<title>BaseTools/build: Add defines for Windows build environments</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a0002ddc5342c7bb34fb3a0bb87c1235c8d8821d</id>
<content type='text'>
The stuart tools automatically add -D WIN_HOST_BUILD to
edk2 build command line if a Windows build environment
is detected. This behavior is added to build.py so that
builds of the EmulatorPkg using build.py are not required
to add the option -D WIN_HOST_BUILD when building in a
Windows environment. This aligns Linux and Windows builds
of the EmulatorPkg removing the need to specify extra
defines.

In order to build the EmulatorPkg for Windows Mingw
environments, EmulatorPkg DSC/FDF files require a way
to detect if Windows Mingw environment is present.
The Windows Mingw environment can be detected if
CLANG_BIN is set and mingw32-make.exe is detected
in the CLANG_BIN directory.

If a Windows Mingw environment is detected, add
-D WIN_MINGW32_BUILD to the edk2 build command line.

<title>BaseTools: Cap AutoGen thread count to avoid file descriptor exhaustion</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a058a2856dec7d3e837ca5034fe892c83bc8077e</id>
<content type='text'>
When the number of build threads multiplied by per-thread file
descriptor usage exceeds the system's open file descriptor limit,
some threads may fail to acquire necessary resources (e.g., pipes
or semaphores), leading to deadlocks or hangs during parallel builds.

To prevent this situation, calculate the safety upper limit of
concurrency by dividing the system's maximum file descriptor limit by
3 (An empirical value derived from balancing performance overhead
against the theoretical number of file descriptors consumed per thread).
The actual thread count is then clamped to this safe value.

Other usages of ThreadNum()—such as during actual compilation or log
queue creation—do not significantly contribute to file descriptor
consumption. Therefore, adjusting ThreadNum() globally would be
unwarranted, as it could unnecessarily restrict parallelism in stages
that are not FD-bound.

This ensures stable parallel builds even under constrained resource
limits.

<title>BaseTools: Handle file descriptor exhaustion during parallel build</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7aaf742d2dc3f188b0307544cc767e6879df9c9e</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, when file descriptors were exhausted in high-concurrency
builds (e.g., 512 threads with 1024 FD limit), the build would hang or
fail silently without clear indication of the root cause.

This change catches relevant OSError instances and terminates the build,
ensuring failures due to resource limits are explicit.

<content type='text'>
The DXE_SAL_DRIVER module type was introduced to support
Itanium (IPF) platforms. Since support for Itanium processors has been
dropped, the instances of DXE_SAL_DRIVER have been removed.

Set BUILD_TIME_EPOCH to the current UTC timestamp if not already present
in the environment.

Use the resulting value to print the "Build start time:" message.

<title>BaseTools/build.py: language cleanup around CheckEnvVariable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5ca97bf64f6447d935210a54b422656f90e502ce</id>
<content type='text'>
The function CheckEnvVariable in fact checks several environment
variables. And the comment at its invocation enumerates a specific set of
variables, which defeats half the point of abstracting it out into a
helper function.

Rename the function to the plural form and turn the comment into a list
of examples.

<title>BaseTools: Improve report generation for Nested Fvs.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0277d5d8f100f2490a08f3a7e38f08328283e4fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Build report would not detect a nested FV if the nested
FV was not in a subsection of an FFS statement.

Modify the build report to better handle some of the
variations of nested FVs.

Failing Example:

[Fv.FvName1]
  INF &lt;path to some driver&gt;.inf

[Fv.FvName0]
  FILE FV_IMAGE = B25ACDEF-39CE-4FA5-B50A-33E24DB1BDDF {
    SECTION FV_IMAGE = FvName1
  }

Working Example:

[Fv.FvName1]
  INF &lt;path to some driver&gt;.inf

[Fv.FvName0]
FILE FV_IMAGE = DA04F6BF-A0FD-47EC-928B-5101A6C95026 {
  SECTION GUIDED EE4E5898-3914-4259-9D6E-DC7BD79403CF
    PROCESSING_REQUIRED = TRUE {
      SECTION FV_IMAGE = FvName1
  }
}
