Hey Isaac, Thanks for your input! :) Looking at the amount of things that are duplicated from DXE to PEI (MP, variable services, PCD, GOP, ...), this sounds like all the more reason to me to have some

Hey Brian, Personally, I don't think this topic can get enough attention. Thanks! :) My suggestion to use a private function array would indeed require shims, however this would be the "better than no

I mean, did you plan to deploy ASan in production? I'm not sure a full implementation is performant or compatible with space constraints. Being a debug feature, I'm surprised this is a reason for reje

Hey Vincent, In fact I haven't, thanks a lot! Are there any known blockers for these outside development resources? Except for C++, they are things we'd want asap downstream. I guess rather than Overf

CC Mike (proposal review as per announcement mail) Hey Ada, I can neither decide on nor even view your proposal (I think that's up to Nate and Mike?), but I had a brief conversation with Vitaly about

It’s not about the fact that stages of rising complexity exist (SEC for example is nice), but more so that the PEI and DXE dispatchers share quite a bunch of code. PEI has more of a “DXE light” notion

I feel like there are so many much easier solutions to this problem that are at most limited by the clear specification. The UEFI specification with regards to booting and all of that obviously is of

Which is already possible as part of protocols. In fact, there are such for string and device path operations. What about that model justifies a fundamental change? The worst issue is PEI because of X

Agreed. How about fuzz-testing? This is also something edk2 needs quite badly. At Acidanthera, we compile edk2 code in userspace outside the edk2 build system and fuzz with dummy applications. Pedro a

Do you use the “reply all” option in your mail client? Looks like my CCs have been dropped again. Comments inline. I really do not like the trend of treating UEFI as a full-fledged OS - it is not. The

CC Nate (GSoC admin) CC Steven (task mentor) CC edk2-devel (you picked the logically correct list, but it’s pretty dead and barely anyone reads it) Hey Ada, Out of mere curiosity, why did you pick thi

Hey, Some of these combinations sound very awkward because they are not strictly or strongly related language-wise. Examples: - In my opinion, a replica can very well be a main, it just cannot be an o

Hey Wenyi, Sorry, I cannot help with the time one, but "partial chain" is how virtually any other crypto-solution works out-of-the-box. Basically there is a disagreement about what defines a root cert
