Borrow the space below 1MB for AP reset vector

[edk2] [PATCH 0/2] Borrow the space below 1MB for AP reset vector

Posted by Jeff Fan 7 years, 6 months ago

Current, CpuMpPei will find the available memory space below 1MB for AP reset
vector. And CpuMpPei will build resource HOB on this range to prevent other
PEI modules to use this range.

However, on some FSP usage model, this range maybe used by the code out of FSP.
CpuMpPei may change the original memory contents and cause other code crash.

We could update CpuMpPei not to change the original contents of this range
around AP waking up. Thus, it will not impact the other code on FSP usage model.

This updating is tiny and less impact on performance.
