BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4172
TDVF once accepts memory only by BSP. To improve the boot performance
this patch introduce the multi-core accpet memory. Multi-core means
BSP and APs work together to accept memory.
TDVF leverages mailbox to wake up APs. It is not enabled in MpInitLib
(Which requires SIPI). So multi-core accept memory cannot leverages
MpInitLib to coordinate BSP and APs to work together.
So TDVF split the accept memory into 2 phases.
- AcceptMemoryForAPsStack:
BSP accepts a small piece of memory which is then used by APs to setup
stack. We assign a 16KB stack for each AP. So a td-guest with 256 vCPU
requires 255*16KB = 4080KB.
- AcceptMemory:
After above small piece of memory is accepted, BSP commands APs to
accept memory by sending AcceptPages command in td-mailbox. Together
with the command and accpet-function, the APsStack address is send
as well. APs then set the stack and jump to accept-function to accept
memory.
AcceptMemoryForAPsStack accepts as small memory as possible and then jump
to AcceptMemory. It fully takes advantage of BSP/APs to work together.
After accept memory is done, the memory region for APsStack is not used
anymore. It can be used as other private memory. Because accept-memory
is in the very beginning of boot process and it will not impact other
phases.
