XD (ExecutionDisable) feature, when turned on, allows page table
entry BIT63 set to 1 indicating the memory pointed by the page table
is disallowed to execute.
DxeIpl::CreateIdentityMappingPageTables() enables the XD when CPU
supports it.
Later DxeCore modifies the page table to set the BIT63 to protect
the stack/heap to disallow code execution in stack/heap.
UefiCpuPkg/CpuCommonFeaturesLib enables/disables the XD feature
according to PcdCpuFeaturesSetting.
When XD is disabled, GP fault is generated immediately because some
page entries have BIT63 set.
To fix this issue, this patch removes the XD feature logic from
UefiCpuPkg/CpuCommonFeaturesLib so the XD feature is only taken
care of by DxeIpl.

In order to permit the use of compilers that only implement the small
code model [which involves the use of ADRP instructions that require
4 KB segment alignment] for generating PE/COFF binaries with a small
footprint, we patch ADRP instructions into ADR instructions while doing
the ELF to PE/COFF conversion.
As it turns out, the linker may be doing the same, but for different
reasons: there is a silicon erratum #843419 for ARM Cortex-A53 which
affects ADRP instructions appearing at a certain offset in memory, and
one of the mitigations for this erratum is to patch them into ADR
instructions at link time if the symbol reference is within -/+ 1 MB.
However, the LD linker fails to update the static relocation tables, and
so we end up with an ADR instruction in the fully linked binary, but
with a relocation entry in the RELA section identifying it as an ADRP
instruction.
Since the linker has already updated the symbol reference, there is no
handling needed in GenFw for such instructions, and we can simply treat
it as an ordinary ADR. However, since it is guaranteed to be accompanied
by an add or load instruction with a LO12 relocation referencing the same
symbol, the section offset check we apply to ADR instructions is going to
take place anyway, so we can just disregard the ADR instruction entirely.

This change reduces SMIs for GetVariable () by maintaining a
UEFI variable cache in Runtime DXE in addition to the pre-
existing cache in SMRAM. When the Runtime Service GetVariable()
is invoked, a Runtime DXE cache is used instead of triggering an
SMI to VariableSmm. This can improve overall system performance
by servicing variable read requests without rendezvousing all
cores into SMM.
The runtime cache can be disabled with by setting the FeaturePCD

used and an SMI will be triggered for Runtime Service
GetVariable () and GetNextVariableName () invocations.
The following are important points regarding the behavior of the
variable drivers when the variable runtime cache is enabled.
1. All of the non-volatile storage contents are loaded into the
cache upon driver load. This one time load operation from storage
is preferred as opposed to building the cache on demand. An on-
demand cache would require a fallback SMI to load data into the
cache as variables are requested.
2. SetVariable () requests will continue to always trigger an SMI.
This occurs regardless of whether the variable is volatile or
non-volatile.
3. Both volatile and non-volatile variables are cached in a runtime
buffer. As is the case in the current EDK II variable driver, they
continue to be cached in separate buffers.
4. The cache in Runtime DXE and SMM are intended to be exact copies
of one another. All SMM variable accesses only return data from the
SMM cache. The runtime caches are only updated after the variable I/O
operation is successful in SMM. The runtime caches are only updated
from SMM.
5. Synchronization mechanisms are in place to ensure the runtime cache
content integrity with the SMM cache. These may result in updates to
runtime cache that are the same in content but different in offset and
size from updates to the SMM cache.
When using SMM variables with runtime cache enabled, two caches will now
be present.
1. "Runtime Cache" - Maintained in VariableSmmRuntimeDxe. Used to service
Runtime Services GetVariable () and GetNextVariableName () callers.
2. "SMM Cache" - Maintained in VariableSmm to service SMM GetVariable ()
and GetNextVariableName () callers.
a. This cache is retained so SMM modules do not operate on data outside
SMRAM.
Because a race condition can occur if an SMI occurs during the execution
of runtime code reading from the runtime cache, a runtime cache read lock
is introduced that explicitly moves pending updates from SMM to the runtime
cache if an SMM update occurs while the runtime cache is locked. Note that
it is not expected a Runtime services call will interrupt SMM processing
since all CPU cores rendezvous in SMM.
It is possible to view UEFI variable read and write statistics by setting
the gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdVariableCollectStatistics FeaturePcd
to TRUE and using the VariableInfo UEFI application in MdeModulePkg to dump
variable statistics to the console. By doing so, a user can view the number
of GetVariable () hits from the Runtime DXE variable driver (Runtime Cache
hits) and the SMM variable driver (SMM Cache hits). SMM Cache hits for
GetVariable () will occur when SMM modules invoke GetVariable ().

The current VariableInfo application only checks for variable
statistics from SMM if the variable information entries are
not present in the UEFI System Configuration table as published
by the DXE UEFI variable driver (VariableRuntimeDxe).
This change first checks for variable information entries in the
UEFI System Configuration but always checks for entries in SMM
as well. If the SMM variable driver is not present, an instance of
EFI_SMM_VARIABLE_PROTOCOL will not be found and the search for
SMM variable statistics will be aborted (an SW SMI to get variable
statistics will not be triggered).
In the case variable statistics are provided by both a Runtime DXE
driver (e.g. VariableSmmRuntimeDxe) and a SMM driver (VariableSmm),
this change will clearly identify statistics from each respective
driver.

This change adds a dedicated file for variable operations specific
to non-volatile variables. This decreases the overall length of the
relatively large Variable.c file.
