Sometimes a platform knows exactly how many CPUs it has at boot. It should
be able to
- set PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber dynamically to this number,
- set PcdCpuApInitTimeOutInMicroSeconds to a very long time (for example
MAX_UINT32, approx. 71 minutes),
- and expect that MpInitLib wait exactly as long as necessary for all APs
to report in.
Other platforms should be able to continue setting a reasonably large
upper bound on supported CPUs, and waiting for a reasonable, fixed amount
of time for all APs to report in.
Add this functionality. The TimedWaitForApFinish() function will return
when all APs have reported in, or the timeout has expired -- whichever
happens first.
(Accessing these PCDs dynamically is safe. The PEI and DXE phase instances
of this library are restricted to PEIM and DXE_DRIVER client modules, thus
the PCD accesses cannot be linked into runtime code.)
