[edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] UefiCpuPkg/CpuS3DataDxe: do not allocate useless register tables

[Laszlo Ersek]

CpuS3DataDxe allocates the "RegisterTable" and "PreSmmInitRegisterTable"
arrays in ACPI_CPU_DATA just so every processor in the system can have its
own empty register table, matched by APIC ID. This has never been useful
in practice.

Given commit e992cc3f4859 ("UefiCpuPkg PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Reduce SMRAM
consumption in CpuS3.c", 2021-01-11), simply leave both
"AcpiCpuData->RegisterTable" and "AcpiCpuData->PreSmmInitRegisterTable"
initialized to the zero address. This simplifies the driver, and saves
both normal RAM (boot services data type memory) and -- in PiSmmCpuDxeSmm
-- SMRAM.

Notes:
    v2:
    
    - no changes, pick up feedback tags
    
    v1:
    
    - Tested by temporarily replacing OvmfPkgPkg/CpuS3DataDxe in the OVMF
      IA32 and IA32X64 platforms with this driver -- this driver works OK in
      OVMF as long as no CPUs are hot-plugged.
