<title>MdePkg: Replace include guards with #pragma once</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7835e5802a2a70984333c054002e449bfd1f0a0d</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace traditional `#ifndef`/`#define`/`#endif` include guards with
`#pragma` once.

`#pragma once` is a widely supported preprocessor directive that
prevents header files from being included multiple times. It is
supported by all toolchains used to build edk2: GCC, Clang/LLVM, and
MSVC.

Compared to macro-based include guards, `#pragma once`:

- Eliminates the risk of macro name collisions or copy/paste errors
  where two headers inadvertently use the same guard macro.
- Eliminate inconsistency in the way include guard macros are named
  (e.g., some files use `__FILE_H__`, others use `FILE_H_`, etc.).
- Reduces boilerplate (three lines replaced by one).
- Avoids polluting the macro namespace with guard symbols.
- Can improve build times as the preprocessor can skip re-opening the
  file entirely, rather than re-reading it to find the matching
  `#endif` ("multiple-include optimization").
  - Note that some compilers may already optimize traditional include
    guards, by recognzining the idiomatic pattern.

This change is made acknowledging that overall portability of the
code will technically be reduced, as `#pragma once` is not part of the
C/C++ standards.

However, this is considered acceptable given:

1. edk2 already defines a subset of supported compilers in
   BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template, all of which have supported
   `#pragma once` for over two decades.
2. There have been concerns raised to the project about inconsistent
   include guard naming and potential macro collisions.

Approximate compiler support dates:

- MSVC: Supported since Visual C++ 4.2 (1996)
- GCC: Supported since 3.4 (2004)
  (http://gnu.ist.utl.pt/software/gcc/gcc-3.4/changes.html)
- Clang (LLVM based): Since initial release in 2007

<title>MdePkg/SynchronizationLib: fix Interlocked[De|In]crement return value</title>

Today's InterlockedIncrement()/InterlockedDecrement() guarantees to
perform atomic increment/decrement but doesn't guarantee the return
value equals to the new value.

The patch fixes the behavior to use "XADD" instruction to guarantee
the return value equals to the new value.

The patch calls intrinsic functions for MSVC tool chain, calls the
NASM implementation for INTEL tool chain and calls GCC inline
assembly implementation (GccInline.c) for GCC tool chain.

<content type='text'>
From Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, one lock
or semaphore is suggested to be present within a cache line. If the processors
are based on Intel NetBurst microarchitecture, two cache lines are suggested.
This could minimize the bus traffic required to service locks.
