419db80b 2# PCD DXE driver manage database contains all dynamic PCD entries and produce the implementation of PCD protocol.\r
6c74c538 3#\r
419db80b 4# This version PCD DXE depends on the external PCD database binary file, not built in PCD data base. \r
6c74c538 5# There are two PCD Protocols as follows:\r
6# 1) PCD_PROTOCOL \r
7# It is EDKII implementation which support Dynamic/DynamicEx type Pcds.\r
419db80b 8# 2) EFI_PCD_PROTOCOL\r
6c74c538 9# It is defined by PI specification 1.2, Vol 3 which only support dynamicEx \r
10# type Pcd.\r
11#\r
419db80b 12# For dynamicEx type PCD, it is compatible between PCD_PROTOCOL and EFI_PCD_PROTOCOL. \r
6c74c538 13# PCD DXE driver will produce above two protocols at same time.\r

23#\r
24# 1, Introduction\r
25# PCD database hold all dynamic type PCD information. The structure of PEI PCD \r
26# database is generated by build tools according to dynamic PCD usage for \r
27# specified platform.\r
28# \r
29# 2, Dynamic Type PCD\r
30# Dynamic type PCD is used for the configuration/setting which value is determined\r
31# dynamic. In contrast, the value of static type PCD (FeatureFlag, FixedPcd, \r
32# PatchablePcd) is fixed in final generated FD image in build time. \r
33# \r
34# 2.1 The "dynamic" determination means one of below cases:\r
35# a) The PCD setting value is produced by someone driver and consumed by \r
36# other driver in execution time.\r
37# b) The PCD setting value is set/get by user from FrontPage.\r
38# c) The PCD setting value is produced by platform OEM vendor in specified area.\r
39# \r
40# 2.2 According to module distribution way, dynamic PCD could be classfied as:\r
41# a) Dynamic:\r
42# If module is released in source code and will be built with platform \r
43# DSC, the dynamic PCD used by this module can be accessed as:\r
44# PcdGetxx(PcdSampleDynamicPcd); \r
45# In building platform, build tools will translate PcdSampleDynamicPcd to\r
46# pair of {Token Space Guid: Token Number} for this PCD. \r
47# b) DynamicEx:\r
48# If module is release as binary and will not pariticpate platform building,\r
49# the dynamic PCD used by this module need be accessed as:\r
50# PcdGetxxEx(gEfiMyTokenspaceGuid, PcdSampleDynamicPcd)\r
51# Developer need explicity gives {Token Space Guid:Token Number} as parameter\r
52# in writting source code.\r
53# \r
54# 2.3 According to PCD value's storage method, dynamic PCD could be classfied as:\r
55# a) Default Storage: \r
56# - The PCD value is stored in PCD database maintained by PCD driver in boot \r
57# time memory.\r
58# - This type is used for communication between PEIM/DXE driver, DXE/DXE \r
59# driver. But all set/get value will be losted after boot-time memory \r
60# is turn off.\r
61# - [PcdsDynamicDefault] is used as section name for this type PCD in \r
62# platform DSC file. [PcdsDynamicExDefault] is used for dynamicEx type PCD.\r
63# \r
64# b) Variable Storage: \r
65# - The PCD value is stored in variable area. \r
66# - As default storage type, this type PCD could be used for PEI/DXE driver\r
419db80b 67# communication. But beside it, this type PCD could also be used to store \r
b6b3dc44 68# the value associate with a HII setting via variable interface.\r
69# - In PEI phase, the PCD value could only be got but can not be set due \r
70# to variable area is readonly.\r
71# - [PcdsDynamicHii] is used as section name for this type PCD in platform \r
72# DSC file. [PcdsDynamicExHii] is for dynamicEx type PCD.\r
73# \r
74# c) OEM specificed storage area:\r
75# - The PCD value is stored in OEM specified area which base address is \r
76# specified by a FixedAtBuild PCD setting - PcdVpdBaseAddress.\r
77# - The area is read only for PEI and DXE phase.\r
78# - [PcdsDynamicVpd] is used as section name for this type PCD in platform \r
79# DSC file. [PcdsDynamicExVpd] is for dynamicex type PCD.\r
80# \r
81# 2.4 When and how to use dynamic PCD\r
82# Module developer do not care the used PCD is dynamic or static when writting\r
83# source code/INF. Dynamic PCD and dynamic type is pointed by platform integrator \r
84# in platform DSC file. Please ref section 2.3 to get matching between dynamic\r
85# PCD type and section name in DSC file.\r
86# \r
87# 3, PCD database:\r
88# Although dynamic PCD could be in different storage type as above description, \r
89# but the basic information and default value for all dynamic PCD is hold\r
90# by PCD database maintained by PEI/DXE driver.\r
91# \r
92# As the whole EFI BIOS boot path is divided into PEI/DXE phase, the PCD database\r
93# also is divided into Pei/Dxe database maintaied by PcdPeim/PcdDxe driver separatly.\r
94# To make PcdPeim's driver image smaller, PEI PCD database only hold all dynamic\r
95# PCD information used in PEI phase or use in both PEI/DXE phase. And DXE PCD\r
96# database contains all PCDs used in PEI/DXE phase in memory.\r
97# \r
419db80b 98# Build tool will generate PCD database into the separate binary file for \r
b6b3dc44 99# PEI/DXE PCD driver according to dynamic PCD section in platform DSC file. \r
100# \r
101# 3.1 PcdPeim and PcdDxe\r
102# PEI PCD database is maintained by PcdPeim driver run from flash. PcdPeim driver\r
419db80b 103# build guid hob in temporary memory and copy the binary data base from flash \r
b6b3dc44 104# to temporary memory for PEI PCD database. \r
105# DXE PCD database is maintained by PcdDxe driver.At entry point of PcdDxe driver,\r
106# a new PCD database is allocated in boot-time memory which including all\r
107# PEI PCD and DXE PCD entry.\r
108# \r
109# Pcd driver should run as early as possible before any other driver access\r
110# dynamic PCD's value. PEI/DXE "Apriori File" mechanism make it possible by\r
111# making PcdPeim/PcdDxe as first dispatching driver in PEI/DXE phase.\r
112# \r
113# 3.2 Token space Guid/Token number, Platform token, Local token number\r

133# \r
134# 3.2.1 Pair of Token space guid + Token number\r
135# Any type PCD is identified by pair of "TokenSpaceGuid + TokeNumber". But it\r
136# is not easy maintained by PCD driver, and hashed token number will make \r
137# searching slowly. \r
138#\r
139# 3.2.2 Platform Token Number\r
140# "Platform token number" concept is introduced for mapping to a pair of \r
141# "TokenSpaceGuid + TokenNumber". The platform token number is generated by \r
142# build tool in autogen.h and all of them are continual in a platform scope \r
143# started from 1.(0 meaning invalid internal token number)\r
144# With auto-generated "platform token number", PcdGet(PcdSampleDynamicPcd)\r
145# in source code is translated to LibPcdGet(_PCD_TOKEN_PcdSampleDynamicPcd) \r
146# in autogen.h.\r
147# Notes: The mapping between pair of "tokenspace guid + token number" and\r
148# "internal token number" need build tool establish, so "platform token number"\r
149# mechanism is not suitable for binary module which use DynamicEx type PCD.\r
150# To access a dynamicEx type PCD, pair of "token space guid/token number" all need\r
151# to be specificed for PcdSet/PcdGet accessing macro.\r
152# \r
153# Platform Token Number is started from 1, and inceased continuous. From whole \r
154# platform scope, there are two zones: PEI Zone and DXE Zone\r
155# | Platform Token Number\r
156# ----------|----------------------------------------------------------------\r
157# PEI Zone: | 1 ~ PEI_LOCAL_TOKEN_NUMBER\r
158# DXE Zone: | (PEI_LOCAL_TOKEN_NUMBER + 1) ~ (PEI_LOCAL_TOKEN_NUMBER + DXE_LOCAL_TOKEN_NUMBER)\r
159# \r
160# 3.2.3 Local Token Number\r
161# To fast searching a PCD entry in PCD database, PCD driver translate \r
162# platform token number to local token number via a mapping table.\r
163# For binary DynamicEx type PCD, there is a another mapping table to translate\r
164# "token space guid + token number" to local token number directly.\r
165# Local token number is identifier for all internal interface in PCD PEI/DXE\r
166# driver.\r
167# \r
168# A local token number is a 32-bit value in following meaning:\r
169# 32 ------------- 28 ---------- 24 -------- 0\r
170# | PCD type mask | Datum Type | Offset |\r
171# +-----------------------------------------+\r
172# where:\r
173# PCd type mask: indicate Pcd type from following macro:\r
174# PCD_TYPE_DATA\r
175# PCD_TYPE_HII\r
176# PCD_TYPE_VPD\r
177# PCD_TYPE_SKU_ENABLED\r
178# PCD_TYPE_STRING\r
179# Datum Type : indicate PCD vaue type from following macro:\r
180# PCD_DATUM_TYPE_POINTER\r
181# PCD_DATUM_TYPE_UINT8\r
182# PCD_DATUM_TYPE_UINT16\r
183# PCD_DATUM_TYPE_UINT32\r
184# PCD_DATUM_TYPE_UINT64\r
185# Offset : indicate the related offset of PCD value in PCD database array.\r
186# Based on local token number, PCD driver could fast determine PCD type, value\r
187# type and get PCD entry from PCD database.\r
188# \r

189# 3.3 PCD Database binary file\r
190# PCD Database binary file will be created at build time as the standalone binary image. \r
191# To understand the binary image layout, PCD Database C structure is still generated \r
192# as comments by build tools in PCD driver's autogen.h/\r
b6b3dc44 193# autogen.c file. In generated C structure, following information is stored:\r
194# - ExMapTable: This table is used translate a binary dynamicex type PCD's \r
195# "tokenguid + token" to local token number.\r
196# - LocalTokenNumberTable:\r
197# This table stores all local token number in array, use "Internal\r
198# token number" as array index to get PCD entry's offset fastly.\r
199# - SizeTable: This table stores the size information for all PCD entry.\r
200# - GuidTable: This table stores guid value for DynamicEx's token space,\r
419db80b 201# HII type PCD's variable GUID.\r
b6b3dc44 202# - SkuIdTable: TBD\r
203# - SystemSkuId: TBD\r
204# - PCD value structure: \r
205# Every PCD has a value record in PCD database. For different\r
206# datum type PCD has different record structure which will be \r
207# introduced in 3.3.1\r
208# \r
209# In a PCD database structure, there are two major area: Init and UnInit. \r
210# Init area is use stored above PCD internal structure such as ExMapTable, \r
211# LocalTokenNumberTable etc and the (default) value of PCD which has default \r
212# value specified in platform DSC file.\r
213# Unint area is used stored the value of PCD which has no default value in\r
214# platform DSC file, the value of NULL, 0 specified in platform DSC file can\r
215# be seemed as "no default value".\r
216# \r
217# 3.3.1 Simple Sample PCD Database C Structure\r
218# A general sample of PCD database structue is as follows:\r
219# typedef struct _PCD_DATABASE {\r
220# typedef struct _PCD_DATABASE_INIT {\r
221# //===== Following is PCD database internal maintain structures\r
222# DYNAMICEX_MAPPING ExMapTable[PEI_EXMAPPING_TABLE_SIZE];\r
223# UINT32 LocalTokenNumberTable[PEI_LOCAL_TOKEN_NUMBER_TABLE_SIZE];\r
224# GUID GuidTable[PEI_GUID_TABLE_SIZE];\r
225# SIZE_INFO SizeTable[PEI_SIZE_TABLE_SIZE];\r
226# UINT8 SkuIdTable[PEI_SKUID_TABLE_SIZE];\r
227# SKU_ID SystemSkuId;\r
228# \r
229# //===== Following is value structure for PCD with default value\r
230# ....\r
231# ....\r
232# ....\r
233# } Init;\r
234# typedef struct _PCD_DATABSE_UNINIT {\r
235# //==== Following is value structure for PCD without default value\r
236# ....\r
237# ....\r
238# } UnInit;\r
239# }\r
240# \r
241# 3.3.2 PCD value structure in PCD database C structure\r
242# The value's structure is generated by build tool in PCD database C structure.\r
243# The PCDs in different datum type has different value structure.\r
244# \r
245# 3.3.2.1 UINT8/UINT16/UINT32/UINT64 datum type PCD\r
246# The C structure for these datum type PCD is just a UINT8/UINT16/UINT32/UINT64\r
247# data member in PCD database, For example:\r
248# UINT16 PcdHardwareErrorRecordLevel_d3705011_bc19_4af7_be16_f68030378c15_VariableDefault_0;\r
249# Above structure is generated by build tool, the member name is "PcdCName_Guidvalue"\r
250# Member type is UINT16 according to PcdHardwareErrorRecordLevel declaration\r
251# in DEC file.\r
252# \r
253# 3.3.2.2 VOID* datum type PCD\r
254# The value of VOID* datum type PCD is a UINT8/UINT16 array in PCD database.\r
255# \r
256# 3.3.2.2.1 VOID* - string type\r
257# If the default value for VOID* datum type PCD like L"xxx", the PCD is \r
258# used for unicode string, and C structure of this datum type PCD is \r
259# UINT16 string array in PCD database, for example:\r
260# UINT16 StringTable[29];\r
261# The number of 29 in above sample is max size of a unicode string.\r
262# \r
263# If the default value for VOID* datum type PCD like "xxx", the PCD is\r
264# used for ascii string, and C structure of this datum type PCD is \r
265# UINT8 string array in PCD database, for example:\r
266# UINT8 StringTable[20];\r
267# The number of 20 in above sample is max size of a ascii string.\r
268# \r
269# 3.3.2.2.2 VOID* - byte array\r
270# If the default value of VOID* datum type PCD like {'0x29', '0x01', '0xf2'}\r
271# the PCD is used for byte array. The generated structrue is same as \r
272# above ascii string table,\r
273# UINT8 StringTable[13];\r
