windbg doesnt display data (or how to force windbg to display data )

raj_rraj_r Member - All Emails Posts: 987
i was checking some vpc hooks on ntoskrnl via !chkimg -d

i see vpc hooking lots of instructions (125 errors)

kd> !chkimg nt
0 errors : nt
kd> g
Breakpoint 0 hit
vpc_8042+0x2cdd:
f9897cdd 0f ???
kd> !chkimg nt
125 errors : nt (804d910c-804ef20c)

most of these hooks are in nt!ExAcquireSharedWaitForExclusive patching the
setinterrupt (sti) clearinterrupt(cli) and trampolines to vmsti, vmcli

804e9199-804e91a0 8 bytes - nt!ExAcquireSharedWaitForExclusive+ef
(+0x05)
[ c2 08 00 90 90 90 90 90:0f c7 c8 02 03 c2 08 00 ]

kd> u 804e9199
nt!ExAcquireSharedWaitForExclusive+0xef:
804e9199 0fc7c80203 vmsti
804e919e c20800 ret 8

following one such hook i find i'm not able to make windbg display data
though windbg executes the instruction without problem

can someone take a look and tell me if i have any way to see the
content that gets to eax before i hit p
in the following copy paste



kd> g

eax=818f0030 ebx=818f0030 ecx=818e3000 edx=0012019f esi=81ab0c24

    The PTE is invalid, the PFN that you show there is for the PDE. So, it would
    like as if the page is indeed invalid.

    I've never looked at VirtualPC before, any chance that address falls in the
    device memory range for some PCI device presented to the guest? I'd think
    you could still decode it from the debugger, but maybe not.
