Write in front

  this series is written word by word, including examples and experimental screenshots. Due to the complexity of the system kernel, there may be errors or incompleteness. If there are errors, criticism and correction are welcome. This tutorial will be updated for a long time. If you have any good suggestions, welcome feedback. Code words are not easy. If this article is helpful to you, if you have spare money, you can reward and support my creation. If you want to reprint, please attach my reprint information to the back of the article and state my personal information and my blog address, but you must notify me in advance.

If you look from the middle, please read it carefully Yu Xia's view of Win system kernel -- a brief introduction , easy to learn this tutorial.

  before reading this tutorial, ask a few questions. Have you prepared the basic knowledge? Did you learn in the last tutorial? Have you done the exercises of the last class? If not, don't continue.

Exercises and references

The answers are for reference and may not be consistent with my answers, but they must be passed successfully.

   before looking at the reference answer, we need to know what fs stores in the 0 ring and what the first address is. First, let's take a look at the first address of fs:

   as can be seen from the above figure, the first address of ring 0 is 0xFFDFF000, so what is stored in this address? We use it! Take a look at the pcr command:

KPCR for Processor 0 at ffdff000:

        NtTib.StackBase: 8054acf0

             NextThread: 00000000
             IdleThread: 80553740

              DpcQueue:

  it can be seen that this address stores the KPCR structure, so what is KPCR? It is a structure. Because Windows needs to support multiple CPUs, the windows kernel defines a set of data structure with the processor control area, namely KPCR, as the hub, so that each CPU has a KPCR. There is a domain PRCB structure in the KPCR structure, which extends KPCR. These two structures are used to store global information related to thread switching. The specific details will be explained in the process thread of this series of tutorials.

  in order to view the details of the structure more conveniently, let dt:

    with these foreshadowing, you can continue to look at the answers. Note that the requirement is to analyze the execution process, not to understand every detail in reverse, and generally know how to deal with it:

Section / page / door

  when you practice and study step by step and see this article, congratulations. Your foundation is almost the same. You can study the details of other protection modes independently. It's really not easy to learn the protection mode.
  in this chapter, we explain what is a paragraph and what is a page. You should have a more in-depth understanding of the suffering of many blue screens. Section is the first line of defense, mainly the inspection of authority. Page is the last line of defense and further protection of memory. If you want to read the contents of an address in memory in protected mode, you must pass the double test of segment and page to succeed. For example, why the 0 address of fs can be accessed, and the address greater than 0xFFF cannot be accessed, is due to segment restrictions. Why code segments can only be read but not written is also the limitation of code segments. In addition, we talked about the 0 address before. Even if you have the permission of the 0 ring, you can't access it because you don't hang the correct physical page. The high 2G memory cannot be accessed with low permissions due to page restrictions.
  when we started learning pages, we first started with 10-10-12 pages, and then 2-9-9-12 pages. Their structures are basically similar, but there is an additional layer of nesting, but the latter supports larger and more physical pages. It can be said that the development of paging depends on demand.
The status of the door in the protection mode is also not low. There are also many kinds of gates: call gate, interrupt gate, trap gate, task gate and so on. The main function of the door is to raise rights. In the operating system, all code implementations are implemented in the kernel, including the so-called API and so on.
  it seems that the operating system is not omniscient. It needs to have a good relationship with the CPU to achieve such a complex system. Of course, other hardware is also indispensable.

Deep PAE paging

  when talking about 10-10-12 paging, we explained the directory table base address and page table base address, and knew their uses. However, I did not introduce it in 2-9-9-12 pages, but it can be done by means of reverse analysis. Let's talk about how the operating system hangs physical pages in 2-9-9-12 paging mode.
  let's take a look at WinDbg first. I open a Notepad and view its PDPTT in the usual way, as shown in the figure below! dq 129001a0, look at the four members first, because it has only four.

    then let's take a look at the last item and see its members, as shown in the figure below! dq 3b303000. As like as two peas, you will be surprised to find that the first four items are exactly the same. We draw a graph based on our findings:

   we can say that the first four members of the PDT of the fourth member of the PDPTT are all members of the PDPTT, and then we use IDA to see its role through reverse:

  since we have the reverse experience of 10-10-12 paging, it is not difficult to reverse them. Through the reverse result: virtualaddress > > 18 + c0600000 is the PDE pointed to. That is, the resulting index is 2 ^ 14, with a maximum value of 4000H. 0C0600000 is the first address of the first PDT table, C0601000 is the first address of the second PDT table, C0602000 is the first address of the third PDT table, and C0603000 is the first address of the fourth PDT table.
  maybe you don't know the function of PDPTE. Let me give you an example to understand why I have a linear address that is the first PDT table: when we were looking for PDE, we just went to the next 21 bits by 8 bytes.

  PDPTI can be seen from the above figure × 1000H + PDI × 8, and one page is 1000h, indicating that they are contiguous. This is the role of PDPTE in finding physical addresses.
  now that you know its structure, write the code yourself. There are corresponding topics in practice and thinking.

  this question is similar to the previous 10-10-12 page question, the answer is similar, and the effect is the same.

   first construct a call gate: eq 8003f098 0040EC0000081250. Note that the address of the call gate is consistent with that of the raw function.

  the criteria for judging the success of the experiment are the same as the previous similar topics, so I won't repeat them.
