This fixes the bug in OVMF's Qemu ACPI table linker which caused it to
fail when multiple fields point to the same table. Previously, each
pointer caused the pointed-to table to be installed via the
EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL. However, each table must only be installed once
via this mechanism.
The patch fixes this (as previously suggested by Laszlo) via memoisation
of the pointers. If it encounters the same pointer twice, it will no
longer try to re-install it. I hope I got the implementation details
right. I've tested it successfully with Windows 10, a recent Ubuntu
version, and OS X as guest OSes. (further OVMF patches required for
booting the latter)
I found this bug while trying to patch Qemu to generate a Rev3 FADT (as
per ACPI 2.0) instead of a Rev1 FADT (ACPI 1.0). Said patch has missed
the Qemu 2.9 merge window, but has been provisionally accepted for 2.10
(save for some minor tweaks) and will break the ACPI table linker
on unpatched OVMF. (When this bug is triggered, OVMF reverts to its
built-in ACPI tables, ignoring those provided by Qemu.)

ACPI tables may contain multiple pointer fields to the same destination
table. For example, in some revisions, the FADT contains both DSDT and
X_DSDT fields, and they may both point to the DSDT. Indeed, some operating
systems demand this to be the case.
Previously, if Qemu created "add pointer" linker commands for both fields,
the linking process would fail, as AcpiProtocol->InstallAcpiTable() may
only be called once for each destination table and otherwise returns an
error.
This change adds a memoisation data structure which tracks the table
pointers that have already been installed; even if the same pointer is
encountered multiple times, it is only installed once.

This is a very good first patch!
I have a few requests. I'll generally rehash the points from
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368#c0>.

(1) Please be a bit more precise here: passing the exact same table
twice to InstallAcpiTable() is wrong, but for two different reasons.
Reason #1 is what you named -- some, but not all, ACPI table types are
not allowed to have multiple instances, and that aborts the linking
process. Reason #2 is that successfully installing the exact same table,
of a type that does allow multiple instances (such as an SSDT, there
could be others) is just as wrong, although it doesn't abort the linking.

Also, I slightly dislike an "else" after a "return", but I guess it's up
to you. :)

(4) Please rename "InstalledTables" to "SeenPointers", and update its
comment block accordingly:
"The ORDERED_COLLECTION tracking the absolute target addresses that have
been pointed-to by QEMU_LOADER_ADD_POINTER commands thus far. If a
target address is encountered for the first time, and it identifies an
ACPI table that is different from RDST and DSDT, the table is installed.
If a target address is seen for the second or later times, it is skipped
without taking any action."
(5) An added benefit of using the name "SeenPointers" is that it is
exactly as long as "NumInstalled", and you won't have to reindent the
other comment blocks.
(6) Please also update the @retval EFI_SUCCESS comment:
"AddPointer has been processed. Either its absolute target address has
been encountered before, or an ACPI table different from RSDT and XSDT
has been installed (reflected by InstalledKey and NumInstalled), or RSDT
or XSDT has been identified but not installed, or the fw_cfg blob
pointed-into by AddPointer has been marked as hosting something else
than just direct ACPI table contents."

(7) For function calls (and function-like macro invocations) that don't
fit on a single line, we should now follow the style described in
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425>.
(8) The main point of renaming InstalledTables to SeenPointers:
please move this logic higher up in the function,
ASSERT (PointerValue < Blob2Remaining);
<------- right here
Blob2Remaining -= (UINTN) PointerValue;
The reason why is explained in
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368#c0>, in the part
that starts with "This is justified because all actions after that point
would be..."
(9) Near the two late error exits in the function (when we run out of
INSTALLED_TABLES_MAX, or InstallAcpiTable() fails), please replace the
direct returns with a goto to an error handling label. This error
handling label should remove the just added PointerValue from SeenPointers.
For this, you can use the second parameter of OrderedCollectionInsert().
On success, that parameter is set to the node of the newly inserted
item, and then you can pass that to OrderedCollectionDelete() directly
on the error path.

(11) Please implement this loop instead like the one that tears down
"Tracker". Using an assignment in the controlling expression of the
"while" is powerful and I like it too, but it is never used in edk2
code, to my knowledge.

Yes, this looks correct too.
(I apologize if I made any confusing requests in my review, I'm very tired.)

Thanks - I know you've explained this distinction a bunch of times
now, but it's finally clicked with me.

I've now moved it as requested for patch v2, but my reasoning for the
original ordering of the logic was precisely to avoid the complication
of having to roll back in the error case. It seemed a valid code
transformation as the other early-out paths also return EFI_SUCCESS,
the RSDT/XSDT one has no side effects, and the opaque blob one's side
effect is surely idempotent.

There's a third option, which is to also use a for loop, but avoids
the second running entry variable by calling OrderedCollectionMin()
(or Max) on each iteration. This might even be slightly more efficient
than OrderedCollectionNext(), but only by a constant factor, so I've
gone with the same teardown as for Tracker for the sake of
consistency.

Yes, that's a valid argument, but I prefer the proposed (and,
thankfully, v2 :) ) approach for two reasons:
- I would like to benefit from the memoization also in order to save on
the idempotent (but still superfluous) code paths,
- I prefer a clean rollback-on-error because it is more future proof. If
we omit it now, later extensions might forget about it completely, which
at that point might not be so innocent any longer.
