Windows Internals by M. Russinovich, D. Solomon and A. Ionescu:

Viewing the loaded driver list (pp. 546 - 547) - if we don’t see company information in lmv command output we can examine raw driver data like in this pattern: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2007/08/16/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-22/

DriverEntry (p. 548) - consider this as similar to main (console) or WinMain (Win32). For example, if you are writing a Windows service you have to register certain functions with SCM.

Dispatch routines (p. 548) - if you know C++ consider them as class functions for a device object where DeviceObject is a this parameter (C++ class function implementation in C where an implicit this becomes the first function argument):

NTSTATUS (*PDRIVER_DISPATCH) (IN PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject, IN PIRP Irp);

and a driver object can be seen as a container for a virtual function table (vtable) for a device object (purely from implementation perspective): devObj->DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_XXX]

Relationship between device and driver objects (pp. 553 - 554) - long time ago when I was preparing a presentation about Windows drivers for escalation engineers I created some UML diagrams you can see in the following blog post: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2006/10/08/uml-and-device-drivers/ 

AttachedDevice vs. AttachedTo (p.554)

File object structure and extension (pp. 556 - 557) - Here are driver, device and file object structures from x64 W2K8:

Windows Internals by M. Russinovich, D. Solomon and A. Ionescu:

File and registry virtualization is for 32-bit apps only  (p. 522)

Files (as locations) with executable extensions are excluded from virtualization (p. 524)

luafv.sys - filesystem virtualization driver (pp. 524 - 525)

\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\*.* (p. 525)  

Admin Approval Mode, over-the-shoulder and consent elevations (p. 529)

appinfo.dll -> consent.exe (p. 529)

Process reparenting (p. 531)

Running regedt32.exe to get virtualized registry view (p. 533)

Typical I/O request flow (pp. 540 - 541) - here is a stack trace example from x64 Windows for a remote file request that reaches network drivers (some irrelevant 3rd-party filter drivers like antivirus were skipped):

Windows Internals by M. Russinovich, D. Solomon and A. Ionescu:

Local security policy audit (pp. 511 - 512) - I used in the past to recommend process audit to track process launch sequences for debugging purposes

Access tokens have separate ACL (pp. 512 - 513)

MSV1_0 - local authentication package (p. 513)

Default credential providers authui.dll amd SmartcardCredentialProvider.dll (p. 514) - Here are stack traces from x64 LogonUI.exe:

So according to memory dump analysis pattern terminology these 2 processes are strongly coupled and this fact can be used for analysis logon problems in terminal services environments: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2007/09/26/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-28/

Windows Internals by M. Russinovich, D. Solomon and A. Ionescu:

Hard CPU limits per-session, -user and -system (pp. 444-445)

Security and user-interface limits on jobs (p. 447)

job objects (pp. 447 - 450) - we can dump all processes via !process 0 1 command and look for “Job ” in the output as on my x64 W2K8 system:

C2 reqs: SLF - DAC - SAC - ORP (p. 452) - mnemonic to remember perhaps for security exams like CISSP

B reqs: TPF - TFM (p. 453)

Security targets and protection profiles (p. 453)

Advanced .NET Debugging by M. Hewardt:

type handle as a pointer to method table (p. 53) - I liked managed heap - execution engine boundary and propose this colored space diagram (will add this to Dictionary of Debugging soon as a tripartite “virtual” memory  division) :

 

!DumpModule command (p. 57)

!U command (pp. 58 - 59)

!DumpMT command (p. 59)

!DumpMT -md to dump type method descriptors (p. 60)

!DumpMD command (p. 60)

m_CodeOrIL: 00920070 (p. 61) - the address looks like as UNICODE string but I belive this is just a coincidence, the false positive of Wild Pointer pattern: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2008/03/11/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-55/

Comments in italics are mine and express my own views, thoughts and opinions

Windows Internals by M. Russinovich, D. Solomon and A. Ionescu:

per-PRCB queued, system-wide dispatcher, system-wide context swap and per-thread spinlocks (pp. 434-435)

physical over logical processor preference for scheduling (p. 435)

!smt command (p. 436) - here is the putput from x64 machine (from the output we can infer the following relationship logical processor -> core -> physical processor):

1: kd> !smt
SMT Summary:
------------
  KeActiveProcessors: **-------------------------------------------------------------- (0000000000000003)
  KiIdleSummary: -*-------------------------------------------------------------- (0000000000000002)
 No PRCB SMT Set APIC Id
  0 fffff80001991680 **-------------------------------------------------------------- (0000000000000003) 0x00000000
  1 fffffa60005ec180 **-------------------------------------------------------------- (0000000000000003) 0x00000001

Maximum cores per physical processor: 2
Maximum logical processors per core: 1

NUMA (pp. 436 - 438) - I can see NUMA even on my small desktop system :-)

1: kd> !numa
NUMA Summary:
------------
  Number of NUMA nodes : 1
  Number of Processors : 2
  MmAvailablePages : 0x000C7CB9

Thread affinity (pp. 438 - 440) - see also Affine Thread crash dump analysis pattern: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2008/06/27/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-68/

uniprocessor flag as a workaround for multithreading defects (p. 439)

Set(Query)ProcessAffinityUpdateMode and dynamic processor changes (p. 442)

choosing a processor (idle ideal -> idle current -> idle previous -> current -> ideal running less priority thread) (pp. 433 - 444)

no guarantee to run all highest priority threads vs. always runs the highest priority thread (p. 444)

Advanced .NET Debugging by M. Hewardt:

value vs. reference types (p. 42)

sosex!bpsc (p. 46)

per frame managed stack trace: !ClrStack -a (p. 46)

d* for simple local value types, !dumpobj for references, !dumpvc for value type fields (pp. 46 - 47)

sync blocks (pp. 49 - 52) - here is the output from my x64 test program:
