Kernel-Mode Managers and Libraries

Windows has several components that export routines device drivers can call. The following topics discuss these components and provide links to further information about them and the routines they export:

Windows Kernel-Mode Object Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Memory Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Process and Thread Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode I/O Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Plug and Play Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Power Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Configuration Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Kernel Transaction Manager

Windows Kernel-Mode Security Reference Monitor

Windows Kernel-Mode Kernel Library

Windows Kernel-Mode Executive Support Library

Windows Kernel-Mode Run-Time Library

Windows Kernel-Mode Safe String Library

Windows Kernel-Mode DMA Library

Windows Kernel-Mode HAL Library

Windows Kernel-Mode CLFS Library

Windows Kernel-Mode WMI Library

Windows Kernel-Mode Executive Support Library

The Windows operating system uses the term executive layer to refer to kernel-mode components that provide a variety of services to device drivers, including:

• Object management
• Memory management
• Process and thread management
• Input/output management
• Configuration management

Each of the above managers provides direct interfaces to their individual technologies, as do several libraries. However, routines that are grouped together as a generic interface to the Executive Library are usually prefixed with "Ex", for example, ExGetCurrentResourceThread. For a list of executive library routines, see Executive Library Support Routines.

Note that the executive layer components are part of Ntoskrnl.exe, but that drivers and the HAL are not part of the executive layer.

Windows Kernel-Mode Security Reference Monitor

An increasingly important aspect of operating systems is security. Before an action can take place, the operating system must be sure that the action is not a violation of system policy. For example, a device may or may not be accessible to all requests. When creating a driver, you may want to allow some requests to succeed or fail, depending on the permission of the entity making the request.

Windows uses an access control list (ACL) to determine which objects have what security. The Windows kernel-mode security reference monitor provides routines for your driver to work with access control. For more information about the ACL, see Access Control List.

Routines that provide a direct interface to the security reference monitor are prefixed with the letters "Se"; for example, SeAccessCheck. For a list of security reference monitor routines, see Security Reference Monitor Routines.

Windows Kernel-Mode Kernel Library

The kernel of an operating system implements the core functionality that everything else in the operating system depends upon. The Microsoft Windows kernel provides basic low-level operations such as scheduling threads or routing hardware interrupts. It is the heart of the operating system and all tasks it performs must be fast and simple.

Routines that provide a direct interface to the kernel library are usually prefixed with "Ke", for example, KeGetCurrentThread. For a list of kernel library routines, see Kernel Library Support Routines.

Note The term microkernel does not apply to the current kernel used in the Windows operating system.
