[PATCH v2 1/1] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Reduce reset vector memory pressure

[PATCH v2 1/1] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Reduce reset vector memory pressure

[Lendacky, Thomas]

From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>

The AP reset vector stack allocation is only required if running as an
SEV-ES guest. Since the reset vector allocation is below 1MB in memory,
eliminate the requirement for bare-metal systems and non SEV-ES guests
to allocate the extra stack area, which can be large if the
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber value is large, and also remove the
CPU_STACK_ALIGNMENT alignment.

- I don't remember if it's required that the APIC ID space be densely
populated. For example, if we have a topology with 7 possible (=
maximum) logical CPUs, I'm unsure if a spec forbids any of those CPUs
from having APIC ID 7. That could cause a problem in
MpInitLibSevEsAPReset(), I assume.

Anyway: that's a different topic. This patch looks OK to me because it
only spells out the existent assumption wrt. APIC IDs vs.
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber, plus it does solve the problem it wants
to solve.

- I was a bit surprised at first upon seeing the reordering of alignment
vs. addition. But AP_RESET_STACK_SIZE is a whole multiple of
CPU_STACK_ALIGNMENT. So adding AP_RESET_STACK_SIZE to Size n times as
first step, does not change the congruence class of Size modulo
CPU_STACK_ALIGNMENT. Therefore ALIGN_VALUE() will increment Size by the
same value, regardless of whether it's done before or after the
AP_RESET_STACK_SIZE additions.

- We should insert a space character after "PcdGet32", before merging
this patch. I think Ray or Eric could do this without a repost.

Ah, yes, I did change that order. I could submit one more version that 
puts the ALIGN_VALUE back to the original position and fix the PcdGet32 
space if that is desired (but, as you determined, it doesn't change the 
resulting value). I'm surprised that PatchCheck.py didn't pick up on the 
spacing with PcdGet32.

Given that the stack grows down, one could plausibly claim that the
variant seen in this patch (= align at last) is *more* intuitive.

I'm OK with this version merged (with the whitespace fixed up).

Or maybe ECC should warn about it in CI?...

FWIW, there are many bare metal processors with non-contiguous APIC IDs. 
  Intel puts the socket ID in the upper bits of the APIC ID.  So if the 
socket doesn't have a power-of-two number of cores, there is always a 
gap.  Plus, the BSP doesn't always have APIC ID 0 -- it depends on which 
physical cores passed the manufacturing tests for that particular part. 
That has broken various kernels, BIOSes, and other software at times. 
So it's best not to make assumptions.

I don't know if that applies to VMs, though.  The standards may be 
different (if there are any standards at all in that area.)

Yes, I'm working on a patch to use GetProcessorNumber() instead of using 
the APIC ID.

Any concern from the maintainers on this? Are you waiting on me for
