2022-08-08PrmPkg: Add details on AArch64 build to the Readme.Jose Marinho1-0/+11
Specify how to build the PrmPkg for the AArch64 architecture. Make the 2 following notes: - the PrmPkg has only been tested on AArch64 using the GCC5 toolchain. - All symbols to be listed in the PRMT as well as the PrmModuleExportDescriptor must be explicitly preserved by resorting to the --require-defined linker flag.

2022-04-05Readme.md: Add iASL note and QEMU sample linkMichael Kubacki1-0/+23
Adds a note that the build now depends on an ASL compiler supporting PlatformRtMechanism by default. The minimum iASL version supported is noted in addition to an alternative to remove the code that requires the new OperationRegion. Also, a link is provided to an example of how to integrate the package into a platform using QEMU/OvmfPkg as the sample platform and firmware.

2022-04-05PrmPkg: Add PlatformGuidMichael Kubacki1-0/+12
Adds a "platform GUID" field to the PRM ACPI table. This field is used by a platform to uniquely identify itself such that it can be targeted by runtime PRM module updates for that platform. Platforms using PRM are currently required to set a unique value for gPrmPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPrmPlatformGuid in their platform DSC.

2022-04-05PrmPkg/Application/PrmInfo: Add initial applicationMichael Kubacki1-0/+19
Adds a new UEFI application called "PrmInfo" that allows a user to display and test Platform Runtime Mechanism (PRM) modules. Execute the application help command for detailed usage instructions and examples of how to use the application: "PrmInfo -?" This application is intended to be helpful during PRM enabling by allowing the user to: 1. Confirm that their firmware port of the PRM infrastructure implemented in this package is functioning correctly. 2. Quickly get information about what PRM modules and handlers are present on a given system. 3. Quickly test PRM handlers without booting to a fully featured operating system. 4. Develop and exercise PRM handlers prior to the availability of an operating system that is PRM aware. Adds a brief section to Readme.md about the PrmInfo UEFI application with a link to allow the reader to find more information about the application if interested.

2022-04-05PrmPkg: Remove PRM Module Update LockMichael Kubacki1-19/+18
Per latest design direction, we've abandoned treating the PRM Module Update Lock as an exported object. There was concern sharing the PRM module address space (where the lock structure resided in a data section) with the OS kernel mode driver. The lock will now be entirely maintained in OS context with interaces to control the lock available to ASL (for _DSM invocation) and OS native code (for direct call).

2022-04-05PrmPkg: Add ALLOCATE_CONTEXT_BUFFER_IN_FW build optionMichael Kubacki1-0/+12
There's currently two approaches being considered for how to allocate the context buffer passed to PRM handlers: 1. The context buffer is allocated and populated in firmware. As such, the FW converts all pointers internal to the buffer to virtual memory addresses at the virtual address change event. A single context buffer pointer is given to the OS via the PRM ACPI table and the OS converts this single physical address to a virtual address when it passes the context buffer as a pointer to PRM handlers. 2. The context buffer is allocated and populated in the OS. The OS gets all the information needed to populate the context buffer from other pre-existing resources (mainly physical addresses in the PRM ACPI table). The OS converts all the physical addresses to virtual addresses, allocates the context buffer instances, and fills in the information. The OS passes the context buffer virtual address to PRM handlers. The prior behavior was (1). The current POR behavior has moved to (2). Until (2) is used more widely, it can be kept around with fairly minimal overhead via a build flag in a few places. So the default behavior is now (2) (the expected permanent behavior) with (1) easily enabled by defining "ALLOCATE_CONTEXT_BUFFER_IN_FW" in the compiler defined macros. A DSC define was added in PrmPkg.dsc to set this compiler macro in the package build. At some point in the future, all code (and some peripheral code) surrounded with this build flag can be removed if (2) is fully decided upon.

2022-04-05Readme.md: Add initial contentMichael Kubacki1-0/+212
REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3812 Adds the following content to Readme.md: 1. A basic explanation of how the package is organized and where to find important items. 2. Adds instructions for building PrmPkg with edk2. 3. Adds a "Build Flags" section to the build instructions to explain any build flags that may be passed to influence the build. The final package will not have any build flags. A reasonable number are temporarily used to test different flows until final decisions are made as to which flow to keep. Most notably, only Visual Studio tool chains are currently supported due to the modifications made to support export tables.
