[RFC] Port of Stefan Dösinger's ARB_vertex_program fixed-function vertex pipeline replacement to 1.1.14
by Paul TBBle Hampson Feb. 1, 2009

Feb. 1, 2009

>From the discussion regarding the drawStridedSlow implementation of vertex blending, what shook out was the suggestion that WineD3D will need a vertex-program fixed function vertex pipeline at some point anyway, and therefore it doesn't make sense to add another software implementation to drawStridedSlow but to instead get the vertex pipeline in place and build the vertex blending functionality on top of that. Towards that aim, I've ported Stefan Dösinger's initial implementation of this from October last year [1] to what turned out to be 1.1.14. It fails two more D3D9 tests than 1.1.14: visual.c:914: Test failed: Transformed vertex with linear vertex fog has color 0000ff00 visual.c:986: Test failed: Transformed vertex with linear vertex fog has color 0000ff00 (I don't know if these failed when it was first implemented, so I don't know if the problem is the patch, the port, or even the test. This is on my nVidia 8600 w/180.22 binary drivers, in case it makes a difference.) I haven't run it with any games yet, or profiled it. Stefan's commented since that it was slower than the current system, albeit unoptimised, and that was the reason he didn't undertake any further work on it. I don't know what games use the fixed-function pipeline, so I'm open to suggestions and bug report references. All but the last patch in this tarball are ports of Stefan's original, and were done using git-am so still retain his original headers. The sorta-nasty no_d3dcolor_swizzle code in get_color and its caller in the last patch is entirely my fault though. ^_^ The last patch is actually also from Stefan's code, but it's an attempt by me to reinsert fog code I have removed, possibly incorrectly. However, it didn't fix the above fog failures, so I left it as a separate patch. I'm not totally sure I've got all the hard parts of the port right. The two relevant changes since these patches were applied were the implementation of EXT_vertex_buffer_bgra and the rearrangement of the fog code. For EXT_vertex_array_bgra and vertex_pipe->can_convert_d3dcolor, I'm not sure if there are places that check one and should check the other, and I'm not sure if the test in state.c line 4280 (streamsrc) is doing the right thing. I think it is doing the right thing. The vertex program recognises and handles a position_transformed vertex declaration itself. Of the original 13-patch series, patches 4 and 5 were rendered completely uninteresting by the fog changes, and 7 and 13 had already gone into the main tree. There was also what I believe was a bug in patch 2, which basically left pCaps->MaxUserClipPlanes uninitialised rather than fetching the value from the vertex_pipeline's get_caps method result. Anyway, here it is. I hope this is of benefit to someone. The next thing I plan to do with this is try and wrap my head around the internals of the arbvp vertex program so I can implement vertex blending there.

[patch] review requested - NamedPipe Message mode (was Reliable Datagram / Stream behaviour of NT Pipes)
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Feb. 1, 2009

Feb. 1, 2009

http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=19132 ok this is the beginnings of an implementation of messagemode, it passes the test1 and send2recv2 tests and fails the shortread test as part of PeekNamedPipe(). i'm not exactly sure why, yet. i get the distinct feeling that there's confusion over who writes into the wineserver data structures what the "availdata" is. msrpc.exe says "set availdata to 9", msrpcd.exe says "set it to 0, we did a write!" and it's all just ohhhh dear. also i have double-copies of server_set_named_pipe_info(), one in kernel32 and another in ntdll because i am using it in both places, i think SetNamedPipeHandleState() should be calling an NtFsControlIo rather than using server_set_named_pipe_info() but for the life of me i _really_ don't want to be finding out what the heck that function is :) hmm, maybe i can find out by copying ntdll.dll over to wine and doing a WINEDEBUG=trace+ntdll,kernel32 to see what functions get called. anyway the primary purpose of submitting the patch is to ask people if i'm along the right lines. anything seriously objectionable, etc. etc. l.

Fwd: A basic implementation for increased security in wine proposal

A basic implementation for increased security in wine proposal
by Guillaume SH Feb. 1, 2009

Feb. 1, 2009

Hi project, Following the two previous threads, I am posting here a draft patch implementing my proposal. So, to begin with I will remind you the principle : All function callable from outside wine, should be added sanity checks : if safe_mode_on and (sanity_check1_failed or sanity_check2_failed [...] ) { ExitWineCleanlyAndAdvertiseUser; } safe_mode_on value being read from registry (one and only time at wine startup). So if safe_mode_on is set to true, sanity check are performed and in case of failure wine advertise user and terminate cleanly Else, sanity check aren't performed and on a bad input wine is crashing. I've only produced a basic implementation, clearly marking as TODO items left to be done (by the way they are too much for me to handle, as I am no match for you when it comes to implementation). My goal here is firstly to demonstrate feasibility (hardly reached) and usefulness of the proposal. Secondly it is to provide something concrete. Please note than "unsafe" mode behave exactly the same than latest git version of wine (some more operations occur, however, so is not strictly equal in term of performance) I tested the two modes with the help of wine test suite, restricted to kernel/file.c, test_overlapped and I considered only : all must-be-successful tests GetOverlappedResult(0, NULL, &result, FALSE); GetOverlappedResult(0, &ov, NULL, FALSE); (these last two cannot be used in the same run, in either mode) Results are as follow (test are wine_test calls wine on linux(1) platform only ) : 1 - all must-be-successful tests 100% succeed in the two modes 2 - in safe mode, the last two triggers the user message and wine exit 3 - in unsafe mode, the last two triggers a crash Consequently, based on theses results no regression is identified. As I received some more informations in last thread (thank you for enhancing my comprehension of the problem), I will again expose the problem, taking them into account : The problem I am considering (and I may be mistaken here as I am not an expert) is called "Unchecked Error Condition"(2) and it is a referenced weakness (CWE id 391), rated "Medium" in likelihood of exploit, by serious people. Personally, I don't mind that Microsoft is ignoring it and promote usage of early crash or whatever. You are providing a software, presenting security defects that you choose not to fix because they are compliant with your goals. Consequently, at the very least you should explicitly advertise your users, confronting them with their responsibilities. I have read(3) on winehq a warning stating that wine is beta software, not ready for general use. I have read too about the "bug for bug" compatibility. So user's advertisement about security is rather thin and implicit. Please consider the problem, you need to do something about it, it is your responsibility. And continue the good work, you rocks ! Guillaume (1) wine version : wine 1.1.14 with the attached patch applied on top of it OS : debian testing amd64 (2) http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/391.html (3) http://www.winehq.org/about/ PS : I have observed that you are very active about fixing other security issues : + buffer overflow + NULL pointer dereference + variable signedness + ... I seems to me that hopefully, you performs those fixes without consideration for "Is windows doing the same ?". I will be sad the day I will see a commit "Remove resource release because Windows is doing the same" or "Remove buffer overflow fix because app A (2 million copies sold) rely on it".

Wine magazine articles?

Hey everyone, does Wine have a gallery of press clippings anywhere? I couldn't find one, so I started one at http://wiki.winehq.org/Reviews just for long-form reviews. If you remember any good reviews of Wine (1.0 or later especially), please link them in there. - Dan
