[edk2-devel] [PATCH v1 0/5] EDK2 Code First: PI Specification: Update EFI_MM_COMMUNICATE_HEADER

[Kun Qin]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3430

In PI Spec v1.7 Errata A, Vol.4, Sec 5.7 MM Communication Protocol, the
MessageLength field of EFI_MM_COMMUNICATE_HEADER (also derived as
EFI_SMM_COMMUNICATE_HEADER) is currently defined as type UINTN.

But this structure, as a generic definition, could be used for both PEI
and DXE MM communication. Thus for a system that supports PEI MM launch,
but operates PEI in 32bit mode and MM foundation in 64bit, the current
EFI_MM_COMMUNICATE_HEADER definition will cause structure parse error due
to UINTN being used.

The suggested change is to make the MessageLength field defined with
definitive size as below:
```
typedef struct {
EFI_GUID  HeaderGuid;
UINT64    MessageLength;
UINT8     Data[ANYSIZE_ARRAY];
} EFI_MM_COMMUNICATE_HEADER;
```
