* OvmfPkg: End timer interrupt later to avoid stack overflow under loadIgor Druzhinin2020-06-181-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RestoreTPL called while at TPL_HIGH_LEVEL unconditionally enables interrupts even if called in interrupt handler. That opens a window while interrupt is not completely handled but another interrupt could be accepted. If a VM starts on a heavily loaded host hundreds of periodic timer interrupts might be queued while vCPU is descheduled (the behavior is typical for a Xen host). The next time vCPU is scheduled again all of them get delivered back to back causing OVMF to accept each one without finishing a previous one and cleaning up the stack. That quickly results in stack overflow and a triple fault. Fix it by postponing sending EOI until we finished processing the current tick giving interrupt handler opportunity to clean up the stack before accepting the next tick.

* OvmfPkg/8254TimerDxe: Update to make it build for OVMFHao Wu2019-04-111-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1496 This commit will remove the IntelFrameworkPkg DEC file dependency in the driver INF file. A new GUID has been updated for the INF file. Corresponding changes have been made in OVMF DSC files as well in order to verify the build. Please note that a subsequent commit (final patch of the series) will: A) Add OvmfPkg/8254TimerDxe driver in OVMF FDF files; B) Remove the consumption of PcAtChipsetPkg/8254TimerDxe driver in OVMF DSC/FDF files.
