Re: [PATCH V2 3/3] UefiCpuPkg: Add New Memory Attributes

["Oleksiy Yakovlev" <oleksiyy@ami.com>]

Hi Laszlo.

I think WP should be included also. Spec says that WP "typically used as a cacheability attribute today".

Do you want me to submit just additional patch for CpuDxe.h, or resubmit the whole series adding this inclusion of WP to EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK in  CpuDxe.h?

Regards, Oleksiy.

(1) These changes have an additional effect. EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK
does not include EFI_MEMORY_WP, but EFI_CACHE_ATTRIBUTE_MASK does.

(1a) If that change is intentional, then this patch can remain as it is,
but we need an extra patch prepended (i.e., inserted between v2 patches
#2 and #3), for adding EFI_MEMORY_WP to EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK first.

(1b) If the EFI_MEMORY_WP change is not intended (i.e., it is an
oversight in this patch), then in every spot where we replace
EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK with EFI_CACHE_ATTRIBUTE_MASK, we need to
account for EFI_MEMORY_WP separately.

... After reading up on EFI_MEMORY_WP in the UEFI spec, I think it's
(1a) -- meaning that, this patch is correct, in itself. But, we should
still not hide the EFI_MEMORY_WP bugfix, for EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK,
in this patch.

So please insert a new patch just before this one, that does nothing
other than include EFI_MEMORY_WP in EFI_MEMORY_CACHETYPE_MASK.

The rest of the patch looks OK to me. Therefore, for this patch (in itself):

Eric, Ray, Rahul: correct me if I'm wrong, please.
