The patch "f07a9df9af60 ArmVirtPkg: Enable stack guard" enabled stack overflow detection for ArmVirtPkg. Following this patch, running UEFI shell command 'dmpstore' resulted in a crash indicating a stack overflow. Invoking 'dmpstore' results in recursive calls to CascadeProcessVariables () which apparently consumes the available stack space and overflows. Normally, SEC and PEI run off the initial stack, and the DxeIpl PEIM is in charge of launching the DxeCore with a full-sized stack and remapping it non-executable as well. PrePi platforms take some shortcuts and the DXE and BDS run off the initial stack which is relatively small. It is therefore desirable to allocate 128 KiB worth of boot services data memory as the stack for the Dxe phase. The PrePiMain () in ArmVirtPkg/PrePi/PrePi.c invokes the LoadDxeCoreFromFv () to load the Dxe core and transfers control. The second parameter to LoadDxeCoreFromFv () is the stack size, which is currently set to 0. LoadDxeCoreFromFv () is implemented in PrePiLib and if the stack size is 0, it continues to use the initial stack. However, if a stack size is specified in the call to LoadDxeCoreFromFv (), memory is allocated for a new stack and the stack is switched to use the newly allocated stack for the Dxe phase. Therefore, specify 128 KiB as the stack size in the call to LoadDxeCoreFromFv () so that a separate stack is allocated and used for the Dxe phase.
