Heap guard makes use of paging mechanism to implement its functionality. But
there's no protocol or library available to change page attribute in SMM mode.
A new protocol gEdkiiSmmMemoryAttributeProtocolGuid is introduced to make it
happen. This protocol provide three interfaces
struct _EDKII_SMM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PROTOCOL {
EDKII_SMM_GET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES GetMemoryAttributes;
EDKII_SMM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES SetMemoryAttributes;
EDKII_SMM_CLEAR_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES ClearMemoryAttributes;
};
Since heap guard feature need to update page attributes. The page table
should not set to be read-only if heap guard feature is enabled for SMM
mode. Otherwise this feature cannot work.
