[edk2-devel] [edk2-platforms][PATCH v1 1/1] IntelSiliconPkg: Add BaseSmmAccessLibNull

Tue Aug 10 15:28:47 UTC 2021

There is not a SmmAccess PEIM in IntelSiliconPkg.

There is a SmmAccessDxe driver:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Silicon/Intel/IntelSiliconPkg/Feature/SmmAccess/SmmAccessDxe/SmmAccess.inf

And there is a PeiSmmAccessLib:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Silicon/Intel/IntelSiliconPkg/Feature/SmmAccess

As long as this is a library class, the NULL library instance is 
necessary for the same reason many NULL instances are necessary.

Scenario #1:

If a user has a library that depends on SmmAccessLib and that library is 
linked to two different modules, the user may wish to actually call the 
install function from one module and not link the functionality (or 
inherit the non-NULL SmmAccessLib dependencies) in the other module.

Scenario #2:

Someone is trying to build common code. That common code has a PEIM. 
That PEIM links SmmAccessLib. A downstream package leveraging that PEIM 
does not use the functionality in the PEIM that invokes SmmAccessLib. 
Therefore, the package would like to reduce the overall PEIM 
dependencies by linking a NULL library instance.

---

This is the result of an invoke-once interface being exposed as a 
generic library class.

---

This patch is not trying to modify interfaces such as converting the 
library class to a driver or anything more involved/impactful. It is 
simply making the design already in place have an alternative, optional 
instance available for platform integration.

Thanks
Michael
