I think we should avoid the need for InMm() altogether for standalone MM. It will always return TRUE for standalone MM modules, and it will always return FALSE for other modules, so the distinction should be made at build time. This means that we need to refactor the SMM 'server' modules and/or libraries so that any code they cannot share (like boot services invocations) are only included in the classic SMM versions. I have pushed my own prototype code here: https://github.com/ardbiesheuvel/edk2/commits/standalone-mm There is some overlap with Jagadeesh's work. I will work with him directly to resolve this before posting any new revisions. _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
