[edk2-devel] [PATCH v8 9/9] OvmfPkg: Uses SmmSmramSaveStateLib library

[Attar, AbdulLateef (Abdul Lateef) via groups.io]

[AMD Official Use Only - General]

Hi Ray,
        You mean directly call the SmramSaveStateReadRegister instead of below code from edk2/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm.c ?

  Status = SmmCpuFeaturesReadSaveStateRegister (CpuIndex, Register, Width, Buffer);
  if (Status == EFI_UNSUPPORTED) {
    Status = SmramSaveStateReadRegister (CpuIndex, Register, Width, Buffer);
  }

Thanks
AbduL

Gerd,
I am asking Abdul to directly call SaveStateLib from CpuSmm driver.
I don't think SmmCpuFeaturesLib should be in the middle of CpuSmm driver and SaveStateLib regarding the save state access.

Thanks,
Ray
