MdePkg/BaseLib: Let CpuDeadLoop() be breakable in debugger

2024-06-12T07:18:12+00:00

Starting from certain version of Visual Studio C compiler (I don’t have the exact version. I am using VS2019), CpuDeadLoop is optimized quite well by compiler. The compiler does not generate instructions that jump out of the loop when the "Index" is non-zero. It becomes harder/impossible for developers to break out of the dead-loop in debugger. The new version of CpuDeadLoop() compares a volatile global to a volatile local. This forces 2 reads and a comparison on every loop iteration. The local variable can be set to 1 to exit the loop without modifying the global variable. Using VS2019 with max opt enabled, The dead-loop can be exit by setting Index to 1 in a debugger.

MdePkg: use CpuPause() in CpuDeadLoop()

2021-03-25T03:40:17+00:00

CpuPause() might allow the CPU to go into a lower power state state while we spin. On X86, CpuPause() executes a PAUSE instruction which the Intel and AMD specs describe as follows: Intel: "PAUSE: An additional function of the PAUSE instruction is to reduce the power consumed by a processor while executing a spin loop. A processor can execute a spin-wait loop extremely quickly, causing the processor to consume a lot of power while it waits for the resource it is spinning on to become available. Inserting a pause instruction in a spin-wait loop greatly reduces the processor?s power consumption." AMD: "PAUSE: Improves the performance of spin loops, by providing a hint to the processor that the current code is in a spin loop. The processor may use this to optimize power consumption while in the spin loop. Architecturally, this instruction behaves like a NOP instruction." On RISC-V and ARM64, CpuPause() executes a NOP, which is no worse than the tight loop we have.
