windbg conflicting information - windbg

I have WinDBG 6.12.0002.633 x86 and I'm using it to view a post-mortem kdmp from a Windows Mobile 6 ARMV4I application.
When I go to analyze the callstack I get a lot of unknowns. In the analysis, I can see in the *FAULTING_IP* section that the fault is in the tcpstk module. (for which I also have symbols. But, in the *STACK_TEXT* section, the tcpstk addresses appear as just addresses, no symbols.
Also, in the *MODULE_NAME* section, I get another unknown even though it just said the faulting module was in tcpstk.
The result of the !analyze -v command is:

Why isn't the !analyze -v command able to show the fully decoded callstack? Why does it show so many unknowns?

I think that WinDBG cannot debug ARM I have not seen any documentation that states it is capable of debugging ARM, only x86 and x64 applications.
There is a Windbg provided in the ARM toolkit that is the windowed version of armsd which is not related to the microsoft WindDbg.

Viewing permissions in Windbg

I wanted to know how to view permissions(rwx) in Windbg of DLL like viewing it in Linux:

The ba command (Break on Access) in WinDbg is not working as advertised in the book Advanced Windows Debugging by Daniel Pravat and Mario Hewardt

I am reading the book Advanced Windows Debugging: Developing and Administering Reliable, Robust, and Secure Software by Daniel Pravat and Mario Hewardt. I have questions about Chapter 2.
I am using WinDBG 10.0.19041.1 X86 on Windows 10 Pro Version 2004 build 19041.572. I built 02sample.exe with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.7.6 with the GenerateDebugInformation property set to DebugFull. I am debugging the Debug|x86 configuration of 02sample.exe.
I am reading the section in chapter 2 named Setting a Breakpoint on Access and I am seeing differences between what is in the book and what I am experiencing.
The first difference in behavior is with the following command.
0:000> dt gGlobal
This command fails with the following error.
Symbol gGlobal not found.
The following command does work.
0:000> dt 02sample!gGlobal
*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for 02sample.exe
gGlobal
+0x000 m_ref : 0n0
The next difference in behavior is with the following command.
0:000> ba w4 gGlobal+0
Based on the following output, this appears to work.
0:000> bl
0 e Disable Clear 00969130 w 4 0001 (0001) 0:**** 02sample!gGlobal
However, the breakpoint is not being hit. I cannot figure out why.
Symbols Are probably Not Yet Loaded
try either .reload /f or .reload /f foo.exe
before attempting unqualified dt gGlobal
a qualified foo!gGlobal will always work because it loads the symbols
check with !sym noisy

how is the Book Telling You to set the ba breakpoint ?
You Cannot Set a ba breakpoint on a module when you are Stopped At System Breakpoint
Because the system will reset the thread context
you have to go the Entry Point and then Set the ba breakpoint as windbg suggests do you do that ?

How to do hybrid user-mode/kernel-mode debugging?

Basically, I have a user mode program that calls kernel32.CreateProcessA() which internally calls kernel32.CreateProcessInternalW(). Within this function, I'm interested in what is happening inside ntdll.NtCreateSection() which attempts to map the executable in virtual memory. Once in this function, the program quickly sets up the kernel call as EAX=0x32 and executes the SYSENTER instruction.
Obviously I can't see beyond the call gate in a user mode debugger. I have a little experience debugging kernel-mode drivers, so I loaded a copy of XP SP3 in a VMWare window and used VirtualKD to conect the pipe to the WinDbg (which I happen to be running inside IDA). After connecting the kernel debugger, I copied my user-mode EXE program and PDB onto the virtual machine, but I'm kind of at a loss on how to set the initial breakpoint in my user-mode program properly. I don't want to intercept all calls to the equivalent ntdll.ZwCreateSection() which I believe to be on the other side of the call gate. Ideally, I'd like to break into the user-mode code and step through that call gate now that I'm using a Kernel debugger, but I don't know what the first steps are.
I've done some googling and I've come close by setting a "ntsd -d" value in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\myprocess.exe
This causes a break in the kernel debugger when I start my process, but I can't seem to set any breakpoints following the .breakin command I need to issue to IDA to get to the WinDbg prompt. I've been following this guide where I locate my process with !process then switch to the context, and reload the symbols but I'm having problems setting the breakpoint in my process or advancing past the initial breakpoint set by "ntsd -d". After getting the message that the breakpoint could not be resolved and a deferred breakpoint is added, I cannot seem to advance "into" to the process without clearing the breakpoints if that makes any sense. Here's the stack of where I seem to be at when I hit that initial break:

To be honest, I'm not sure my PDB is being loaded but I suspect its probably not my immediate problem; my modules pane is only showing kernel driver modules, not user mode modules. When I had been doing driver debugging in the past, I could see my driver image in this pane and whether or not the symbols had loaded, so I'm not sure what to expect for a user-mode image.
Without the image, I can't really expect the debugger to resolve any breakpoints.
I realize I may be going about this completely wrong but I'm not having any luck searching for how to do user-mode/kernel-mode hybrid debugging. Is there anyone out there that could point me in the right direction so I can step into this kernel mode function from a specific user-mode process? Or, at least set a proper kernel-mode breakpoint so it is only triggered as a result of my particular user-mode process?
UPDATE:
I loaded my module (happens to be named runlist.exe) in a user-mode debugger on the debugged OS (I happened to use OllyDbg). Once I was paused at a user-mode breakpoint only a couple instructions from SYSENTER, I suspended the OS using the kernel debugger. I then set the process context. The WinDbg command window contents were as follows:
WINDBG>!process 0 0 runlist.exe
PROCESS 820645a8 SessionId: 0 Cid: 01b4 Peb: 7ffd7000 ParentCid: 02b0
DirBase: 089c02e0 ObjectTable: e1671bb0 HandleCount: 8.
Image: runlist.exe
WINDBG>.process /i /r /p 820645a8
You need to continue execution (press 'g' <enter>) for the context
to be switched. When the debugger breaks in again, you will be in
the new process context.
WINDBG>g
This command cannot be passed to the WinDbg plugin directly, please use IDA Debugger menu to achieve the same result.

Although I couldn't get my process' symbols to load with ".reload" (PDB is in the same directory - might need to copy it to my symbols dir), the breakpoint I care about is in ntdll anyway so I set it on the address 0x7C90D16A which the debugger recognized as being within ntdll.ZwCreateSection(). Oddly to me, in user-mode code this address resolves to ntdll.NtCreateSection(), but either way that breakpoint was only 2 instructions from where I had my user-mode break. When I resumed the machine, my intention was to "run" the user-mode debugged-process and this would trigger the kernel-mode breakpoint 2 instructions away. The kernel breakpoint was never hit and the app resumed past this point. I can however set a breakpoint on ntdll!ZwCreateSection() but then when resuming the OS, the breakpoint is repeatedly hit by other processes preventing me from getting back to the user-mode debugger so I can "run" it to that location only within my own process.
UPDATE
Merging the tips provided by #conio, the following steps worked for me:
1> after attaching kernel debugger and booting target OS, suspend the OS and apply some configuration options:
!gflag +ksl //allow sxe to report user-mode module load events under kernel debugger
sxe ld myproc.exe //cause kernel debugger break upon process load
.sympath+ <path> //path to HOST machine's user-mode app's symbols
2> run debugger to resume target OS
3> on the target, run the EXE we want to debug
4> kernel debugger should break; now enter the following commands to switch to the usermode context:
!process 0 0 myproc.exe //get address of EProcess structure (first number on 1st line after "PROCESS")
.process /i /r /p <eprocess*> //set kernel debugger to process context
g //continue execution to allow the context switch; debugger will break after switch complete
.reload /user //reload user symbols
lmu //ensure you have symbols although not really necessary in my particular case
5> now since I already know what happens in the user-mode side of ntdll.NtCreateSection(), I just went ahead and set a breakpoint for the kernel mode side of that function, but specifying that I want the breakpoint to occur only within the context of my process. This way, the breakpoint is not triggered OS wide:
bu /p <eprocess*> nt!NtCreateSection //set breakpoint in kernel side of function
g //run to break
6> if all goes as planned, the breakpoint will wake up the debugger on the kernel mode side of NtCreateSection(). I appreciate all the responses and tips!
There are two ways to combine user-mode debugging with kernel-mode debugging and you're confusing and mixing them up.
The way you tried is to use the kernel-mode debugger to debug kernel-mode code, use the user-mode debugger (ntsd) to debug user-mode code, and control the user-mode debugger running on the target machine from the kernel debugger. That's what the -d flag to ntsd does. This method is described in the Controlling the User-Mode Debugger from the Kernel Debugger page and its subpages on MSDN.
What this does (more or less) is to redirect ntsd input and output to the kernel debugger. The modules pane - as the rest of the windows in WinDbg - belong to the kernel debugger. Your only interaction with the user-mode debugger is through the tunnel the kernel debugger creates, and you can access it only through the command window. This is documented in the documentation for the -d flag:
-d
        Passes control of this debugger to the kernel debugger. If you are debugging CSRSS, this control redirection always is active, even if -d is not specified. (This option cannot be used during remote debugging -- use -ddefer instead.) See Controlling the User-Mode Debugger from the Kernel Debugger for details. This option cannot be used in conjunction with either the -ddefer option or the -noio option.
        Note  If you use WinDbg as the kernel debugger, many of the familiar features of WinDbg are not available in this scenario. For example, you cannot use the Locals window, the Disassembly window, or the Call Stack window, and you cannot step through source code. This is because WinDbg is only acting as a viewer for the debugger (NTSD or CDB) running on the target computer.
The second way, which is the one used in the link you put, is to use the kernel debugger to debug both kernel-mode code and user-mode code. No user-mode debugger. No ntsd. You said you've followed the guide, but in fact you didn't. If you had, there wouldn't be any ntsd.
I suggest you use this method for start, and after you use the user-mode debugger only if you find out you need to ( because you want to use a user-mode extension, for example).
In order for the kernel debugger to work well with user-mode modules you have to enable the Enable loading of kernel debugger symbols GlobalFlag. Use !gflag +ksl to do that.
Once you do that, break on the loading of your process using sxe ld:runlist, set the breakpoint (possibly with the /p option) and debug whatever it is that you want.
Just do that instead of all the ntsd mess.
Use ntsd -d and start debugging the executabke from target with a kd connection you can use the kd as an usermode debugger as well as kernel debugger read the docs several times it is not easy doing it furst time but over several trials you should get the hang of it read about .breakin etc

Which version of sos and clr/mscorwks.dll to load?

I have a 32-bit application (targeting .NET 3.5) hosted on a 64-bit machine. I want to analyze the memory dump of this 32-bit application. I captured the memory dump using 32-bit adplus and cdb. I am loading the memory dump into 32-bit windbg. When I load .net 2.0 sos.dll and .net 2.0 mscorwks.dll into windbg and execute !clrstack, I get the following error: "Failed to find runtime DLL (mscorwks.dll), 0x80004005
Extension commands need mscorwks.dll in order to have something to do." What am I doing wrong?
Info as requested in the comments
ADPlus command line:
adplus -hang -quiet -p 2440 -o C:\temp
WinDbg commands:
0:000> .load <fullpathto>\sos.dll
0:000> lmvm mscorwks
start end module name
0:000> .exr -1
ExceptionAddress: 00000000
ExceptionCode: 80000007 (Wake debugger)
ExceptionFlags: 00000000
NumberParameters: 0
The dump indicates that no .NET 2 was loaded. Otherwise the output of lmvm mscorwks should show the details of the .NET runtime, like this:
0:003> lmvm mscorwks
start end module name
61bc0000 6216e000 mscorwks (deferred)
Image path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll
...
File version: 2.0.50727.5485
...
You mentioned that you loaded SOS by full path. If the dump was taken on your machine, you would typically load it using
0:003> .loadby sos mscorwks
In your case, this should already give you the hint that .NET was not loaded:
Unable to find module 'mscorwks'
If you're not so sure about the .NET version, try
.loadby sos clr; *** .NET 4
.loadby sos coreclr; *** Silverlight / Universal Apps
Maybe you had a typo in your AdPlus command line and specified the wrong process ID. If that PID accidentally exists, you got a wrong dump. Use | to check the process name
0:003> |
. 0 id: 1e78 attach name: E:\...\NET2x32.exe
BTW: The -quiet parameter of ADPlus is obsolete, you can omit it.

Sometimes Windows Crash while LabVIEW operator Advantech PCI-1716 card

The system include 2 Advantech PCI-1716 card:http://www.advantech.com/products/PCI-1716/mod_86EC4C4D-F497-45C5-81DA-B8600C0EB36F.aspx
I write a program with NI LabVIEW 7.1.
The LabVIEW program can control the two PCI 1716 card.
It work very good.
But about a year later, The computer crashed and sometimes auto restart.
Nobody change the software and hardware.
I used WinDbg to analysis the Windows crash dump file and I think I find something abnormal.
For the WinDbg result, I think maybe the PCI-1716 driver was broken so I re-installed it.
But the problem also happen.
And I also re-installed my windows xp.
The also problem happen again.
I don't know how.
Maybe the PCI 1716 hardware broken.
But how to find which one, there are two PCI 1716 card.
The WinDbg result is:

I'd run Memtest86+ just to see if you have any bad RAM.
Following that maybe you can pull 1 card out and write a simple script to do some I/O (similar to what you're doing normally maybe). If it takes a while you could put it into a loop and run it for a while and see if you can force a crash. You could repeat the test on each card to see if you have any issues with just one of the cards.
Does the crash happen often or rarely?
