MdeModulePkg PiSmmCore: Remove a hidden assumption of SMRAM reservation
that assumes the SMRAM reserved range is only at the end of the SMRAM descriptor.
//
// This range has reserved area, calculate the left free size
//
gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges[Index].PhysicalSize = SmramResRegion->SmramReservedStart - gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges[Index].CpuStart;
Imagine the following scenario where we just reserve the first page of the SMRAM range:
SMRAM Descriptor:
Start: 0x80000000
Size: 0x02000000
Reserved Range:
Start: 0x80000000
Size: 0x00001000
In this case the adjustment to the SMRAM range size yields zero: ReservedStart - SMRAM Start is 0x80000000 - 0x80000000 = 0.
So even though most of the range is still free the IPL code decides its unusable.
The problem comes from the email thread: [edk2] PiSmmIpl SMRAM Reservation Logic.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/15268
Also to follow the idea in the email thread, the patch is to
1. Keep only one copy of full SMRAM ranges in gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges,
split record for SmmConfiguration->SmramReservedRegions and SMM Core that
will be marked to be EFI_ALLOCATED in gSmmCorePrivate->SmramRanges.
2. Handle SmmConfiguration->SmramReservedRegions at beginning of, at end of,
in the middle of, or cross multiple SmramRanges.
