Hi, Johnson:
Thanks a lot.

Usually stack locates on top of heap area,
After swapping stack and heap’s location, your method seems ok.

Thanks

I've never tried protecting the stack like this, so I'm not sure exactly what 
you're running in to.  The documentation says the base address is specified a 
bit differently for expand-down descriptors.  It needs to point to the page 
below the stack (lower addresses.)  The descriptors for the other segments 
would still need to cover the entire address space (limit 0xFFFF, 
page-granular, expand-up.)  And you'd need to use a different segment selector 
(and hence a different GDT entry) for the stack segment (ss register) than for 
the regular data segments.  Most of the early PEI code I've seen uses the same 
selector for ds, ef, fs, gs, and ss.

Hope that helps.  This is mostly theoretical.  I don't actually have a lot of 
experience with x86 segment programming.

Hi, Johnson:
Thanks for your reply!

I tried and found it seemed causing some other problems.

It hang in eary pei stage.

It seems below code could also cause an exception if using expand-down mode in 
CAR phase’s stack established.
mov eax, ss:[ebx]
 mov eax, [ebp]
  mov eax, [esp]

Thanks

You could also try modifying the Ia32 segment descriptors to mark the stack 
segment as an "expand down" type with a limit set just below the low end of the 
stack area.  That should generate a stack-fault exception if the stack 
overflows, and wouldn't require building page tables.  See sections 5.1 - 5.3 
of the Intel SDM, volume 3.

It’s doable.
You need to enable paging and mark the very low 4K area of the stack as 
not-present.
You could use the UefiCpuPkg/Library/CpuPageTableLib to help you create the 1:1 
page table with the specific
4K area as not-present (if you are using x86 processors).

Thanks,
Ray

Hi, Experts:
Usually, we use Cache As Ram to setup stack and heap for C language running 
environment before permanent memory has been initialized.

So, is there a method to guard this phase’s stack overflow?

Note:
I find udk has introduced a method to guard stack overflow after memory has 
been initialized and discovered.

Thanks
