Checking which OS

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I try to use IoIsWdmVersionAvailable() to tell if the target OS is XP or
WIN2K. If it is XP, I will use KeAcquireInterruptSpinlock(); otherwise
something else is used. I compile my driver in XP, and then test it for XP.
It goes well. However, when I install the driver in WIN2K, I get BSOD.
It says

STOP: c0000263 {Driver Entry Point Not Found}
The \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\WV504.sys device driver could not locate
the entry point KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock in driver ntoskrnl.exe???.
Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance)

WV504.sys is my driver.

Do I miss anything here?

Thanks

Ta H.

Use KeSynchronizeExecution. In all OSes. This would be the best solution.

If you call XP+ function directly it is imported regardless of your code
logic. Verify it using “dumpbin /imports” for example. Imports are resolved
when PE file is loaded, not when a function is called.

Instead, you have to find address dynamically using
MmGetSystemRoutineAddress().

Use MmGetSystemRoutineAddress to find the function pointer for
KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock. If you have a hard coded call, this will
always bring in the import.

Yeah, I know…

However, I am interested in finding out why I got such an error, and if
possible, finding a solution. It looks like to me since XP, there are quite
a few new kernel functions.

Thanks

Because W2K’s ntoskrnl does not contain the KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock
export entry.
It is the same as you try to import non-existent function from DLL.
Use MmGetSystemRoutineAddress to obtain the address of
KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock.
But its better to use KeSynchronizeExecution.
