- If a platform boots such that the boot CPU count is smaller than
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber, then the platform cannot use the "fast
AP detection" logic added in commit 6e1987f19a. (Which has been
documented as a subset of use case (2) in the previous patch.)
Said logic depends on the boot CPU count being equal to
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber. If the equality does not hold, the
platform either has to wait too long, or risk missing APs due to an
early timeout.
- The platform may not be able to use the variant added in commit
0594ec417c either. (Which has been documented as use case (1) in the
previous patch.)
See commit 861218740d. When OVMF runs on QEMU/KVM, APs may check in
with the BSP in arbitrary order, plus the individual AP may take
arbitrarily long to check-in. If "NumApsExecuting" falls to zero
mid-enumeration, APs will be missed.
Allow platforms to specify the exact boot CPU count, independently of
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber. In this mode, the BSP waits for all APs
to check-in regardless of timeout. If at least one AP fails to check-in,
then the AP enumeration hangs forever. That is the desired behavior when
the exact boot CPU count is known in advance. (A hung boot is better than
an AP checking-in after timeout, and executing code from released
storage.)

AP has its own stack for code execution. If PcdCpuStackGuard is enabled,
the page at the bottom of stack of AP will be disabled (NOT PRESENT) to
monitor the stack overflow issue. This requires PcdCpuApStackSize to be
set with value more than one page of memory.

The current DxeDebugAgentLib supports source debugging on AP function. This
update is to update DxeMpInitLib to consume Debug Agent Library by
DEBUG_AGENT_INIT_DXE_AP flag. Thus, we could source debugging AP function
invoked by CPU MP Protocol.
However, current SecPeiDebugAgentLib does not support source debugging on AP
function invoked by CPU MP PPI. I have submitted one bugzilla to add this
support at https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308.

Add assembly code for AP reset vector and the definition of MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO
that are used to exchange the data between C code and assembly code when AP wake
up.
v4:
1. Copy MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO from UefiCpuPkg/CpuMpPei/CpuMpPei.h
2. Copy MpEqu.inc and MpFuncs.nasm from UefiCpuPkg/CpuMpPei.
v3:
1. Rename NumApsExecutingLoction to NumApsExecutingLocation
2. Add whitespace after ; in .nasm file

Add two MP Initialize Library instances PeiMpInitLib.inf and DxeMpInitLib.inf
with NULL implementation.
One PeiMpInitLib.inf is consumed by PEI MP driver. Another DxeMpInitLib.inf is
consumed by DXE MP driver.
Place MpInitLibStartupAllAPs()/MpInitLibStartupThisAp()/MpInitLibSwitchBSP()/
MpInitLibEnableDisableAP() into PeiMpLib.c and DxeMpLib.c, because they have
the different implementations and will be updated in latter patches.
v5:
1. Add back PeiExceptionHandlerLib.inf in UefiCpuPkg.dsc. It is removed
incorrectly.
v4:
1. Return EFI_UNSUPPORTED instead of EFI_SUCCESS for NULL implementation of
all Functions.
2. Sync MpInitLibxxx functions header updating described in v4 part of Patch
#4.
v3:
1. Rename MpInitLibSwitchBsp to MpInitLibSwitchBSP to match PI spec
