[PATCH v1 1/5] Basetools/GenFw: Allow AARCH64 builds to use the --prm flag

[Sami Mujawar]

From: Jose Marinho <jose.marinho@arm.com>

The GenFw invocation with the --prm flag was previously reserved for
X64.
AArch64 platforms, built with GCC5, can also deploy PRM modules, hence
the --prm flag is also applicable in builds targeting the AARCH64
architecture.

This commit enables the --prm flag to be used for EDK2 builds targeting
AARCH64.

[PATCH v1 3/5] PrmPkg: Build Prm Samples with GCC for AARCH64

[Sami Mujawar]

From: Jose Marinho <jose.marinho@arm.com>

- Add the --prm flag to the GENFW_FLAGS
- Add the --no-gc-section to the linker flags so that apparently
unreferenced symbols are not prematurely removed from the .dll which
is used to generate the Prm module .efi.
- Force the linker to maintain the PrmModuleExportDescriptor symbol.
- Force the linker to maintain the PRM handler funtion's symbol.

[PATCH v1 5/5] PrmPkg: Add details on AArch64 build to the Readme.

[Sami Mujawar]

From: Jose Marinho <jose.marinho@arm.com>

Specify how to build the PrmPkg for the AArch64 architecture.
Make the 2 following notes:
 - the PrmPkg has only been tested on AArch64 using the GCC5
toolchain.
 - All symbols to be listed in the PRMT as well as the
PrmModuleExportDescriptor must be explicitly preserved by resorting to
the --require-defined linker flag.

For the series: Reviewed-by: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

The patch formatting seems a little strange:

1. The patches don't have "Cc" lines.

2. What is this GUID message at the bottom of each patch?

    'Guid(CE165669-3EF3-493F-B85D-6190EE5B9759)'

By the way, I tested the AARCH64 PRM build with sample modules on VS2019 
a while back, so I see that you mentioned only testing GCC (thanks for 
helping get the functions in the export table there) but it should work 
in VS as well.

Michael

[SAMI] I have added this so that I can easily search my patches. It does

[SAMI] I have tried building PrmPkg with VS2019 and found that the 
AARCH64 builds do not work.

Stop.

Can you please let me know if this is a configuration/environment issue 
or the AARCH64 assembly files need to be ported for Visual Studio?

I have tried building other Arm packages and though the assembler files 
need porting, which I believe has been done as part of ProjectMu 
(https://github.com/microsoft/mu_silicon_arm_tiano).

It would be good to have AARCH64 builds of edk2 with Visual Studio as 
this would allow to use the VS static analysis tool.

Can you let me know if you have any plans to enable this support in 
Tianocore\edk2 project, please?

Okay, no problem I had just not seen it before.

I did build it with Project Mu picking up PrmPkg as a submodule. Yes, I 
will investigate enabling this in edk2.

i don't maintain any of the packages in question, but the changes look
appropriate to me, so

Hi Sami,

I see you created a PR that is marked as draft with these changes:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/3167

When you're ready for them to be submitted, if you could please create a 
non-draft PR with the review tags added, I'd be happy to push it.

Thanks,
Michael
