SERIAL_DXE_FILE_GUID is used in different places, create a single
define that other can use. Also fix SerialDxe to actually use
EDKII_SERIAL_PORT_LIB_VENDOR_GUID in the device path instead of the
FILE_GUID.

After commit 91cc526b15 "MdeModulePkg/SerialDxe: Fix not able to change
serial attributes", serial is initialized using the reset method that
will call SetAttributes.
However, SetAttributes may return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER when a driver
does not support some parameters. This will be propagated by the reset
function and lead to UEFI failing to get the console setup.
For instance, this is the case when using the Xen console driver.
Fix it by introspecting the result and return EFI_SUCCESS when the
SetAttributes report an invalid parameter (i.e EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER).

SerialSetAttributes is meant to match the behavior of the function
EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL.SetAttributes() in the UEFI spec (v2.7). This
means the function can only return:
- EFI_SUCCESS
- EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER
- EFI_DEVICE_ERROR
However the function SerialPortSetAttributes may also validly return
EFI_UNSUPPORTED. For instance this is the case of the Xen Console
driver.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED could be also interpreted as "One or more of the attributes
has an unsupported value". So return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER in that case.
Lastly, to prevent another return slipping in the future, all the errors
but EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER and EFI_UNSUPPORTED will return
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR.

reported "Xen Console input very slow in recent UEFI" that appears
after 4cf3f37c87 "MdeModulePkg
SerialDxe: Process timeout consistently in SerialRead".
Julien did more debugging and find out the following is happening in
TerminalConInTimerHandler (MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe)
when a character is received:
1) GetControl will return EFI_SERIAL_INPUT_BUFFER_EMPTY unset
=> Entering in the loop to fetch character from the serial
2) GetOneKeyFromSerial()
=> Return directly with the character read
3) Looping as the fifo is not full and no error
4) GetOneKeyFromSerial() -> SerialRead()
=> No more character so SerialPortPoll() will return FALSE and loop
until timeout
=> Return EFI_TIMEOUT
5) Exiting the loop from TerminalConInTimerHandler
6) Characters are printed
After some investigation, I found it is related to the Timeout value.
The Timeout is 1000000 (1s) by default to follow UEFI spec.
And the Terminal driver will recalculate and set the Timeout value
based on the properties of UART in TerminalDriverBindingStart()/
TerminalConInTimerHandler().
SerialInTimeOut = 0;
if (Mode->BaudRate != 0) {
//
// According to BAUD rate to calculate the timeout value.
//
SerialInTimeOut = (1 + Mode->DataBits + Mode->StopBits) *
2 * 1000000 / (UINTN) Mode->BaudRate;
}
For example, based on the PCD values of PcdUartDefaultBaudRate,
PcdUartDefaultDataBits and PcdUartDefaultStopBits, SerialInTimeOut =
(1 + 8 + 1) * 2 * 1000000 / (UINTN) 115200 = 173 (us).
When SerialDxe is used,
TerminalDriverBindingStart()/TerminalConInTimerHandler() ->
SerialIo->SetAttributes() ->
SerialSetAttributes() ->
SerialPortSetAttributes()
Some implementations of SerialPortSetAttributes() could handle the
input parameters and return RETURN_SUCCESS, for example
BaseSerialPortLib16550, then Timeout value will be changed to 173 (us),
no "slow down" will be observed.
But some implementations of SerialPortSetAttributes() just return
RETURN_UNSUPPORTED, for example XenConsoleSerialPortLib, then Timeout
value will be not changed and kept 1000000 (1s), "slow down" will be
observed.
SerialPortLib instance can be enhanced to
1. Handle the input parameters and return status accordingly instead of
just returning RETURN_UNSUPPORTED in SerialPortSetAttributes().
2. Just return RETURN_SUCCESS instead of RETURN_UNSUPPORTED in
SerialPortSetAttributes() if the instance does not care the input
parameters at all.
And SerialDxe can also be enhanced like this patch to be more robust
to handle Timeout change.

Issue : When try to change serial attributes using sermode
command, the default values are set with the execute flow
as below.
The sermode command calls SerialSetAttributes, which sets H/W
attributes of Serial device. After that the SerialIo protocol is
reinstalled, which causes MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe
and MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/ConPlatformDxe drivers' bindings
to stop and then start. This in turn calls SerialReset, which undoes
changes of SerialSetAttributes.
Cause : The SerialReset command resets the attributes' values
to default.
Fix : Serial Reset command should set the attributes which have
been changed by user after calling SerialSetAttributes.

reported the timeout processing in SerialRead is not consistent.
Since SerialPortPoll only checks the status of serial port and
returns immediately, and SerialPortRead does not really implement
a time out mechanism and will always wait for enough input,
it will cause below results:
1. If there is no serial input at all, this interface will return
timeout immediately without any waiting;
2. If there is A characters in serial port FIFO, and caller requires
A+1 characters, it will wait until a new input is coming and timeout
will not really occur.
This patch is to update SerialRead() to check SerialPortPoll() and
read data through SerialPortRead() one byte by one byte, and check
timeout against mSerialIoMode.Timeout if no input.

In "11.8 Serial I/O Protocol", UEFI 2.5 requires:
The default attributes for all UART-style serial device interfaces are:
(a) 115,200 baud,
(b) a 1 byte receive FIFO,
(c) a 1,000,000 microsecond timeout per character,
(d) no parity,
(e) 8 data bits,
(f) and 1 stop bit.
It also says, about the EFI_SERIAL_IO_MODE.ControlMask member:
(g) A mask of the Control bits that the device supports. The device must
always support the Input Buffer Empty control bit.
SerialDxe complies with requirement (b) via hard-coded constants. It
complies with requirements (a), (d), (e) and (f) through PCD defaults (see
MdePkg/MdePkg.dec):
(a) 115,200 baud:
gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdUartDefaultBaudRate|115200|UINT64|0x00000020
(d) no parity:
# 1 - No Parity.<BR>
gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdUartDefaultParity|1|UINT8|0x00000022
(e) 8 data bits:
gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdUartDefaultDataBits|8|UINT8|0x00000021
(f) 1 stop bit:
# 1 - One Stop Bit.<BR>
gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdUartDefaultStopBits|1|UINT8|0x00000023
SerialDxe does not comply with requirements (c) and (g). In this patch, we
fix (c), and leave (g) for later.

This Serial driver layers on top of a Serial Port Library instance
to produce serial IO protocol.
There is also another SerialDxe implementation in CorebootPayloadPkg,
but SerialDxe from EmbeddedPkg should be better that also consumes
the extended interfaces GetControl/SetControl/SetAttributes in
EmbeddedPkg/Include/Library/SerialPortExtLib.h for serial IO protocol.
And the extended interfaces GetControl/SetControl/SetAttributes in
EmbeddedPkg/Include/Library/SerialPortExtLib.h has been upstream to
MdePkg/Include/Library/SerialPortLib.h.
