Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 2/2] StandaloneMmPkg: Fix HOB space and heap space conflicted issue

["Nhi Pham via groups.io" <nhi=os.amperecomputing.com@groups.io>]

Hi Ard and Ming,

I have been seeing an issue with StandaloneMM HobLib that can be fixed 
by this patch as well.

The function CreateHob() in the HobLib instance 
StandaloneMmPkg/Library/StandaloneMmCoreHobLib/StandaloneMmCoreHobLib.inf 
does not work at all. The HobList is early created by the 
StandaloneMmCoreEntryPoint then it is relocated on the heap memory by 
StandaloneMmCore. But the FreeMemoryTop and FreeMemoryBottom are not 
updated accordingly and the HOB free memory top is overlapped with the 
heap space. This causes the CreateHob() function to not work as 
expected. Introducing the PcdMemoryHobSize is reasonable to fix this issue.

I tested this patch in my end.

Tested-by: Nhi Pham <nhi@os.amperecomputing.com>

Thanks,

-Nhi
