/** @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.

                                      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

  @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] Finished                If NULL, this parameter is ignored.  In 
                                      blocking mode, this parameter is ignored.
                                      In non-blocking mode, if AP returns from 
                                      Procedure before the timeout expires, its
                                      content is set to TRUE. Otherwise, the 
                                      value is set to FALSE. The caller can
                                      determine if the AP returned from Procedure 
                                      by evaluating this value.

  @retval EFI_SUCCESS             In blocking mode, specified AP finished before 
                                  the timeout expires.
