[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: honor the platform's boot CPU count in AP detection

- If a platform boots such that the boot CPU count is smaller than
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber, then the platform cannot use the "fast
AP detection" logic added in commit 6e1987f19af7. (Which has been
documented as a subset of use case (2) in the previous patch.)
Said logic depends on the boot CPU count being equal to
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber. If the equality does not hold, the
platform either has to wait too long, or risk missing APs due to an
early timeout.
- The platform may not be able to use the variant added in commit
0594ec417c89 either. (Which has been documented as use case (1) in the
previous patch.)
See commit 861218740d6d. When OVMF runs on QEMU/KVM, APs may check in
with the BSP in arbitrary order, plus the individual AP may take
arbitrarily long to check-in. If "NumApsExecuting" falls to zero
mid-enumeration, APs will be missed.
Allow platforms to specify the exact boot CPU count, independently of
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber. In this mode, the BSP waits for all APs
to check-in regardless of timeout. If at least one AP fails to check-in,
then the AP enumeration hangs forever. That is the desired behavior when
the exact boot CPU count is known in advance. (A hung boot is better than
an AP checking-in after timeout, and executing code from released
storage.)
