegisterDevice()/NdisMDeregisterDevice() to work a little
more sensibly with the new driver_object/device_object framework. It
doesn't really register a working user-mode interface, but the existing
code was completely wrong for the new framework.
Fixed a couple of bugs dealing with the cancellation of events and
DPCs. When cancelling an event that's still on the timer queue (i.e.
hasn't expired yet), reset dh_inserted in its dispatch header to FALSE.
Previously, it was left set to TRUE, which would make a cancelled
timer appear to have not been cancelled. Also, when removing a DPC
from a queue, reset its list pointers, otherwise a cancelled DPC
might mistakenly be treated as still pending.
Lastly, fix the behavior of ntoskrnl_wakeup() when dealing with
objects that have nobody waiting on them: sync event objects get
their signalled state reset to FALSE, but notification objects
should still be set to TRUE.
- Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in
subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC
API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can
have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented:
KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs().
(This is the biggest change.)
- Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the
nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set
to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do
this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn
breaks cancelling timers.
- Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer
queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both
untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC
that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of
periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue.
- Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a
queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior
to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure
any DPCs queued by the timers have expired.
- Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep
track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory
buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug
in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong
virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause
a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading
the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation
of the API).
- Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid().
- Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and
ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.)
- Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the
ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses
it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem()
API.)
- Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling
tasks.
With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin
F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson
(paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card
for testing.
here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built
into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are
created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under
the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module
that can be kldloaded into the kernel.
A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into
foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static
kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the
.INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module.
You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have
it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled
into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately).
Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system
bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually
sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for
the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep()
doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence
ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead).
This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much
else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy.
There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap.
Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading
them and kldload them once the system is running instead.
layer, but with a twist.
The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured
exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling
is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the
Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs
register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture,
which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite
the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things.
To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in
the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context
switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor,
which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns,
or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently,
Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default.
I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I
couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly,
this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both
UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly
complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can
be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers.
(Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog
code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness
won't be necessary on that arch.)
The advantages are:
- Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't
clobber pcpu.
- All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to
gcc goes away.
Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using
nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate
than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers
I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss
in accuracy.
nll_obsoletelock field in the lookaside list structure is only defined
for the i386 arch. For amd64, the field is gone, and different list
update routines are used which do their locking internally. Apparently
the Inprocomm amd64 driver uses lookaside lists. I'm not positive this
will make it work yet since I don't have an Inprocomm NIC to test, but
this needs to be fixed anyway.
that describe a buffer of variable size). The problem is, allocating
MDLs off the heap is slow, and it can happen that drivers will allocate
lots and lots of lots of MDLs as they run.
As a compromise, we now do the following: we pre-allocate a zone for
MDLs big enough to describe any buffer with 16 or less pages. If
IoAllocateMdl() needs a MDL for a buffer with 16 or less pages, we'll
allocate it from the zone. Otherwise, we allocate it from the heap.
MDLs allocate from the zone have a flag set in their mdl_flags field.
When the MDL is released, IoMdlFree() will uma_zfree() the MDL if
it has the MDL_ZONE_ALLOCED flag set, otherwise it will release it
to the heap.
The assumption is that 16 pages is a "big number" and we will rarely
need MDLs larger than that.
- Moved the ndis_buffer zone to subr_ntoskrnl.c from kern_ndis.c
and named it mdl_zone.
- Modified IoAllocateMdl() and IoFreeMdl() to use uma_zalloc() and
uma_zfree() if necessary.
- Made ndis_mtop() use IoAllocateMdl() instead of calling uma_zalloc()
directly.
Inspired by: discussion with Giridhar Pemmasani
when we create a PDO, the driver_object associated with it is that
of the parent driver, not the driver we're trying to attach. For
example, if we attach a PCI device, the PDO we pass to the NdisAddDevice()
function should contain a pointer to fake_pci_driver, not to the NDIS
driver itself. For PCI or PCMCIA devices this doesn't matter because
the child never needs to talk to the parent bus driver, but for USB,
the child needs to be able to send IRPs to the parent USB bus driver, and
for that to work the parent USB bus driver has to be hung off the PDO.
This involves modifying windrv_lookup() so that we can search for
bus drivers by name, if necessary. Our fake bus drivers attach themselves
as "PCI Bus," "PCCARD Bus" and "USB Bus," so we can search for them
using those names.
The individual attachment stubs now create and attach PDOs to the
parent bus drivers instead of hanging them off the NDIS driver's
object, and in if_ndis.c, we now search for the correct driver
object depending on the bus type, and use that to find the correct PDO.
With this fix, I can get my sample USB ethernet driver to deliver
an IRP to my fake parent USB bus driver's dispatch routines.
- Add stub modules for USB support: subr_usbd.c, usbd_var.h and
if_ndis_usb.c. The subr_usbd.c module is hooked up the build
but currently doesn't do very much. It provides the stub USB
parent driver object and a dispatch routine for
IRM_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL. The only exported function at
the moment is USBD_GetUSBDIVersion(). The if_ndis_usb.c stub
compiles, but is not hooked up to the build yet. I'm putting
these here so I can keep them under source code control as I
flesh them out.
and a machine-independent though inefficient InterlockedExchange().
In Windows, InterlockedExchange() appears to be implemented in header
files via inline assembly. I would prefer using an atomic.h macro for
this, but there doesn't seem to be one that just does a plain old
atomic exchange (as opposed to compare and exchange). Also implement
IoSetCancelRoutine(), which is just a macro that uses InterlockedExchange().
Fill in IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest(), IoBuildAsynchronousFsdRequest()
and IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest() so that they do something useful,
and add a bunch of #defines to ntoskrnl_var.h to help make these work.
These may require some tweaks later.
for now) exactly the same as KfAcquireSpinLock() and KfReleaseSpinLock().
I implemented the former as small routines in subr_ntoskrnl.c that just
turned around and invoked the latter. But I don't really need the wrapper
routines: I can just create an entries in the ntoskrnl func table that
map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() and KeReleaseSpinLock() to
KfAcquireSpinLock() and KfReleaseSpinLock() directly. This means
the stubs can go away.
Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx)
deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it
work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately.
The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different
calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using
6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack.
Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room
on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to
spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall
and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention.
This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the
driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have
to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself.
The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at
compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized
wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach:
the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at
runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as
it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the
wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping
routine is a no-op.)
There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for:
- KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper
around KfAcquireSpinLock()
- NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole
NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this.
Bugs fixed along the way:
- IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL
- kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object
extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard)
This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g
chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.
Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can
simulate driver stacking.
In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT
structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device
ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image
is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up
the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates
a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver
detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for
it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to
that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke
the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT
and the PDO.
The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of
its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and
corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses
IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the
driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers
in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack.
When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack
passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches
the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware)
at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves
driver layering.
Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent
handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the
creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also
does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry,
so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually,
the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from
the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported
device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it
to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call
our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block
is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows.
The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the
DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices
handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.)
We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the
stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created
for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB,
which will actually accept USB IRP.s
Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in
the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing
IRPs between drivers.
Various changes:
- corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more
accurately reflect reality
- update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a
global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it.
- Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing
the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no
longer used)
- implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(),
IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(),
IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(),
IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(),
IoInitializeIrp()
- fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions
- add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration
and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in
kern_ndis.c).
- made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers
and modified all references to it
- fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they
work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism
- changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver()
(which is now deprecated)
- used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines
instead of kludged up alloc/free routines
- added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.
attributes in casts (i.e. foo = (__stdcall sometype)bar). This only
happens in two places where we need to set up function pointers, so
work around the problem with some void pointer magic.
USB device support):
- Convert all of my locally chosen function names to their actual
Windows equivalents, where applicable. This is a big no-op change
since it doesn't affect functionality, but it helps avoid a bit
of confusion (it's now a lot easier to see which functions are
emulated Windows API routines and which are just locally defined).
- Turn ndis_buffer into an mdl, like it should have been. The structure
is the same, but now it belongs to the subr_ntoskrnl module.
- Implement a bunch of MDL handling macros from Windows and use them where
applicable.
- Correct the implementation of IoFreeMdl().
- Properly implement IoAllocateMdl() and MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool().
- Add the definitions for struct irp and struct driver_object.
- Add IMPORT_FUNC() and IMPORT_FUNC_MAP() macros to make formatting
the module function tables a little cleaner. (Should also help
with AMD64 support later on.)
- Fix if_ndis.c to use KeRaiseIrql() and KeLowerIrql() instead of
the previous calls to hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() which
have been renamed.
The function renaming generated a lot of churn here, but there should
be very little operational effect.
calls MiniportQueryInformation(), it will return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.
When this happens, ndis_get_info() will sleep waiting for a completion
event. If two threads call ndis_get_info() and both end up having to
sleep, they will both end up waiting on the same wait channel, which
can cause a panic in sleepq_add() if INVARIANTS are turned on.
Fix this by having ndis_get_info() use a common mutex rather than
using the process mutex with PROC_LOCK(). Also do the same for
ndis_set_info(). Note that Pierre's original patch also made ndis_thsuspend()
use the new mutex, but ndis_thsuspend() shouldn't need this since
it will make each thread that calls it sleep on a unique wait channel.
Also, it occured to me that we probably don't want to enter
MiniportQueryInformation() or MiniportSetInformation() from more
than one thread at any given time, so now we acquire a Windows
spinlock before calling either of them. The Microsoft documentation
says that MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation()
are called at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and previously we would call
KeRaiseIrql() to set the IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL before entering
either routine, but this only guarantees mutual exclusion on
uniprocessor machines. To make it SMP safe, we need to use a real
spinlock. For now, I'm abusing the spinlock embedded in the
NDIS_MINIPORT_BLOCK structure for this purpose. (This may need to be
applied to some of the other routines in kern_ndis.c at a later date.)
Export ntoskrnl_init_lock() (KeInitializeSpinlock()) from subr_ntoskrnl.c
since we need to use in in kern_ndis.c, and since it's technically part
of the Windows kernel DDK API along with the other spinlock routines. Use
it in subr_ndis.c too rather than frobbing the spinlock directly.
- In ntoskrnl_var.h, I had defined compat macros for
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() and ntoskrnl_release_spinlock() but
never used them. This is fortunate since they were stale. Fix them
to work properly. (In Windows/x86 KeAcquireSpinLock() is a macro that
calls KefAcquireSpinLock(), which lives in HAL.dll. To imitate this,
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() is just a macro that calls hal_lock(),
which lives in subr_hal.o.)
- Add macros for ntoskrnl_raise_irql() and ntoskrnl_lower_irql() that
call hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql().
- Use these macros in kern_ndis.c, subr_ndis.c and subr_ntoskrnl.c.
- Along the way, I realised subr_ndis.c:ndis_lock() was not calling
hal_lock() correctly (it was using the FASTCALL2() wrapper when
in reality this routine is FASTCALL1()). Using the
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() fixes this. Not sure if this actually
caused any bugs since hal_lock() would have just ignored what
was in %edx, but it was still bogus.
This hides many of the uses of the FASTCALLx() macros which makes the
code a little cleaner. Should not have any effect on generated object
code, other than the one fix in ndis_lock().
- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into
a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into
the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but
may become the default some day.
- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files
so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the
previous change involve using objcopy(1)).
- Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory
that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of
the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no
filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that
kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser
but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This
happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access
external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work
during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted.
To get around this, you can now do the following:
o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img
o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko
o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel
o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well
Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The
phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which
are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module
in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll
use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that
the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants.
As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked
into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too.
(ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you).
- Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support.
Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments
out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and
the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order
the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the
arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change
taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.
ntoskrnl_unlocl_dpc().
- hal_raise_irql(), hal_lower_irql() and hal_irql() didn't work right
on SMP (priority inheritance makes things... interesting). For now,
use only two states: DISPATCH_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and PASSIVE_LEVEL
(everything else). Tested on a dual PIII box.
- Use ndis_thsuspend() in ndis_sleep() instead of tsleep(). (I added
ndis_thsuspend() and ndis_thresume() to replace kthread_suspend()
and kthread_resume(); the former will preserve a thread's priority
when it wakes up, the latter will not.)
- Change use of tsleep() in ndis_stop_thread() to prevent priority
change on wakeup.
attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ
from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD
spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts.
This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also
prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by
raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other
threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs
from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher
locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer
value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically
cleared when you release it.
FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by
using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL,
lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread
priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is
HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL
matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no
longer have to rely on a mutex pool.
Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize
me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but
it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway.
Overview of the changes:
- Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(),
hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely
resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by
thread priority.
- Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do
in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These
routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are
actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks.
- Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers
that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact
that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__))
yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need
to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really
invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying
functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for
the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat.
- Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it
anymore.
- Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock()
and friends like they do in Windows.
- Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and
linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there
before.
- Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're
already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c.
- Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif.
It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory
in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock()
on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver
is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I
have no idea.)
- Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into
real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock()
and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use
KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(),
which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL.
- In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some
drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of
setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we
might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal
structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call
ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway.
- Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(),
and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft
spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode;
I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was
having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel
to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate
in BSS mode.
- Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when
calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation.
I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek
driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.
resource_var.h.
In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), fill in the cprd_flags and
cprd_sharedisp fields as best we can.
In if_ndis.c:ndis_setmulti(), don't bother updating the multicast
filter if our multicast address list is empty.
Add some missing updates to ndis_var.h and ntoskrnl_var.h that I
forgot to check in when I added the KeDpc stuff.
when it associates with a net. Because FreeBSD's kstack size is only
2 pages by default, this blows the stack and causes a double fault.
To deal with this, we now create all our kthreads with 8 stack pages.
Also, we now run all timer callouts in the ndis swi thread (since
they would otherwise run in the clock ithread, whose stack is too
small). It happens that the alloca() in this case was occuring within
the interrupt handler, which was already running in the ndis swi
thread, but I want to deal with the callouts too just to be extra
safe.
NOTE: this will only work if you update vm_machdep.c with the change
I just committed. If you don't include this fix, setting the number
of stack pages with kthread_create() has essentially no effect.
are actually layered on top of the KeTimer API in subr_ntoskrnl.c, just
as it is in Windows. This reduces code duplication and more closely
imitates the way things are done in Windows.
- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.
- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.
NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:
options KSTACK_PAGES=8
I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat
as a test, and it happened to work, so I left it. 4 pages might be
enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.
along with KeInitializeTimerEx(), KeSetTimer(), KeSetTimerEx(),
KeCancelTimer(), KeReadStateTimer() and KeInitializeDpc(). I don't
know for certain that these will make the Atheros driver happy since
I don't have the card/driver combo needed to test it, but these are
fairly independent so they shouldn't break anything else.
- Debugger() is present even in kernels without options DDB, so no
conditional compilation is necessary (pointed out by bde).
- Remove the extra km_acquirecnt member that I added to struct kmutant
and embed it within an unused portion of the structure instead, so that
we don't make the structure larger than it's defined to be in Windows.
I don't know what crack I was smoking when I decided it was ok to do
this, but it's worn off now.
- When adding new waiting threads to the waitlist for an object,
use INSERT_LIST_TAIL() instead of INSERT_LIST_HEAD() so that new
waiters go at the end of the list instead of the beginning. When we
wake up a synchronization object, only the first waiter is awakened,
and this needs to be the first thread that actually waited on the object.
- Correct missing semicolon in INSERT_LIST_TAIL() macro.
- Implement lookaside lists correctly. Note that the Am1771 driver
uses lookaside lists to manage shared memory (i.e. DMAable) buffers
by specifying its own alloc and free routines. The Microsoft documentation
says you should avoid doing this, but apparently this did not deter
the developers at AMD from doing it anyway.
With these changes (which are the result of two straight days of almost
non-stop debugging), I think I finally have the object/thread handling
semantics implemented correctly. The Am1771 driver no longer crashes
unexpectedly during association or bringing the interface up.
802.11b chipset work. This chip is present on the SMC2602W version 3
NIC, which is what was used for testing. This driver creates kernel
threads (12 of them!) for various purposes, and required the following
routines:
PsCreateSystemThread()
PsTerminateSystemThread()
KeInitializeEvent()
KeSetEvent()
KeResetEvent()
KeInitializeMutex()
KeReleaseMutex()
KeWaitForSingleObject()
KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
IoGetDeviceProperty()
and several more. Also, this driver abuses the fact that NDIS events
and timers are actually Windows events and timers, and uses NDIS events
with KeWaitForSingleObject(). The NDIS event routines have been rewritten
to interface with the ntoskrnl module. Many routines with incorrect
prototypes have been cleaned up.
Also, this driver puts jobs on the NDIS taskqueue (via NdisScheduleWorkItem())
which block on events, and this interferes with the operation of
NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync(), which was also being put on the
NDIS taskqueue. To avoid the deadlock, NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
is now performed in the NDIS SWI thread instead.
There's still room for some cleanups here, and I really should implement
KeInitializeTimer() and friends.
According to the Windows DDK header files, KSPIN_LOCK is defined like this:
typedef ULONG_PTR KSPIN_LOCK;
From basetsd.h (SDK, Feb. 2003):
typedef [public] unsigned __int3264 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
typedef unsigned __int64 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
typedef _W64 unsigned long ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
The keyword __int3264 specifies an integral type that has the following
properties:
+ It is 32-bit on 32-bit platforms
+ It is 64-bit on 64-bit platforms
+ It is 32-bit on the wire for backward compatibility.
It gets truncated on the sending side and extended appropriately
(signed or unsigned) on the receiving side.
Thus register_t seems the proper mapping onto FreeBSD for spin locks.
supposed to be opaque to the driver, however it is exposed through
several macros which expect certain behavior. In my original
implementation, I used the mappedsystemva member of the structure
to hold a pointer to the buffer and bytecount to hold the length.
It turns out you must use the startva pointer to point to the
page containing the start of the buffer and set byteoffset to
the offset within the page where the buffer starts. So, for a buffer
with address 'baseva,' startva is baseva & ~(PAGE_SIZE -1) and
byteoffset is baseva & (PAGE_SIZE -1). We have to maintain this
convention everywhere that ndis_buffers are used.
Fortunately, Microsoft defines some macros for initializing and
manipulating NDIS_BUFFER structures in ntddk.h. I adapted some
of them for use here and used them where appropriate.
This fixes the discrepancy I observed between how RX'ed packet sizes
were being reported in the Broadcom wireless driver and the sample
ethernet drivers that I've tested. This should also help the
Intel Centrino wireless driver work.
Also try to properly initialize the 802.11 BSS and IBSS channels.
(Sadly, the channel value is meaningless since there's no way
in the existing NDIS API to get/set the channel, but this should
take care of any 'invalid channel (NULL)' messages printed on
the console.
- fix ndis_time() so that it returns a time based on the proper
epoch (wacky though it may be)
- implement NdisInitializeString() and NdisFreeString(), and add
stub for NdisMRemoveMiniport()
ntoskrnl_var.h:
- add missing member to the general_lookaside struct (gl_listentry)
subr_ntoskrnl.c:
- Fix arguments to the interlocked push/pop routines: 'head' is an
slist_header *, not an slist_entry *
- Kludge up _fastcall support for the push/pop routines. The _fastcall
convention is similar to _stdcall, except the first two available
DWORD-sized arguments are passed in %ecx and %edx, respectively.
One kludge for this __attribute__ ((regparm(3))), however this
isn't entirely right, as it assumes %eax, %ecx and %edx will be
used (regparm(2) assumes %eax and %edx). Another kludge is to
declare the two fastcall-ed args as local register variables and
explicitly assign them to %ecx and %edx, but experimentation showed
that gcc would not guard %ecx and %edx against being clobbered.
Thus, I came up with a 3rd kludge, which is to use some inline
assembly of the form:
void *arg1;
void *arg2;
__asm__("movl %%ecx, %%ecx" : "=c" (arg1));
__asm__("movl %%edx, %%edx" : "=d" (arg2));
This lets gcc know that we're going to reference %ecx and %edx and
that it should make an effort not to let it get trampled. This wastes
an instruction (movl %reg, %reg is a no-op) but insures proper
behavior. It's possible there's a better way to do this though:
this is the first time I've used inline assembler in this fashion.
The above fixes to ntoskrnl_var.h an subr_ntoskrnl.c make lookaside
lists work for the two drivers I have that use them, one of which
is an NDIS 5.0 miniport and another which is 5.1.
