[edk2-devel] [Patch V7 0/2]UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Enable execute disable bit.

[Yuanhao Xie]

This patch series synchronizes the No-Execute bit in the IA32_EFER
register for the APs before the RestoreVolatileRegisters operation.
It also updated the comments of _CPU_MP_DATA to delcared that
duplications in CpuMpData are present to avoid to be direct accessed
and comprehended in assembly code.

It updated the structure comments compared with V6.

[edk2-devel] [Patch V7 1/2] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Enable execute disable bit.

[Yuanhao Xie]

From: Yuanhao Xie <yuanhao.xie@intel.com>

This patch synchronizes the No-Execute bit in the IA32_EFER
register for the APs before the RestoreVolatileRegisters operation.

The commit 964a4f0, titled "Eliminate the second INIT-SIPI-SIPI
sequence," replaces the second INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence with the BSP
calling the SwitchApContext function to initiate a specialized start-up
signal, waking up APs in the DXE instead of using INIT-SIPI-SIPI.

Due to this change, the logic for "Enable execute disable bit" in
MpFuncs.nasm is no longer executed. However, to ensure the proper setup
of the page table, it is necessary to synchronize the IA32_EFER.NXE for
APs before executing RestoreVolatileRegisters .

Based on SDM:
If IA32_EFER.NXE is set to 1, it signifies execute-disable, meaning
instruction fetches are not allowed from the 4-KByte page controlled by
this entry. Conversely, if it is set to 0, it is reserved.

[edk2-devel] [Patch V7 2/2] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Update the comments of _CPU_MP_DATA.

[Yuanhao Xie]

No functional changes in this patch.

Updates the comments of _CPU_MP_DATA to delcared that duplications in
CpuMpData are present to avoid to be direct accessed and comprehended
 in assembly code. CpuMpData: Intended for use in C code while
 ExchangeInfo are used in assembly code in this module.

This patch deletes the unnecessary comments in CpuMpData, since
CpuMpData is no longer responsible for passing information from PEI to
DXE.
