[edk2-devel] Use a pcd to control PlatformRecovery

Hi Zhichao and Ray, 

I have some questions about this code change. Sorry for being late to bring my questions here.

For now, the code block for iterating the PlatformRecovery#### variables is controlled by OsIndications variable. However, it looks to me like that the PlatformRecovery#### should still be attempted for the case of that processing of BootOrder does NOT result in success (according to section 3.4 in UEFI 2.8). In other words, I think we should check PCD "PcdPlatformRecoverySupport" instead of Local variable "PlatformRecovery" (from OsIndications variable) like the code below. What do you guys think? If you need a meeting or short talk to discuss this, feel free to let me know. 

  if (!BootSuccess) {
-   if (PlatformRecovery) {
+  if (PcdGetBool (PcdPlatformRecoverySupport)) {
      LoadOptions = EfiBootManagerGetLoadOptions (&LoadOptionCount, LoadOptionTypePlatformRecovery);
      ProcessLoadOptions (LoadOptions, LoadOptionCount);
      EfiBootManagerFreeLoadOptions (LoadOptions, LoadOptionCount);
    } else {
      //
      // When platform recovery is not enabled, still boot to platform default file path.
      //
      EfiBootManagerProcessLoadOption (&PlatformDefaultBootOption);
    }
 

In addition, it looks like EDK2 don't have code to process OsRecovery#### variables. Do we need to create a Bug on TianoCore Bugzilla system? 

Moreover, I saw that both of you had a discussion about "Default PlatformRecovery", but I can't figure out the connection between the discussion and the final code change. Isn't the "Default PlatformRecovery" part of the Platform Recovery feature? At this moment, we don't have OS recovery support, so I think that NO platform recovery support can be identified as NO boot option recovery support. For this case, shouldn't we use PCD "PcdPlatformRecoverySupport" to control "Default PlatformRecovery" as well? For the next step, I think we need to get further clarification from USWG to either not tie "Default Boot Behavior" with PlatformRecovery or update the description to the following: 
    - If system firmware supports Platform recovery as described in Section 3.4.2, system firmware must include a PlatformRecovery#### variable specifying a short-form File Path Media Device Path....

Regards,
Sunny Wang

Subject: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v5 2/2] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Use a pcd to control PlatformRecovery

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678 

Use the PcdPlatformRecoverySupport to control the function of platform recovery in BDS.
First, set the variable's ("OsIndicationsSupported") EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_START_PLATFORM_RECOVERY bit base on the pcd.
It would affect the variable "OsIndications".
While the platform does not support the platform recovery, it is inappropriate to set a PlatformRecovery#### variable. So skip setting the variable. But it should remain the behavior of booting from a default file path (such as \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI) to be compatible with the previous version UEFI spec.

Add memory check before build platform default boot option. If fail to allocate memory for the defualt boot file path, put the system into dead loop to indicate it is unable to boot.
