I agree that this change will make the StatusCodeHandler driver more modular, and is a step in the right direction.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>But I think it could go further, with almost no additional work, and simplify the overall Status Code mechanism, not just the StatusCodeHandler driver. Currently, the StatusCodeHandler driver entry routines run some initialization code, register callbacks (eg. for ExitBootServices and SetVirtualAddressMap), and call the RscHandler PPI/Protocol to register the worker routines. If I'm understanding the proposal correctly, all that code will be moved to the individual NULL libraries, since any particular library may or may not need any of it. Then the StatusCodeHandler modules will be left with no code of their own at all: they will only be wrappers for the NULL libraries. Their entry routines will do nothing except return EFI_SUCCESS! (1)<br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div>It seems strange and wasteful to keep around empty modules like this. So I'm suggesting adding the NULL libraries to the StatusCodeRouter modules instead. They would need to export the protocol/PPI routines to the NULL libraries via a header file, so they could call them directly instead of looking up the protocol/PPI. But that's a minor change. Then you could remove the empty StatusCodeHandler modules entirely. The advantage would be that there would be fewer modules in the build, simplifying the .dsc and .fdf files slightly. It would also reduce code size a bit by sharing common library routines, such as BaseLib, with the StatusCodeRouter modules.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>If those don't seem like worthwhile advantages, that's OK with me. I don't want to belabor the point, or impede progress. If others are OK with the proposal as it stands, then I am too.<br> </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Thanks,<br> </div> <div> <div class="moz-signature"> <p class="3DMsoNormal"><b><span style="3D'font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'">Brian J.

The ReportStatusCodeRouter module implements this in terms of the ReportStatusCodeHandler Protocol/PPI. That allows multiple ReportStatusCodeHandler modules to be used at once, so they can each react to different types of status codes, or report them through multiple channels. That sort of multiplexing seems like a useful feature.<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Now we're considering adding a mechanism which allows registering status code handlers via NULL libraries, rather than via the protocol/PPI. That sounds like exactly what ReportStatusCodeRouter is intended for. It wouldn't really change its scope, it would just make it more flexible. Adding this feature via a StatusCodeHandler module wouldn't improve modularity, it would just add complexity. As an OEM, adding a custom handler would look the same to me either way: I would have to add the NULL class library to a MdeModulePkg driver's entry in my .dsc file. It doesn't matter to me whether it's the ReportStatusCodeRouter or StatusCodeHandler module. And if I can do it in ReportStatusCodeRouter, then I don't need to include any StatusCodeHandler modules in the build at all. That saves code space and reduces the number of modules in the APRIORI list, which are both good things.<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">ReportStatusCodeRouterPei already has to track registered handlers in PEI when running from ROM (it uses a HOB.)

The issue I see is the ReportStatusCodeRouter publishes RscHandlerPpi after the PEIMs constructor has been called and if the PEIM. Given globals don’t work when running from ROM you would have to do something like publish a HOB in the library constructor and then have the GenericStatusCodePeiEntry() walk the HOBs and install the handlers. So I guess it is a little easier than I 1st thought when I started writing this mail, but it would require a new public API. <o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal">Andrew Fish<br> <br> <br> <o:p></o:p></p> <blockquote style="border:none !important; margin-left:0px !important; margin-right:0px !important; margin-top:0px !important; padding-left:0px !important; padding-right:0px !important"> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-variant-caps: normal;text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px"> <span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Thanks,</span><o:p></o:p></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">--<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="3dmsonormal"><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Brian J.
