> 
> CcProbeLib once was designed to probe the Confidential Computing guest
> type by checking the PcdOvmfWorkArea. But this memory is allocated with
> either EfiACPIMemoryNVS or EfiBootServicesData. It cannot be accessed
> after ExitBootService. Please see the detailed analysis in BZ#3974.
> 
> To fix this issue, CcProbeLib is re-designed as 2 implementation:
>  - SecPeiCcProbeLib
>  - DxeCcProbeLib
> 
> In SecPeiCcProbeLib we check the CC guest type by reading the
> PcdOvmfWorkArea. Because it is used in SEC / PEI and we don't worry
> about
> the issues in BZ#3974.
> 
> In DxeCcProbeLib we cache the GuestType in Ovmf work area in a global
> variable. After that the Guest type is returned with the cached value.
> So that we don't need to worry about the access to Ovmf work area after
> ExitBootService.
> 
> The reason why we probe CC guest type in 2 different ways is the global
> variable. Global variable cannot be used in SEC/PEI and CcProbe is called
> very frequently.
> 
> Code: https://github.com/mxu9/edk2/tree/CcProbeLib.BZ3974.v4
> 
> v5 changes:
>  - Fix typos in commit message.
>  - No other changes in code.
> 
> v4 changes:
>  - Read Cc guest type in both DxeCcProbeLib's constructor and CcProbe. So
>    that we guarantee the Cc guest type is read early enough.
> 
> v3 changes:
>  - Re-design CcProbeLib to 2 implementation: SecPeiCcProbeLib and
>    DxeCcProbeLib. The difference between the 2 implementation is the
>    cache of the CcGuestType.
> 
> v2 changes:
>  - Reserve Ovmf work-area as RT_DATA. See
>    https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/92599
