Jiewen:

 Your understanding is correct. By design, BASE type is for all usages. Non
UEFI/PI implementation can also consume them. But, Edk2 main usage is for
UEFI/PI implementation. So, the developer may not be aware this type. I
agree more detail rules are required to guide the developer on how to
develop BASE type module. 

 

 For this patch, I think your solution is OK with more supported module
types instead of change library type.

 

Thanks

Liming

Ö÷Ìâ: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/Library: change
TpmMeasurementLibNull to BASE library.

 

My understanding is that if it is something NOT related to EFI, then we use
RETURN_XXX. The best example is the BaseLib ¨C StrCpyS, PciLib

If we know it is related to EFI, then we use EFI_XXX. E.g. the
DxeServiceLib, UefiLib

 

However, there are some gray area. For example:

-- UnitTestLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- CapsuleLib uses EFI_xxx. 

-- CpuExceptionLibHandlerLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- IpmiLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- MemoryProfileLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- OemHookStatusCodeLib uses EFI_xxx. 

-- SecurityManagementLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- HashLib uses EFI_xxx

-- RpmcLib uses EFI_xxx

-- TcgEventLogRecordLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- Tpm12CommandLib uses EFI_xxx. 

-- Tpm12DeviceLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- Tpm2CommandLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- Tpm2DeviceLib uses EFI_xxx.

-- VariableKeyLib uses EFI_xxx.

I am not sure if those are correct or not. I feel the reason is that the
working instance should be PEI or DXE.

Things are getting complicated, when we add more Dummy/Null instance. It
brings confusing.

 

Mike can clarify more on that.

 

Bret, I think you raised a good question.

Probably, we should define the rule at first. 

Then do the cleanup for all instances based upon the rule (not only
TpmMeasurementLib)

 

Thank you

Yao Jiewen

Question (since it¡¯s been brought up): when *wouldn¡¯t* you use EFI_*?
They¡¯re clearly superior in every way. I mean, they¡¯ve got EFI right in
the name.

Good feedback.

[Jiewen] But I don¡¯t think it is absolutely necessary to change EFI_xxx to
RETURN_xxx in library class, just because a library instance could be PEI
and DXE.

EFI_xxx is legal for both PEI and DXE.

That means, another way to fix the issue is to *add* PEIM and SEC to the
LIBRARY_CLASS, instead of *remove* them.

Thank you
