No, it's not.

SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit() is an interface in the
"UefiCpuPkg/Include/Library/SmmCpuFeaturesLib.h" class. Each platform is
supposed to create its own instance of this library class. For example,
OVMF's instance is at:

  OvmfPkg/Library/SmmCpuFeaturesLib

You can modify the SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit() function
implementation in that library instance.

I don't think you can easily modify the function *declaration* though,
as that would break a whole lot of platforms that exist outside of edk2.

Additionally, I don't think you can modify EFI_MM_SYSTEM_TABLE. That's a
structure defined in the Platform Init specification. You'd first need
to standardize (via the Platform Init Working Group of the UEFI Forum)
the proposed change, and a compatible way to upgrade would have to be
found. An alternative would be the "code first" procedure, which exists
so that code can be contributed ahead of changing the published
standards. But I'm unsure (I don't remember) how that procedure works in
practice.

Either way, I would advise against this approach. We should limit
ourselves to modifying only the contents of
SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit() in OvmfPkg/Library/SmmCpuFeaturesLib.

You should basically migrate the contents of CpuUnplugExitWork() (in
patch#8) into SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit(), without changing the
prototype of SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit(). This might require you to
calculate "IsBSP" on the spot, possibly with the help of some global
data that you set up in advance.

*However*, regarding "IsBSP" itself -- on the QEMU platform, the BSP is
neither unpluggable, nor switchable with any one of the APs. A removal
for the BSP will never be attempted, so it's fine to add much simpler
code that recognizes such an attempt (as a sanity check), and hangs hard
on it. If that would lead to grave complications, then don't bother with
it; just assume (or enforce elsewhere) that the BSP is never being
unplugged.

Please see the apic_designate_bsp() call sites in the QEMU source code
-- there is exactly one of them, in "target/i386/cpu.c":

    /* We hard-wire the BSP to the first CPU. */
    apic_designate_bsp(cpu->apic_state, s->cpu_index == 0);


By adding the business logic to SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit() instead
of CpuUnplugExitWork, said logic will actually be included in the
PiSmmCpuDxeSmm binary -- but that's fine. That's why the
SmmCpuFeaturesRendezvousExit() API exists, as a platform customization
hook for PiSmmCpuDxeSmm.


A formal comment in closing -- modifying two packages in the same patch,
such as OvmfPkg and UefiCpuPkg, is almost always forbidden. It is
permitted exceptionally, when there is absolutely no way to solve an
issue with a gradual approach (i.e., by modifying the packages in
question with separate patches).

I think I'll skip reviewing this version beyond this email, as the
required changes appear quite intrusive.

Thanks
Laszlo
