I agree with you that the present situation is not correct.

According to:

  https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-dsc-specification/2_dsc_overview/26_[libraryclasses]_section_processing.html

the library class resolutions take effect in the following order
(entries near the top have higher priority):

> 1. <LibraryClasses> associated with the INF file in the [Components] section
> 2. [LibraryClasses.$(Arch).$(MODULE_TYPE), LibraryClasses.$(Arch).$(MODULE_TYPE)]
> 3. [LibraryClasses.$(Arch).$(MODULE_TYPE)]
> 4. [LibraryClasses.common.$(MODULE_TYPE)]
> 5. [LibraryClasses.$(Arch)]
> 6. [LibraryClasses.common] or [LibraryClasses]

(Side comment 1: levels #2 and #3 look very similar; I think the
difference is that #2 is supposed to be a multi-arch and/or
multi-module-type section, while #3 is a single-arch and
single-module-type section.)

Commit 4a1f6b85c184 ("MdeModulePkg: add LockBoxNullLib for !IA32/X64 in
.dsc", 2019-03-27) provided a LockBoxLib resolution at level #5:

> [LibraryClasses.ARM, LibraryClasses.AARCH64]

However, the other LockBoxLib resolutions are at level #4:

> [LibraryClasses.common.PEIM]
> [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_DRIVER]
> [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]
> [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_SMM_DRIVER]
> [LibraryClasses.common.UEFI_DRIVER]

So the latter taking priority is actually specified behavior.

(Side comment 2: EBC is in the same boat, from commit cbcccd2c9d93
("Update Code to pass EBC compiler", 2013-05-13):

> [LibraryClasses.EBC]
>   LockBoxLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/LockBoxNullLib/LockBoxNullLib.inf
)

As to why this breakage was not exposed right at commit 4a1f6b85c184 --
I have no idea. Perhaps it was hidden by a BaseTools issue that has been
fixed meanwhile.

I agree the problem should be fixed in 2019.08 -- taking your word that
commit 4a1f6b85c184 *appeared* to fix the MdeModulePkg.dsc build for
ARM/AARCH64, we now have a regression since that commit (dated
2019-03-27).

I think this is good enough. The lib class resolutions are raised to
level #2, but they will no longer match ARM / AARCH64, so your level#5
addition from commit 4a1f6b85c184 will take effect.

(1) I suggest replacing "," with ", ". (That's more consistent with
preexistent section headers in the DSC file.) Applies to the other new
section headers too.

I wonder if this is really necessary. I would assume all the
DXE_SMM_DRIVER modules are listed under

  [Components.IA32, Components.X64]

already. But, this hunk certainly doesn't hurt.

With (1) fixed (feel free to correct that just before pushing):

Do wait for maintainer review, of course.

Thanks,
