[v1] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Fix possible uninitialized 'InitFlag' field

[edk2-devel] [PATCH v1] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Fix possible uninitialized 'InitFlag' field

Posted by Wu, Hao A 6 years ago

REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2474

Previous commit d786a17232:
UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Reduce the size when loading microcode patches

Removed the below assignments for the 'InitFlag' field of CPU_MP_DATA
structure in function MpInitLibInitialize() when APs are waken up to do
some initialize sync:

CpuMpData->InitFlag  = ApInitReconfig;
...
CpuMpData->InitFlag = ApInitDone;

Under some cases (e.g. when variable OldCpuMpData is not NULL, which means
function CollectProcessorCount() will not be called), this will left the
'InitFlag' field being uninitialized with a value of 0, which is a invalid
value for the type of 'InitFlag' (AP_INIT_STATE).

It may potentially cause the WakeUpAP() function to run some unnecessary
codes when the APs have been successfully waken up before:

  if (CpuMpData->WakeUpByInitSipiSipi ||
      CpuMpData->InitFlag   != ApInitDone) {
    ResetVectorRequired = TRUE;
    AllocateResetVector (CpuMpData);
    FillExchangeInfoData (CpuMpData);
    SaveLocalApicTimerSetting (CpuMpData);
  }

This commit will address the above-mentioned issue.

Test done:
* OS boot on a real platform with multi processors

It looks reasonable to me, but I was away while patch

"UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Reduce the size when loading microcode patches"

was being reviewed, so I can't really say.

Can you explain (in the commit message) *why* commit d786a17232 removed
these InitFlag assignments? I've now read the commit message on
d786a17232, and it's not obvious to me.


Also, it would be nice to reinstate the following comment:

//
// Wait for all APs finish initialization
//

just before the "while" statement.

Thanks
Laszlo

Sure.
I will update the commit message to add the information for such removal.

Yes, I will add back this comment in the next version of patch.
