Hi, Stewards and All:

 So far, there are still three patch sets to be requested to catch this stable tag. They are bug fixes, and pass code review in soft feature freeze phase. Have you any comments for them?

1. Fix two issue in ArmGicLib (https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/72175)

2. Fix CET shadow stack token busy bit clear issue (https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/71864)

[Liming] this version uses DB for the instruction. BZ https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3227 is create for future enhancement.

3. Use XADD to avoid lock acquire/release (https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/71516)

Thanks

Liming

主题: [edk2-devel] Soft Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202102

Hi, all

We will enter into Soft Feature Freeze phase. In this phase, the feature under review will not be allowed to be merged. The feature passed review can still be merged.

The patch review can continue without break in edk2 community. If the patch is sent before Soft Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag, the patch contributor need reply to his patch and notify edk2 community. If the patch is sent after Soft Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag, please add edk2-stable202102 key words in the patch title and BZ, so the community know this patch target and give the feedback.

Below is edk2-stable202102 tag planning https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning Proposed Schedule
