PEI variable implementation checks only the variable header signature for validity. This does not seem robust if system crash occurred during previous Reclaim() operation. If the crash occurred while FTW was rewriting the variable FV, the signature could be valid even though the rest of the FV isn't valid.
Solution: Add a FaultTolerantWritePei driver to check and provide the FTW last write status, then PEI variable and early phase(before FTW protocol ready) of DXE variable can check the status and determine if all or partial variable data has been backed up in spare block, and then use the backed up data.

set old variable to IN_DELETED_TRANSITION -> check if reclaim is needed(If yes, do reclaim) -> add new variable -> set old variable to DELETED if no reclaim happened.
to:
set old variable to IN_DELETED_TRANSITION -> check if reclaim is needed(If yes, do reclaim) -> add new variable -> set old variable to DELETED.
2. Update UpdateVariable() to correctly handle the case "both ADDED and IN_DELETED_TRANSITION variable are present", and delete both old ADDED and IN_DELETED_TRANSITION variable when deleting or updating variable.
3. Update VariableServiceGetNextVariableName() to return the valid IN_DELETED_TRANSITION variable if only IN_DELETED_TRANSITION variable is present.

2. When no DELETED variable found, no variable space could be reclaimed, so just give some debug info and return EFI_SUCCESS.

The Variable PEI and RuntimeDxe drivers were using the attribute 'HeaderLength' of
EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_HEADER without checking if a Firmware Volume Header was existing at
the base address.
In case the Firmware Volume Header does not exist or is corrupted, the attribute 'HeaderLength'
is a non valid value that can lead to a non valid physical address when accessing produces an
access error.

2. Boot time variable reclaim issue is caused by incorrect flash layout. Platform integrator should ensure that the size of variable region must less than FTW spare space size.
3. Per UEFI Specification, variables of attribute HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD are guaranteed to have its own storage space size.original implementation doesn’t meet this requirement

2. modify the method of getting right FVB protocol interface. move the notification event of FVB installation into variable driver. and also move ExitBootService event into variable driver.
3. use EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS flag to distinct whether the FVB protocol supports writing operation or not.Currently, DxeCore installs FVB which has ~EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS(that is, disable write) attrbiute. FvbRuntimeDxe driver should provide a full FVB protocol, which returns EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS attribute to signify itself provide writable FVB protocol. So other modules which need write data by FVB protocol can locate it correctly.

2. move VariableFormat.h into GUID directory and change the “Signature” field of the VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER to gEfiVariableGuid value.
3. merging VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY structure into the new Include/Guid/VariableFormat.h
4. change gEfiVariableInfoGuid into gEfiVariableGuid.
5. modify FDF files to use new guid value instead of the original signature.
6. all code related to signature is changed to use guid value.

2) Add HEADER_VALID_ONLY state of variable, which represents only the header is valid and the data/name is stale. This may be caused by incomplete data updating. Adding the state helps to check whether the header is valid. If variable header is valid, then we must skip the data of variable with the valid size. If the header is invalid, we should only skip the header of variable.

2) Check the integrity of Variable header. In original implementation, if not whole header is correct, then the variable will be treat as invalid. typically, if the NameSize has been programed but the DataSize not, then the variable storage would failed to set new variable.
3) Change the Variable Header Alignment from 1 to 4 bytes on x86. It avoids the DataSize or NameSize cross two blocks. For example, in original implementation, if the NameSize crosses two block, when the FLASH manipulation is interrupted after programed HSB of NameSize and prior to program LSB of NameSize on next block, then the invalid variable header will result in the Variable Storgae broken.
