[PATCH v4 0/2] Create UART DebugLib implementation for runtime drivers

[PATCH v4 0/2] Create UART DebugLib implementation for runtime drivers

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Commit 4bf95a9f361e ("MdeModulePkg/ResetSystemRuntimeDxe: Add more debug
message") broke the DEBUG build for systems using a MMIO mapped UART for
DEBUG output. In other words, it broke the build for all ARM and AARCH64
systems, given that port I/O does not exist on those architectures.

Instead of patching it up locally, let's fix this issue once and for all,
by creating a UART DebugLib implementation for DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules
that does the right thing by default.

v4:
- add Laszlo's R-b
- keep ASSERT() message in local buffer even it is not printed to the serial
  port, to allow it to be accessed via the debugger

v3:
- revert PCD changes, as they are unnecessary for the PCDs in question (since
  they are fixed or patchable only)
- drop redundant mEfiAtRuntime checks around ASSERT()s
- revert whitespace cleanup, i.e., move back to BaseDebugLibSerialPort origin
  for most of the file

v2:
- incorporate Laszlo's feedback into patch #1
- add Laszlo's R-b to patch #2
- dropped patch #3 that blacklists the original BASE implementation for
  DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules

Note that I retained the deadloop/breakpoint code for ASSERT()s at runtime.
I think it is perfectly reasonable behavior for a DEBUG build at runtime,
even if other cores may be up and running as well: the purpose of these
facilities is to allow a debugger to attach to the CPU to figure out what
has happened, and both deadloops and breakpoints can achieve that just
fine even at runtime.

[PATCH v4 1/2] MdePkg: introduce DxeRuntimeDebugLibSerialPort

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Introduce a variant of BaseDebugLibSerialPort that behaves correctly with
regards to the use of the serial port after ExitBootServices(). At boot
time, all DEBUG() prints and ASSERT() invocations are executed normally.
At runtime, DEBUG() prints are dropped entirely, and ASSERT()s omit the
serial output as well, and only perform the configured post-ASSERT()
action, i.e., issue a CPU breakpoint or enter a deadloop.

[PATCH v4 2/2] ArmVirtPkg: switch to DXE runtime version of DebugLib where appropriate

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Switch all users of ArmVirt.dsc.inc to the new DebugLib implementation
that was created especially for DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER modules, ensuring
that DEBUG() calls do not touch the UART at runtime.

Mike,

Given that all ARM and AARCH64 DEBUG builds are still broken, may we
please have your R-b on this patch so we can proceed to start fixing
things?

Thanks,
Ard.

Re: [PATCH v4 0/2] Create UART DebugLib implementation for runtime drivers

[Kinney, Michael D]

Ard,

Just a few comments:
* Please pre-initialize global mEfiAtRuntime = FALSE;
* The UNI file in the patch is identical to BaseDebugLibSerialPort.  
  Please update UNI file header and strings to describe this as the
  runtime version of the DebugLib as described in the .inf and .C files.
* gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDebugClearMemoryValue should be
  SOMETIMES_CONSUMES in the INF file.

With those changes:
