There is no equivalent of GetProcAddress in the kernel.
MmGetSystemRoutineAddress exists, but it will only dynamically resolve
exports from ntoskrnl or the HAL. If you link against a driver DLL, you
must make sure the DLL is present on the system. Once present, you can
create your own version of query interface if you like, but you have to
make sure the DLL and interfaces are valid for the lifetime of your
device objects and drivers.

Call the dll/driver using a standard IOCTL which instantiates a class and
returns an interface pointer. Then call that object methods the normal
way. One of the methods can be used for freeing the object.
The header file should only have pure abstract methods.

Read about IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE in the DDK for a “clean” way to do
this.

hi, everyone,
first thanks for ur reply. Maybe i dont’ make myself clear, the
situation is now i have a static library, which is developed with the Wizard
in VC6.0 by choosing the Win32 Static Library. When i included it into my
kernel driver project as we usually do in developing Win32 programs, I got
link error when compiling. Is it possible to link such a static library into
kernel driver?How?
best regards

what linker error is it in particular?
To link a static library to a kernel driver is possible in general.

Hello Crasher Guo,
I am frequently linking static libraries to a kernel driver.
Yesterday I did it the last time.
I really do my very best to avoid references to the Win32-Subsystem in user

This horse is now well-beaten. Here is the consensus:
* There are no issues specific to kernel mode that preclude the use of
static and dynamic libraries.
* Obviously, Win32 / user mode / non-native functions may not be used in
kernel mode regardless of whether calls to said functions originate from
your driver code, your static library, or your DLL.
* According to the article http://www.wd-3.com/archive/KernelDlls.htm
posted by Burkhardt, you can use automatic binding for DLLs in kernel
mode.
* According to Maxim, you can manually bind DLL functions if you
interpret the PE header of the DLL manually.
Clearly, any code in a static or dynamic library must be appropriate for
kernel mode if you’re going to be calling functions from said library in
kernel mode. You may also have to consider subtle differences in the
runtime environment. For example, if your static library requires
construction of global C++ objects, you may need to take steps to
explicitly handle this.
If the OP cares to provide specific information, such as exactly what
linker error is occurring, maybe someone can provide specific help.

Chuck,
Good summary.
I’d like to add that there are other “implicit support calls” that can be
generated by the compiler. Stack checking, overflow checking, as well as
explicit calls to runtime libraries and such. If you make ANY call that
isn’t suitable for the kernel environment, of course you’re going to get
linker errors, because the runtime support for kernel mode is quite
different from the runtime support for user mode.
It’s quite clear that linking for Kernel mode should work the same way as
for user mode, but there are runtime differences that must be solved by
coding in a way that the kernel static/dynamic library (or driver itself)
doesn’t call upon anything that isn’t clean Kernel code.

No. You will have lots of unresolved imports.
The kernel is not a full general-purpose programming environment, if has,
for instance, no fopen(), and no Win32 functions. So, your library will need
major redesign to be usable for the kernel.

It’s quite unlikely you’ll succeed with a DLL created that way. The
fundamental problem is that your DLL is likely to have references to other
things, and they cannot be resolved in the kernel.
For what you want, the proper approach is to build something called an
EXPORT_DRIVER. You would build via the DDK and not Visual Studio. The
resulting file will be another .sys executable, but it’s really a DLL. Your
first driver can import from this export driver.

first thanks for your all reply.
hi,Burkhardt Braun
the link errors are unresolved symbols which i have defined in my
static library.
how do u link static libraries to a kernel driver? is the static
libraries build via DDK and not Visual Studio as James has told? or u
doesn’t refer to any function depends on any runtime library that kernel
mode supports?
thanks.

You should be able to build static libraries fairly normally. They are
Win32 DLLs (for a 32 bit system). You need to avoid any MFC trash, and
don’t call any functions in ntdll.dll, or the other user-mode support
functions. Pretty much you can only link against Kernel and Hal.
If your link errors are complaints about functions defined IN your static
library, then it seems there is something wrong with how you must have built
it. I mean, those functions are there, so they should be usable. A
possibility is you have the calling conventions wrong. This changes the
name of the function, often causing a link failure.

If your static library needs to call other functions which it
does not define, then it can obviously only call functions that
can be used by kernel-mode code. If all the functions in your
library only depend on other functions in the library, there
should be no problem. It ought to be possible to make sure you
don’t include inappropriate references when building with Visual
Studio, but it’s very unlikely that any wizard will set it up
for you. You’ll have to study the compiler and linker options
and set everything up appropriately.
It will probably be much easier to make sure you meet all the
necessary restrictions by using the DDK build utility to build
your library, using a TARGETTYPE of DRIVER_LIBRARY.
Hello,
how do u link static libraries to a kernel driver? is the static
I link them the way I add the static library to be linked to the linker
options.
libraries build via DDK and not Visual Studio as James has told? or u
You can do both, it doesn’t matter.
doesn’t refer to any function depends on any runtime library that kernel
mode supports?
All references in the dll are references to kernel mode functions.
To make things easier, I “developed” two DSP and DSW pairs related to an
old
OSR example ( Master and slave ).
I’ll send this zip file ( < 4k ) to you. Anyone else who likes to have them
might
email me, so that I can send them back.
