[edk2-devel] [PATCH 0/3] MdeModulePkg: use pool allocations for ACPI tables
Posted by Ard Biesheuvel 3 years, 6 months ago 
Currently, the AcpiTableDxe memory allocator uses page based allocations,
for which the only reason seems to be that it permits the use of a memory
limit, which is necessary for ACPI 1.0 tables that need to reside in the
first 4 GB of memory.

That requirement does not exist on AArch64, and since page based allocations
are rounded up to 64 KB multiples, this wastes some memory in a way that
can easily be avoided. So let's use the existing 'mAcpiTableAllocType'
policy variable, and switch to pool allocations if it is set to
'AllocateAnyPages'

Example output from Linux booting on ArmVirtQemu:
