[SAMI] I think it would be better to extend the FieldValidator to include the length of the field being validated.  I think that should remove the requirement for RESERVED_SIZE_T (which by the way is a very confusing name).

This would mean that the code in ParseAcpi() at line 656 in file AcpiParser.c would need the following change.

- Parser[Index].FieldValidator (Ptr, Parser[Index].Context);

+Parser[Index].FieldValidator (Ptr, Parser[Index].Length, Parser[Index].Context);

Corresponding updates would be needed to FNPTR_FIELD_VALIDATOR and the usage across all Parsers.

-typedef VOID (EFIAPI *FNPTR_FIELD_VALIDATOR)(UINT8 *Ptr, VOID *Context);
+typedef VOID (EFIAPI *FNPTR_FIELD_VALIDATOR)(UINT8 *Ptr, UINTN Length, VOID *Context);

I think that would be a good overall improvement to the AcpiView Parsers.

It would also be beneficial to extend FNPTR_PRINT_FORMATTER on similar lines.
-typedef VOID (EFIAPI *FNPTR_PRINT_FORMATTER)(CONST CHAR16 *Format, UINT8 *Ptr);
+typedef VOID (EFIAPI *FNPTR_PRINT_FORMATTER)(CONST CHAR16 *Format, UINT8 *Ptr, UINTN Length);

[Rohit]

Ack.

I believe the length field for both API’s should be of UINT32 rather than UINTN to match with the parser’s definition. As UINTN is generally larger, we would never need the extra space, right?

[SAMI] I agree, UINT32 should be fine.

typedef struct AcpiParser {

  /// String describing the ACPI table field

  /// (Field column from ACPI table spec)

  CONST CHAR16             *NameStr;



  /// The length of the field.

  /// (Byte Length column from ACPI table spec)

  /// Length(in bits) of the bitfield if used with ParseAcpiBitFields().

  UINT32                   Length;

I just did a rough prototype for these changes to see the scope of impact and I can see that fieldvalidator changes would impact the following parsers.

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Aest/AestParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Dbg2/Dbg2Parser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Erst/ErstParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Fadt/FadtParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Gtdt/GtdtParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Hmat/HmatParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Iort/IortParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Madt/MadtParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Pcct/PcctParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Pptt/PpttParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Rsdp/RsdpParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Spcr/SpcrParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Srat/SratParser.c

~~

Likewise, The printformator change would impact the following parsers.

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Aest/AestParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Erst/ErstParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Fadt/FadtParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Hmat/HmatParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Madt/MadtParser.c

ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellAcpiViewCommandLib/Parsers/Srat/SratParser.c

~~

I’m assuming we wouldn’t need to test these parsers as the length param would stay unused for all other parsers that use these APIs. Checking as the scope of change is quite large. What is your opinion?

[SAMI] Yes, this sounds right. I think most tables would be tested when we run on any Sgi platform. If there is something that does not get tested, we should be able to catch any issues in the code review.

[SAMI] I think it would be better to print the reserved field values as individual byte values, e.g. "0 0 0 0 0 0 0" in the Dump7Reserved case.

[Rohit] Ack.
With this format, I’m assuming with bit lengths, we would round up to the next byte. Ie for 27 bits “0 0 0 0”.
[SAMI] These would be two different functions DumpReservedBytes() and DumpReservedBits(). I think initially we should print the bits as whole bytes.

[Rohit] Ack.
             Sidenote - With the old changes, we could have managed without ValidateReservedBits as ParseAcpiBitFields used a UINT64 to extract the field. The address of this field is casted and passed on to the validator.
             However, with length coming in as param, it makes sense to add a bit variant to make it clean.

Here is the snippet –

    // extract Bitfield data for the current item
    Data = RShiftU64 (BitsData, Parser[Index].Offset) & ~(LShiftU64 (~0ULL, Parser[Index].Length));
~
  // Validating only makes sense if we are tracing

The intermittent spacing after Reserved from the MPAM interrupt flag is what the comment talks about. The issue arises because of nesting (both ParseAcpiBitFields and ParseAcpi adds a newline back-to-back). This would happen even with ParseAcpi calling ParseAcpi internally in a nested context (as you have suggested for Locator parsing). One way to resolve this would be to have an additional parameter say, IsNested which should remain false for all default cases.

UINT32
EFIAPI
ParseAcpiBitFields (
  IN BOOLEAN            Trace,
  IN UINT32             Indent,
  IN CONST CHAR8        *AsciiName OPTIONAL,
  IN UINT8              *Ptr,
  IN UINT32             Length,
  IN CONST ACPI_PARSER  *Parser,
  IN UINT32             ParserItems,
  IN BOOLEAN         IsNested
  )

and then brace the newline print with the following check.

~~
  If (!(IsNested && Index == ParserItems - 1)) {
      Print (L"\n");
  }
~~

However, this change has a large scope of impact I believe as we would need to verify if the alignment of all the parsers. Could we take this as different task to not club this with MPAM if its, okay? If you have any alternate suggestions, let me know.
[SAMI] Yes, this can be done separately.

I think we did not get back to the feedback for the series at https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/80815, but can you check if it is possible to define a new flag to control line breaks.

[SAMI] As I understand the InterconnectOffset (and therefore the InterconnectDescriptorTable data) must reside between the end of the resource node List and the end of the MSC node, i.e. within the resource-specific data region.

See MPAM specification version 2.0, Table 18: Interconnect locator descriptor which states "This table must be located in the resource-specific data region of the parent MPAM MSC node. See Table 4."

I believe the layout of MPAM table should be as below:

[SAMI] I think it would be cleaner if you store the MscNodeStart and then use that to compute the InterconnectDescriptorTable data location.

i.e. InterconnectDescriptorTablePtr =  MscNodeStart + InterconnectOffset;
