`System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshall.GetExceptionForHR` may not return an exception. Instead of `throw GetExceptionForHR` we can use `ThrowExceptionForHR`.
Fix warnings `CS8597:Thrown value may be null.`
[breaking change]
Major changes are as follows:
- Add `Enable-ExperimentalFeature` and `Disable-ExperimentalFeature` cmdlets.
- Remove `-ListAvailable` from `Get-ExperimentalFeature`.
- Add `ArgumentCompleter` for `Get-ExperimentalFeature` cmdlet.
- Refactor some existing Experimental Feature tests.
- Make `ConfigScope` public and renamed `SystemWide` to `AllUsers`. Also update experimental feature code to prefer the current user config over the all user config.
Major changes are as follows:
- Avoid `SecuritySupport.IsProductBinary` and unnecessary AMSI/suspicious code scan at startup time
- Update `CompiledScriptBlockData.IsProductCode` to avoid unnecessary calls to `IsProductBinary`, which attempts to retrieve catalog signature of the target file.
- Update `PerformSecurityChecks` to skip AMSI and suspicious code scan for the `.psd1` file that contains a safe `HashtableAst` only.
- Use customized `ReadOnlyBag` instead of `ImmutableHashSet` so that we can avoid loading the `System.Collections.Immutable.dll` completely.
- Replace `SHA1` with `CRC32` when generating module analysis cache file name
- This remove the loading of `System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.dll` at startup
- Move `ConvertFrom-SddlString` to C# to remove the `Utility.psm1` file.
- Crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation
- Even pwsh with crossgen assemblies spends a lot time in jitting at the startup, about `191.6ms` comparing with `24.7ms` for Windows PowerShell.
- Jitting `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` takes about `51.6ms`.
- By crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation, the jitting time drops to about `98.9ms`.
Consolidation of all Windows PowerShell work ported to PSCore6
* Added ps1 file import restriction. Refactored InvokeLanguageModeTestingSupportCmdlet to HelpersSecurity module
* JEA loop back fix. Debugger running commands in CL mode.
* Support for new AMSI codes. Changed to use AMSI buffer API. Unhandled exception fix.
* Fixes for module bugs while running in ConstrainedLanguage mode
* Untrusted input tracking work
* Configuration keyword bug fix, PSRP protocol version check for reconstruct reconnect, Sharing InitialSessionState in runspace pool.
* Restricted remote session in UMCI, Applocker detection collision, Help command exposing functions, Null reference exception fix.
* Added mitigation for debugger function exposure
These changes port Windows PowerShell support for Applocker and DeviceGuard User Mode Code Integrity (UMCI) to PSCore6. Windows PowerShell uses public APIs to determine if a system is in locked down mode via AppLocker or DeviceGuard, and automatically runs in constrained language mode. For more information about PowerShell constrained language, see: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2017/11/02/powershell-constrained-language-mode/
This support for application whitelisting has mostly existed in PSCore6, but the primary APIs were stubbed out in CorePSStub.cs because they relied on Windows only DeviceGuard (wldp.dll) and AppLocker (Safer APIs) public APIs. These changes re-implement PowerShell lock down APIs on PSCore6 for Windows platforms only. The AppLocker and DeviceGuard public APIs are currently only implemented in Windows OSes and are not supported on Linux or MacOS platforms.
Tests have also been ported to PSCore6 and run only for Windows platforms.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.
Separate PR coming to update contribution document for new source files: #6140
Manually reviewed each change.
Fix#6073
- Remove the unneeded base type;
- Rename 'ConfigPropertyAccessor' to 'PowerShellConfig';
- Move 'PowerShellConfig' to the namespace 'System.Management.Automation.Configuration'
Remove the code that spins up our own assembly load context. Keep the code that registers our `Resolve` method to the default loader's `Resolving` event, so that we can continue to do special assembly resolution as needed (such as the GAC probing logic needed for consuming FullCLR PS modules).
Essentially, the assembly `Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext.dll` is not needed anymore, the remaining code should be moved to S.M.A.dll. However, that will break DSC and other native hosts that are hosting powershell. So this assembly is kept for now.
* Caching the parent id of the current process
In certain scenarios, like a domain joined machine with an executionpolicy set via GPO, a lot of checks are done for the ExecutionPolicy, and this is in the hot path.
* Caching HasGPScriptParent.
It is expensive to determine if a script was run as a result of applying a group policy. This does not change during the lifetime of a process.
This only affect the scenario when an execution policy has been set by a group policy.
* Using available Microsoft.PowerShell.ProcessCodeMethods.GetParentPid
This change moves powershell to .NET Core 2.0. Major changes are:
1. PowerShell assemblies are now targeting `netcoreapp2.0`. We are using `microsoft.netcore.app-2.0.0-preview1-001913-00`, which is from dotnet-core build 4/4/17. We cannot target `netstandard2.0` because the packages `System.Reflection.Emit` and `System.Reflection.Emit.Lightweight`, which are needed for powershell class, cannot be referenced when targeting `netstandard2.0`.
2. Refactor code to remove most CLR stub types and extension types.
3. Update build scripts to enable CI builds. The `-cache` section is specified to depend on `appveyor.yml`, so the cache will be invalidated if `appveyor.yml` is changed.
4. Ship `netcoreapp` reference assemblies with powershell to fix the issues in `Add-Type` (#2764). By default `Add-Type` will reference all those reference assemblies when compiling C# code. If `-ReferenceAssembly` is specified, then we search reference assemblies first, then the framework runtime assemblies, and lastly the loaded assemblies (possibly a third-party one that was already loaded).
5. `dotnet publish` generates executable on Unix platforms, but doesn't set "x" permission and thus it cannot execute. Currently, the "x" permission is set in the build script, `dotnet/cli` issue [#6286](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/6286) is tracking this.
6. Replace the use of some APIs with the ones that take `SecureString`.
7. osx.10.12 is required to update to `netcoreapp2.0` because `dotnet-cli` 2.0.0-preview only works on osx.10.12.
8. Add dependency to `System.ValueTuple` to work around a ambiguous type identity issue in coreclr. The issue is tracked by `dotnet/corefx` [#17797](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/17797). When moving to newer version of `netcoreapp2.0`, we need to verify if this dependency is still needed.
Our private implementation of FailFast was likely introduced
when each individual application needed it's own code to
get Watson reports. The CLR takes care of this for us now,
so we don't need our implementation.
Our method CheckForSevereException was also introduced in
the early days of the CLR - the exceptions it was checking
for aren't actually raised the CLR anymore, they just FailFast.
I removed them as there is a tiny bit of overhead (in code size)
and also in the generated code, e.g. dynamic sites called the method.
Use 'Path.PathSeparator' instead of ';' to separate paths, so that it uses ';' on windows and ':' on unix.
Also refactor some code as part of the change.
I (Jason Shirk) ran https://github.com/dotnet/codeformatter with the default rules, basically:
codeformatter /nocopyright "/c:DEBUG,UNIX,CORECLR" @files.rsp
This caused a few problems building, which were fixed up manually.
Notable changes:
`this.` is removed unless needed to disambiguate.
private instance fields are renamed to have a `_` prefix.
private static fields are renamed to have a `s_` prefix.
I left some projects alone (like PackageManagement) and also left some generated code alone.
