/** @file
When installed, the MP Services Protocol produces a collection of services
that are needed for MP management.
The MP Services Protocol provides a generalized way of performing following tasks:
- Retrieving information of multi-processor environment and MP-related status of
specific processors.
- Dispatching user-provided function to APs.
- Maintain MP-related processor status.
The MP Services Protocol must be produced on any system with more than one logical
processor.
The Protocol is available only during boot time.
MP Services Protocol is hardware-independent. Most of the logic of this protocol
is architecturally neutral. It abstracts the multi-processor environment and
status of processors, and provides interfaces to retrieve information, maintain,
and dispatch.
MP Services Protocol may be consumed by ACPI module. The ACPI module may use this
protocol to retrieve data that are needed for an MP platform and report them to OS.
MP Services Protocol may also be used to program and configure processors, such
as MTRR synchronization for memory space attributes setting in DXE Services.
MP Services Protocol may be used by non-CPU DXE drivers to speed up platform boot
by taking advantage of the processing capabilities of the APs, for example, using
APs to help test system memory in parallel with other device initialization.
Diagnostics applications may also use this protocol for multi-processor.

This service executes a caller provided function on all enabled APs. APs can
run either simultaneously or one at a time in sequence. This service supports
both blocking and non-blocking requests. The non-blocking requests use EFI
events so the BSP can detect when the APs have finished. This service may only
be called from the BSP.
This function is used to dispatch all the enabled APs to the function specified
by Procedure. If any enabled AP is busy, then EFI_NOT_READY is returned
immediately and Procedure is not started on any AP.
If SingleThread is TRUE, all the enabled APs execute the function specified by
Procedure one by one, in ascending order of processor handle number. Otherwise,
all the enabled APs execute the function specified by Procedure simultaneously.
If WaitEvent is NULL, execution is in blocking mode. The BSP waits until all
APs finish or TimeoutInMicroSecs expires. Otherwise, execution is in non-blocking
mode, and the BSP returns from this service without waiting for APs. If a
non-blocking mode is requested after the UEFI Event EFI_EVENT_GROUP_READY_TO_BOOT
is signaled, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED must be returned.
If the timeout specified by TimeoutInMicroseconds expires before all APs return
from Procedure, then Procedure on the failed APs is terminated. All enabled APs
are always available for further calls to EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupAllAPs()
and EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupThisAP(). If FailedCpuList is not NULL, its
content points to the list of processor handle numbers in which Procedure was
terminated.
Note: It is the responsibility of the consumer of the EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupAllAPs()
to make sure that the nature of the code that is executed on the BSP and the
dispatched APs is well controlled. The MP Services Protocol does not guarantee
that the Procedure function is MP-safe. Hence, the tasks that can be run in
parallel are limited to certain independent tasks and well-controlled exclusive
code. EFI services and protocols may not be called by APs unless otherwise
specified.
In blocking execution mode, BSP waits until all APs finish or
TimeoutInMicroSeconds expires.
In non-blocking execution mode, BSP is freed to return to the caller and then
proceed to the next task without having to wait for APs. The following
sequence needs to occur in a non-blocking execution mode:
-# The caller that intends to use this MP Services Protocol in non-blocking
mode creates WaitEvent by calling the EFI CreateEvent() service. The caller
invokes EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupAllAPs(). If the parameter WaitEvent
is not NULL, then StartupAllAPs() executes in non-blocking mode. It requests
the function specified by Procedure to be started on all the enabled APs,
and releases the BSP to continue with other tasks.
-# The caller can use the CheckEvent() and WaitForEvent() services to check
the state of the WaitEvent created in step 1.
-# When the APs complete their task or TimeoutInMicroSecondss expires, the MP
Service signals WaitEvent by calling the EFI SignalEvent() function. If
FailedCpuList is not NULL, its content is available when WaitEvent is
signaled. If all APs returned from Procedure prior to the timeout, then
FailedCpuList is set to NULL. If not all APs return from Procedure before
the timeout, then FailedCpuList is filled in with the list of the failed
APs. The buffer is allocated by MP Service Protocol using AllocatePool().
It is the caller's responsibility to free the buffer with FreePool() service.
-# This invocation of SignalEvent() function informs the caller that invoked
EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupAllAPs() that either all the APs completed
the specified task or a timeout occurred. The contents of FailedCpuList
can be examined to determine which APs did not complete the specified task
prior to the timeout.
@param[in] This A pointer to the EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL
instance.
@param[in] Procedure A pointer to the function to be run on
enabled APs of the system. See type
EFI_AP_PROCEDURE.
@param[in] SingleThread If TRUE, then all the enabled APs execute
the function specified by Procedure one by
one, in ascending order of processor handle
number. If FALSE, then all the enabled APs
execute the function specified by Procedure
simultaneously.
@param[in] WaitEvent The event created by the caller with CreateEvent()
service. If it is NULL, then execute in
blocking mode. BSP waits until all APs finish
or TimeoutInMicroSeconds expires. If it's
not NULL, then execute in non-blocking mode.
BSP requests the function specified by
Procedure to be started on all the enabled
APs, and go on executing immediately. If
all return from Procedure, or TimeoutInMicroSeconds
expires, this event is signaled. The BSP
can use the CheckEvent() or WaitForEvent()
services to check the state of event. Type
EFI_EVENT is defined in CreateEvent() in
the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
Specification.
@param[in] TimeoutInMicrosecsond Indicates the time limit in microseconds for
APs to return from Procedure, either for
blocking or non-blocking mode. Zero means
infinity. If the timeout expires before
all APs return from Procedure, then Procedure
on the failed APs is terminated. All enabled
APs are available for next function assigned
by EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupAllAPs()
or EFI_MP_SERVICES_PROTOCOL.StartupThisAP().
If the timeout expires in blocking mode,
BSP returns EFI_TIMEOUT. If the timeout
expires in non-blocking mode, WaitEvent
is signaled with SignalEvent().
@param[in] ProcedureArgument The parameter passed into Procedure for
all APs.
@param[out] FailedCpuList If NULL, this parameter is ignored. Otherwise,
if all APs finish successfully, then its
content is set to NULL. If not all APs
finish before timeout expires, then its
content is set to address of the buffer
holding handle numbers of the failed APs.
The buffer is allocated by MP Service Protocol,
and it's the caller's responsibility to
free the buffer with FreePool() service.
In blocking mode, it is ready for consumption
when the call returns. In non-blocking mode,
it is ready when WaitEvent is signaled. The
list of failed CPU is terminated by
END_OF_CPU_LIST.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS In blocking mode, all APs have finished before
the timeout expired.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS In non-blocking mode, function has been dispatched
to all enabled APs.
@retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED A non-blocking mode request was made after the
UEFI event EFI_EVENT_GROUP_READY_TO_BOOT was
signaled.

@retval EFI_NOT_STARTED No enabled APs exist in the system.
