Seems to be well documented (both in commit messages and in the BZ), and
the series was approved by a BaseTools maintainer [1] before the soft
feature freeze [2].

[1] https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45783
[2] https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45806

The series can be pushed during the soft feature freeze, according to
the current SFF definition.

Some requests regarding the bugzilla:

- Comment 0 in the bugzilla says "redesign the platform hash algorithm".
I feel that would be better reflected if we changed the Product field to
TianoCore Feature Requests.

- Please capture the v1..v6 cover letters, with mailing list archive
links, in the bugzilla.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45707 [PATCH] UefiCpuPkg: Adding a new TSC library by using CPUID(0x15) TSC leaf

Accepted by a UefiCpuPkg maintainer [3] before the SFF [2].

[3] https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45787

Can be pushed during the soft feature freeze, according to the current
SFF definition.

According to my comments sent earlier today for this series, the
documentation and the bugzilla status are extremely lacking. I'm OK with
pushing the series, but those aspects should be fixed in the bugzilla.
Please see <https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45826>.

In addition, it appears multiple versions of the patch have been sent,
without using "vN" identifiers in the subject prefix. Please collect all
versions of the patch series from the mailing list archive, in
chronological order, and link them all into the bugzilla ticket.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45503 [PATCH v2 1/1] MdePkg: Add STATIC_ASSERT macro

I commented on this today, as well:
<https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45827>

I disagree with the maintainer approval for this patch, from a reviewer
perspective. I think the submission isn't complete enough / mature
enough at this stage. The first version of the patch was posted on 12
Aug <https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45451>, as far as I can see.
Why are we in a mortal hurry to add a central macro without any call
sites in edk2 proper?

Anyway I'm not going to NACK the patch. If Mike is fine with the patch
as-is, I'll live with that, with my disagreement noted.

> Bug List:
> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45794  [PATCH 1/1] CryptoPkg: Fix coding style

Purely from the subject line, looks like a bugfix, so no conflict with
the *soft* feature freeze.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45791 [PATCH v2 1/1] ShellPkg/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib: Replace shift logical left

Clearly a bugfix, so ditto.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45793 [Patch 1/1] BaseTools: Fixed issue of incorrect Module Unique Name

Ditto.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45773 [Patch v4 0/6] Add "test then write" mechanism

Sigh, this is a messy question.

To my eyes, this introduces a feature. The cover letter says "add ...
mechanism". Even though it is used to fix a bug, it still introduces a
new facility, in my opinion. So here I disagree with
<https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45590>.

For UefiCpuPkg, Ray and Eric are Maintainers, and I'm a reviewer. The
submitter is Eric, and Ray is away. Eric asked me to review
<https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45489>.

I reviewed v2. Then v3 was posted (not sure in response to what, as I
can't see any comments under v2 that requested the v3 changes). V3
received a bunch of comments, so v4 was posted quickly afterwards.

The posting of v4 was still in time for the SFF, but I only arrived at
it after the SFF. (And Ray is still away.) Technically speaking, in my
book, this series has missed the stable tag. But that's not the
submitter's fault, arguably.

On this, I am undecided. I will defer to the other stewards. If they are
fine with the series going in, I'm OK too.

> https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45317 [Patch] MdeModulePkg DxeCore: Fix for missing MAT update

This is a bugfix and therefore there is no conflict with the soft
feature freeze. Jian provided a maintainer R-b, and I asked for a
comment style cleanup and some documentation (commit message)
improvements. In addition, perhaps we should conditionalize the logic on
the gEfiMemoryTypeInformationGuid GUID HOB. (The discussion between
Liming and myself on where the HOB can come from is irrelevant in that
regard -- wherever the HOB comes from, it is suitable for checking in
the DXE core, I think.)

I think it's fine to submit a v2 and merge it during the soft feature
freeze (again, bugfix, so no conflict). I may not be around to review
v2, so don't wait for my feedback.

Thanks
Laszlo

Liming,

I would like to include the following bug fixes to EmulatorPkg in the stable tag:

https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45953  [edk2-devel] [Patch V5 00/11] EmulatorPkg: Fix VS20xx IA32 boot and simplify build config

The first set of patches were sent for review on 8/1.  Most of the EmulatorPkg combinations cannot build or boot without these fixes.  I am waiting for final reviews from the maintainers Ray and Jordan and approval from stewards before pushing this series.

Thanks,

Mike

The whole patches had gone through 4 rounds of review process while I was away.
I had a deep look at the whole changes and all look very good. (except a minor copyright year issue in the 6/6 patch.)

I see there is another version sent out on Friday that includes
the usage.  We do need to make sure all the compiler we use
are compatible with this macro.  The one that may be a challenge
is EBC.

I think this is a valuable new feature, but I have not see 
The critical reason why this has to go in for the 201908
stable tag.  I would rather see it as one of the first 
item after the stable tag so it can get lots of flight 
time.

Liming, Below patch already got the reviewed-by tag before the freezing point. Can I push it now?

Leif, Andrew,
Better if a "yes" could be from one of you so that makes 3 "yes" of 4.

Thanks,

All stewards,
Though it was already listed by Liming, I would like explicitly ask for including below changes in the coming stable tag:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/45773 [Patch v4 0/6] Add "test then write" mechanism

The whole patches had gone through 4 rounds of review process while I was away.
I had a deep look at the whole changes and all look very good. (except a minor copyright year issue in the 6/6 patch.)


Thanks,
Ray
