42 EDK_4310: Non-Compatible: qhuang8\r
43 Class_ModuleRemove[0]: Remove AtapiPassThru module from MdeModulePkg. AtapiPassThru\r
44 module is only used for testing. We already have a driver in OptionRomPkg to\r
45 produce ScsiPassThru and ExtScsiPassThru based on PCD setting. We can remove it\r
46 from MdeModulePkg.\r
47 \r
48 Code Change :\r
49 1) Remove module MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/AtapiPassThruDxe/AtapiPassThru.inf \r
50 \r
51 Impact to platform code:\r
52 If a platform happens to refer to this module in their dsc file, please use the\r
53 counterpart module in OptionRomPkg.\r
54 \r
55 ==========================================================================================\r
56 EDK_4067: Non-Compatible: qwang12\r
57 Class_PIEnable[6]: PEI core does not build FV HOB upon notification of a EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI automatically.\r
58 \r
59 Code Change :\r
60 1) MdeModulePkg/Core/Pei/FwVol/FwVol.c \r
61 \r
62 Impact to platform code:\r
63 1) If platform module want to inform both PEI core and DXE core about the existance of new FV \r
64 it must both install EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI and FV HOB. \r
65 \r
66 A example is given belows:\r
67 \r
68 PiLibInstallFvInfoPpi (\r
69 NULL,\r
70 Buffer,\r
71 (UINT32) FvHeader->FvLength,\r
72 NULL,\r
73 NULL\r
74 );\r
75 \r
76 BuildFvHob (\r
77 (EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS) (UINTN) Buffer,\r
78 (UINT32) FvHeader->FvLength\r
79 );\r
80 \r
81 PEI core does not automatically build FV HOB upon notification of a EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI. \r
82 The description in Item 2 in Section 4.8.1.2 in Vol 1 of PI spec will be updated to remove the \r
83 "Create a new firmware volume HOB" wording.\r
84 \r
85 \r
86 ==========================================================================================\r
87 EDK_4000-4006: Compatible: qhuang8\r
88 \r
89 Class_UefiEnable[0]: Uefi feature -Add component name 2 protocol support for\r

98 5) Update MdeModulePkg/Universal/DebugPortDxe/*\r
99 6) Update MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/*\r
100 7) Update MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/*\r
101 \r
102 possible impact:\r
103 1) To produce the component name 2 protocol, platform DSC file needs to set feature\r
104 flag 'PcdComponentName2Disable' to 'FALSE'\r
105 \r
106 ==========================================================================================\r
107 EDK_3967: Non-Compatible: lgao4\r
108 \r
109 Class_Library: Remove PeCoffLoader library class and its instances.\r
110 \r
111 Code Change :\r
112 1) Remove MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/PeCoffLoaderLib.h\r
113 2) Remove MdeModulePkg/Library/DxePeCoffLoaderFromHobLib and PeiDxePeCoffLoaderLib instance\r
114 3) Modify PeiCore, DxeIpl and DxeCore to use PeCoffLib in place of PeCoffLoaderLib.\r
115 \r
116 Possible Impacts:\r
117 1) All modules don't use PeCoffloader library class any longer to load PeImage. \r
118 If necessary, they should use PeCoffLib of MdePkg to load PeImage.\r
119 \r
120 ==========================================================================================\r
121 EDK_3931: Non-Compatible: klu2\r
122 \r
123 Class_PIEnable[5]: New library class for S3Resume and Recovery for DxeIpl PEIM.\r
124 \r
125 Code Change:\r
126 1) Add new library class \r
127 a) MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/S3Lib.h\r
128 b) MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/RecoveryLib.h\r
129 2) Add NULL library instances for MdeModulePkg:\r
130 a) MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiS3LibNull/PeiS3LibNull.inf.\r
131 b) MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiRecoveryLibNull/PeiRecoveryLibNull.inf\r
132 3) Add framework implement library instances:\r
133 a) IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/PeiS3Lib/PeiS3Lib.inf\r
134 b) IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/PeiRecovery/PeiRecovery.inf\r
135 \r
136 Possible Impacts:\r
137 1) In DSC file, real platform should select:\r
138 S3Lib library class -> IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/PeiS3Lib/PeiS3Lib.inf\r
139 RecoveryLib library class -> IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/PeiRecovery/PeiRecovery.inf\r
140 \r
141 Nt32 platform should select:\r
142 S3Lib library class -> MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiS3LibNull/PeiS3LibNull.inf.\r
143 RecoveryLib library class -> MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiRecoveryLibNull/PeiRecoveryLibNull.inf\r
144 \r
145 ==========================================================================================\r
146 EDK_3922: Non-Compatible: qwang12, klu2\r
147 Class_PIEnable[2]: Update PEI core to only consume EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI\r
148 \r
149 Code Change :\r
150 1) Update PEI core to consume EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI to get the location of new FVs other than BFV\r
151 reported by PEIMs . \r
152 \r
153 Possible Impacts:\r
154 1) Platform code that is going to inform PEI core about the new FVs other than BFV should install \r
155 EFI_PEI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_INFO_PPI. A library function named PeiPiLibBuildPiFvInfoPpi() defined in \r
156 MdePkg\Include\Library\PeiPiLib.h can be used to install the PPI. \r
157 There are two notes worth mentioning:\r
158 1) Platform PEIMs should report at least FVs containing DXE_CORE and all other PEIM to PEI Core if they\r
159 are not in the BFV. \r
160 2) PEI core will dispatch PEIMs in the FV reported by PeiPiLibBuildPiFvInfoPpi() and invoke BuildFvHob () to build the \r
161 FV HOB for this FV (see Section 4.8.1.2 of Vol 1 named Multiple Firmware Volume Support for details). \r
162 If PEIM only want to inform DXE core about the existance of the new FV, it should call BuildFvHob instead.\r
163 \r
164 \r
165 Class_PIEnable[3]: Update PEI core to support RegisterForShadow feature introduced by PI spec\r
166 \r
167 Code Change :\r
168 1) DXEIPL no longer produce EFI_PEI_FV_FILE_LOADER_PPI defined in Framework PEI CIS.\r
169 \r
170 Possible Impacts:\r
171 \r
172 1)All PEIMs that need to shadow itself into memory and rerun the entry point should be updated to call RegisterForShadow\r
173 (PeiServicesLibRegisterForShadow () is a helper function).\r
174 2)The depex of PEIMs that including EFI_PEI_FV_FILE_LOADER_PPI (or gEfiPeiFvFileLoaderPpiGuid) should be removed.\r
175 \r
176 \r
177 Class_PIEnable[4]: Update PEI core to produce other new features defined in PI spec\r
178 \r
179 Code Change :\r
180 1) Add the following services: FfsGetFileInfo, FfsFindFileByName and FfsGetVolumeInfo\r
181 \r
182 Possible Impacts:\r
183 \r
184 1) Platform code is recommended to make use of these new PI features. The functions in MdePkg/Include/Library/PeiServicesLib.h are \r
185 recommended as PeiServices is saved for every PEI Services API invokation.\r
186 \r
187 ==========================================================================================\r
188 EDK_3871: Non-Compatible: klu2\r
189 \r
190 Class_PIEnable[1]: Use new entry point for PeiCore defined in PI specification.\r
191 \r
192 Code Change:\r
193 1) PeiMain module use PeiCoreEntryPoint library class but *not* original OldPeiCoreEntryPoint.\r
194 2) The memory service in PeiMain module get temporary memory base and size from parameter of PeiCore's\r
195 Entry point directly but *not* computed from stack's base.\r
196 \r
197 Possible Impacts:\r
198 1) Platform should select MdePkg/Library/PeiCoreEntryPoint/PeiCoreEntryPoint.inf for \r
199 PeiMain module.\r
200 2) The SecCore module should provide parameters for new entry point defined in \r
201 MdePkg\Include\Library\PeiCoreEntryPoint.h\r
202 \r
203 ==========================================================================================\r
204 EDK_3866: Compatible: qhuang8\r
205 \r
206 Class_UefiEnable[0]: Uefi2.1 feature - Add Hardware Error Record Persistence Support \r
207 Code Change :\r
208 1) Modify MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe\r
209 2) Modify MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/EmuRuntimeDxe\r
210 \r
211 ==========================================================================================\r
212 EDK_3773: Non-Compatible: qwang12\r
213 \r
214 Class_PIEnable[0]: Enable DXE Core to produce EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL only.\r
215 \r
216 Code Change :\r
217 1) Modify MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe/DxeMain.inf module to produce only\r
218 EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL. Previously, EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_PROTOCOL\r
219 is produced by Dxe Core.\r
220 \r
221 Possible Impacts:\r
222 1) All modules that references EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_PROTOCOL must be updated to use\r
223 EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL.\r
224 2) All modules that references gEfiFirmwareVolumeProtocolGuid must be updated to\r
225 use gEfiFirmwareVolume2ProtocolGuid.\r
226 3) The gEfiFirmwareVolumeProtocolGuid in [Depex] section of INF file should updated.\r
227 And the package dependency should also be changed if needed due to this protocol\r
228 GUID change.\r
