I think that this is a fatal error in EDK2. It basically says, "we are out
of stack space." The alternative is: the system hangs in an unexpected way
since the stack overflows into other pages.

Subject: Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdePkg/BaseLib: Globally include ChkStk.c

We discussed internally in Intel.

The quick workaround is: use /Gs65536. :-)

At the same time, our recommendation is to revisit the code which triggers
this error. Why this function need such a big stack? And try to reduce the
local stack usage.

What is why we still use /Gs32768 as default, instead of /Gs65536.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen
