[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Ensure SEV-SNP VMSA allocations are not 2MB aligned
Posted by Lendacky, Thomas via groups.io 1 year, 9 months ago
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4353

Due to an erratum, an SEV-SNP VMSA cannot be 2MB aligned. To work around
this issue, allocate two pages instead of one. Because of the way that
page allocation is implemented, always try to use the second page. If the
second page is not 2MB aligned, free the first page and use the second
page. If the second page is 2MB aligned, free the second page and use the
first page. Freeing in this way reduces holes in the memory map.

1. Can you use the existing macro ALIGN_POINTER() defined in Base.h?

See my reply to the cover letter where I say I want to replace the usage 
with Gerd's definitions/updates series (but wanted general feedback now on 
the series).

Thanks,
Tom

Having copies of this all over the tree is indeed a bad idea.

See https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/100695 which adds this
and a few more commonly used macros to Base.h.  Can we get that
reviewed and merged please?

thanks & take care,
  Gerd

That depends on review from other package maintainers.

  Hi,

A reference to the erratum (web link or erratum id) would be nice here.
Also swapping the order of the two patches might simplify the other
patch which happens to shuffle around the code this patch has just
added.

take care,
  Gerd
