breakpoint setting in nt!KiSystemCall64 not working - windows

I want having a deep dive into ntdll!NtQueueApcThread seeing what happen after syscall instruction is executed. According to the document(Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual), the syscall instruction using the msr's LSTAR (0xC0000082) as the rip, so I set breakpoint in the nt!KiSystemCall64, which is the address I got by "rdmsr c0000082". But it's not working, my debugger doesn't break. It seems that the syscall inst does not jump to the address stored in the msr.
This is what I have done:
0: kd>
ntdll!NtQueueApcThread+0x10:
0033:00007ffb`3c32c640 7503 jne ntdll!NtQueueApcThread+0x15 (00007ffb`3c32c645)

ntdll!NtQueueApcThread+0x14:
0033:00007ffb`3c32c644 c3 ret
the target system version is Windows10 build 19042

After a few day study, I got to know what the problem is. In normal situation, setting a breakpoint in nt!KiSystemCall64 will cause a BSOD, this is because the first three instruction in nt!KiSystemCall64 is setting the kernel stack, which is required by windows kernel debugging mechanism. So the solution is setting the breakoint after the kernel stack is setup
bp nt!KiSystemCall64+0x15
In my situation, setting breakpoint does nothing happend, seems like the breakpoint is not working, I guess it is due to the anti-virus software I installed, which may have hooked some thing. After I uninstalled it, breakpoint is worked.

I don't know why not having an anonymous "image" would crash my app. My app has my code signing set
Changing the signing certificate to Development from Sign to Run Locally solved it for me.

Does rdmsr timing depend on the register read?

Does the time required to execute an rdmsr depend significantly on the register read?
Yes, the time can depend significantly on the register. Here are a few examples (as measured on an Intel Core i7-8700K):
Reading register E8H (IA32_APERF) requires about 91 core cycles.
Reading register 1A0 (IA32_MISC_ENABLE) typically requires between ~500 and ~550 core cycles.
Reading register 19CH (IA32_THERM_STATUS) typically requires between ~900 and ~1050 core cycles.
Reading register 198H (IA32_PERF_STATUS) typically requires between ~5300 and ~5700 core cycles.
Here are the nanoBench commands I used for the measurements:
sudo ./kernel-nanoBench.sh -asm "rdmsr" -asm_init "mov RCX, 0xE8"
sudo ./kernel-nanoBench.sh -asm "rdmsr" -asm_init "mov RCX, 0x1A0"
sudo ./kernel-nanoBench.sh -asm "rdmsr" -asm_init "mov RCX, 0x19C"
sudo ./kernel-nanoBench.sh -asm "rdmsr" -asm_init "mov RCX, 0x198"

_penter and _pexit symbols not seen

Writing a solution in Windows using Visual Studio 2013 C++ and trying to get the _penter and _pexit hooks working.
Getting error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pexit and error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _penter for all my project files when I compile it with /Gh and /GH. I have a solution with two projects - one my main project compiled with /GH and /Gh and another DLL project which defines _penter and _pexit in an assembly file(wrote a seperate assembly file for it since my application is x64).
If I have another symbol(a different function in the DLL), that is being seen and I am able to call it from the other project and it works properly as expected, but when I compile with /GH and /Gh options its not finding the definitions for _penter and _pexit. Not able to find why this happens.
Also, if I try to write the _penter and _pexit in the cpp file itself, it gets exposed and the other project is able to see it. But I cant write inline assembly in x64, so I've written it in a seperate asm file but that doesnt get exposed.
Also, I tried writing a def file as follows,
LIBRARY EXTLIB
EXPORTS _penter
EXPORTS _pexit
and point my main project to it, it gives me these two errors,
1>------ Build started: Project: MyProj, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>Definitions.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _penter
1>Definitions.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pexit
1>..\..\build\MyProj.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
when I dont give the def file, the errors are like,
1>Reality.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pexit
1>Reality.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pexit
...
for all my files in the project.
What am I doing wrong? How do I make my project see the definition for _penter and _pexit?

LoadLibraryA with User32.dll crash in ntdll.dll (x64 assembly)

So I have a block of assembly code that initializes a program, resolves kernel32, finds GetProcAddress, then finds LoadLibarayA to load User32.dll. It works up to the point of LoadLibraryA. It crashes in the function call but I can see User32.dll loaded in the debugger. If I try to use LoadLibraryA on a different module such as Kernel32.dll it returns and succeeds.
Here is the full source if you want to look it over

I figured it out. My stack wasn't 16 byte aligned.

User32.dll!NtUserWindowFromPoint getting corrupt when loaded by Mumble on Windows RT

I'm working on porting Mumble over to Windows RT (using the jailbreak), and I've hit an issue where this one function is getting corrupted when Mumble loads.

Mumble uses Qt (customized by the Mumble team, to my understanding), Protobuf, Boost, and OpenSSL
TeXworks uses Qt
What I've tried so far:
Disabling the application compatibility engine
Unloading user32.dll at load, then reloading it (calling FreeLibrary 100 times, then calling LoadLibrary)
Removing anything that might look even remotely suspect from the manifests (from Qt and Mumble)
Removing the entire manifests (from Qt and Mumble)
If I patch this one function using cdb after Mumble launches it all works awesomely, but if I don't patch it the first action performed that calls that function ends in a crash. Opening/closing windows and dragging all call that function, so it's rather critical to the program that it's there.
Any help or pointers on this would be more than appreciated.
Edit: I've verified that it's something inside mainCRTStartup that's mucking around with it, trying to figure out what exactly it is now.
Edit 2: Found a platform-specific hook hidden in the Mumble code that was causing my troubles. Solved.
Since I can finally answer this now, Mumble had some hooks hidden away that I didn't know about. I defined a custom entrypoint that called mainCRTStartup so I could step through that and find exactly where that memory was getting changed, it led me straight to the hook.
Here's the code I used for that:
EXTERN_C int WINAPI mainCRTStartup();
void __stdcall EntryPoint()
{
MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP,L"Pause(Before mainCRTStartup)",L"Pause(Before mainCRTStartup",MB_OK);
mainCRTStartup();
ExitProcess(0);
}
That allowed me to attach a debugger at the messagebox and step through mainCRTStartup until I found the static initializer that was getting called to load the hook.
