[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Restore IDT context for APs.

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2683

This patch used to fix a ASSERT because AP can't find the CpuMpData.

When AP been waked up through Init-Sipi-Sipi, the IDT should
been restore to preallcated buffer to make it can get the
CpuMpData through IDT base address.
Not when CpuMpData->InitFlag is ApInitReconfig or ApInitConfig,
AP will be wake up through Init-Sipi-Sipi. Current code already
has logic to handle ApInitConfig, but miss the handler for
ApInitReconfig. This patch fixes this gap.

2. When AP is waken up through Init-Sipi-Sipi, AP's IDT should
be restored to pre-allocated buffer so AP can get the CpuMpData
through the IDT base address.
Current code already has logic to handle this when CpuMpData->
InitFlag is ApInitConfig but misses the logic 
when CpuMpData->InitFlag is ApInitReconfig.
This patch fixes this gap.

3.
Initialize AP volatile registers in ApInitReconfig path.
ApInitReconfig happens when:
1. AP is re-enabled after it's disabled, in either PEI or DXE phase.
2. AP is initialized in DXE phase.

4. Is it possible to combine this function call with the restoration code below?

      if (CpuMpData->InitFlag == ApInitReconfig) {
        //
        // ApInitReconfig happens when:
        // 1. AP is re-enabled after it's disabled, in either PEI or DXE phase.
        // 2. AP is initialized in DXE phase. 
        // In either case, use the volatile registers value derived from BSP.
        // NOTE: IDTR.BASE stored in CpuMpData->CpuData[0].VolatileRegisters points to a
        //   different IDT shared by all APs.
        //
        RestoreVolatileRegisters (&CpuMpData->CpuData[0].VolatileRegisters, FALSE);
      }  else {
        if (CpuMpData->ApLoopMode == ApInHltLoop) {
          //
          // Restore AP's volatile registers saved before AP is halted
          //
          RestoreVolatileRegisters (&CpuMpData->CpuData[ProcessorNumber].VolatileRegisters, TRUE);
        } else {
          //
          // The CPU driver might not flush TLB for APs on spot after updating
          // page attributes. AP in mwait loop mode needs to take care of it when
          // woken up.
          //
          CpuFlushTlb ();
        }

New logic changes code flow when CpuMpData->InitFlag == ApInitReconfig. In original flow, the code does RestoreVolatileRegisters and CpuFlushTlb, but new code only does CpuFlushTlb.
Is CpuFlushTlb not needs if wake up through Init-Sipi-Sipi?  I prefer to not change this code flow.

In ApInitReconfig path, CPU is waken up from INIT-SIPI-SIPI, which means the
CR3 is set in waking up vector. CpuFlushTlb() is used here to invalidate the page
table cache, which is similar to setting CR3.
