Hello Dandan & Liming,

May I know the reason for 'PERF_START_EX' & 'PERF_END_EX' macros are not
being replaced in commit:

Revision: 67e9ab84ef042bd59c4297fdad7f6aece6b7bbca
MdeModulePkg: Use new added Perf macros

Is there a special reason for this?
('OptionNumber' as the identifier?)

Hello Zhichao,

May I know what kind of test has been done for this patch?
Also, some inline comments below:

I think the patch missed to replace the below 'PERF_END_EX' macro:

  //
  if ((DevicePathType (BootOption->FilePath) == BBS_DEVICE_PATH) && (DevicePathSubType (BootOption->FilePath) == BBS_BBS_DP)) {
    ...

    PERF_END_EX (gImageHandle, "BdsAttempt", NULL, 0, (UINT32) OptionNumber);
    ^^^^^^^^^^^
    return;
  }


> +  PERF_CROSSMODULE_END ("BDS");
> +  PERF_CROSSMODULE_BEGIN ("BDS");


Could you help to introduce the purpose for the above
'PERF_CROSSMODULE_BEGIN' in more detail?

The patch excludes the time consumed by StartImage() from performance data
for the "BdsAttempt" token.

If the image starts successfully, there will not be an matching PERF_END
macro for the origin code.

Ray, do you think it is a reasonable change here?

Hao Wu
