From 1c75bf3c21da79b1bc1d50cfc593b57f73f2c560 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Guenzel Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2022 16:44:15 +0800 Subject: UefiCpuPkg: Bug fix in 5LPage handling When build in DEBUG, the code asserts that 5LPage support is there when the physical address width is larger than 48. In a RELEASE build it will just force LA57 to 1 in CR4 even if CPUID(7).ECX[16] says it is not supported. UefiCpuPkg: Bug fix in 5LPage handling The hang (in the ASSERT) in DEBUG is not warranted as there are legal configurations with CPUID(7).ECX[16](==LA57)=0 and with a physical address width of larger than 48 (like 52). This is also supported by this code: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm/X64/PageTbl.c#L221 There (as long as physical address width is smaller or equal to 52) any address width above 48 will be reduced to 48 and the system can and will work without 5LPaging. The forced setting of LA57 in CR4 (in the absence of LA57 in CPUID(7).ECX) is a spec violation and should not happen. Hence the proposed fix a) removes the assert. b) only returns TRUE from Is5LevelPagingNeeded if 5LPaging is actually supported by HW.
