Fixes: 725acd0b9c
Before commit 725acd0b9c ("UefiCpuPkg: Avoid assuming only one
smmbasehob", 2023-12-12), PiCpuSmmEntry() used to look up
"gSmmBaseHobGuid", and allocate "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase" regardless of the
GUID's presence:
> - mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase = (UINTN *)AllocatePool (sizeof (UINTN) * mMaxNumberOfCpus);
> - ASSERT (mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase != NULL);
After commit 725acd0b9c, PiCpuSmmEntry() -> GetSmBase() would allocate
"mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase" only on the success path, and no allocation would
be performed on *any* of the error paths.
This caused a problem: if "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase" was left NULL because
the GUID HOB was missing, PiCpuSmmEntry() would still be supposed to
allocate "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase", just like earlier. However, because
commit 725acd0b9c conflated the two possible error modes (out of SMRAM,
and no GUID HOB), PiCpuSmmEntry() could not decide whether it should
allocate "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase", or not. Currently, we never allocate if
GetSmBase() fails -- for any reason --, which means that on platforms that
don't produce the GUID HOB, "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase" is left NULL, leading
to null pointer dereferences later, in PiCpuSmmEntry().
Now that a prior patch in the series distinguishes the two error modes
from each other, we can tell exactly when the GUID HOB is not found, and
reinstate the earlier "mCpuHotPlugData.SmBase" allocation for that case.
(With an actual error check thrown in, in addition to the original
"assertion".)
