Using present count of CPUs might potentially break things if there were hotplugged CPUs with follow up S3 and wakeup dute this code: MpInitLibInitialize() OldCpuMpData = GetCpuMpDataFromGuidedHob (); if (OldCpuMpData == NULL) { MaxLogicalProcessorNumber = PcdGet32(PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber); } else { MaxLogicalProcessorNumber = OldCpuMpData->CpuCount; } I've traced this part of code under QEMU with PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber set to present number of CPUs and currently OldCpuMpData is always NULL on resume so PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber gets updated CPU count from platform and it resumes seemingly fine but I won't bet that it's correct. here is a patch I've used for this experiment: diff --git a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc index 3f4d42d..ce80690 100644 --- a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc +++ b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc @@ -455,6 +455,7 @@ ################################################################################ [PcdsDynamicDefault] + gUefiCpuPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber|10 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableNvStoreReserved|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase64|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageFtwWorkingBase|0 diff --git a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc index 5688475..f7697b1 100644 --- a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc +++ b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc @@ -461,6 +461,7 @@ ################################################################################ [PcdsDynamicDefault] + gUefiCpuPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber|10 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableNvStoreReserved|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase64|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageFtwWorkingBase|0 diff --git a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc index dcf64b9..4034989 100644 --- a/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc +++ b/OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc @@ -460,6 +460,7 @@ ################################################################################ [PcdsDynamicDefault] + gUefiCpuPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber|10 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableNvStoreReserved|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase64|0 gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageFtwWorkingBase|0 diff --git a/OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/MemDetect.c b/OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/MemDetect.c index d00a570..e205fe7 100644 --- a/OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/MemDetect.c +++ b/OvmfPkg/PlatformPei/MemDetect.c @@ -342,6 +342,7 @@ PublishPeiMemory ( UINT64 MemorySize; UINT32 LowerMemorySize; UINT32 PeiMemoryCap; + UINT16 CpuCount; LowerMemorySize = GetSystemMemorySizeBelow4gb (); if (FeaturePcdGet (PcdSmmSmramRequire)) { @@ -351,6 +352,12 @@ PublishPeiMemory ( LowerMemorySize -= FixedPcdGet8 (PcdQ35TsegMbytes) * SIZE_1MB; } + QemuFwCfgSelectItem (QemuFwCfgItemSmpCpuCount); + //QemuFwCfgSelectItem (QemuFwCfgItemMaximumCpuCount); + CpuCount = QemuFwCfgRead16 (); + Status = PcdSet32S(PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber, CpuCount); + DEBUG ((EFI_D_INFO, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX: QemuFwCfgItemSmpCpuCount: %u\n", CpuCount)); + // // If S3 is supported, then the S3 permanent PEI memory is placed next, // downwards.
