Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Ard,

If the variable was not prepended with GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED, I would 
agree.

GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED for some compilers is not compatible with static.

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Gao, Liming]

Ard and Ersek:
  On VS, static may make debug become hard. And, STATIC + 
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED may failure on old VS before VS supports /Gw 
option. So, I don't add static here. 
  I would like to separate static usage topic. We could discuss more and 
summary the rule on how to use static in code. But for this build failure 
issue, I prefer to fix it with this solution first. Is it OK to you?

That doesn't quite ring a bell, but if that is the case, it deserves a mention.

Note that STATIC variables are also removed when unreferenced (but may
require a warning override like we have for GCC if it is only used
from DEBUG () code). In any case, polluting the global namespace in a
heterogeneous project like EDK2 is something that should only be done
with good reason IMO.

Well, the thing is, external linkage defeats optimizations in the
compiler, and also prevents it from emitting the variable into a
read-only section even if it would otherwise be able to infer from the
usage that the variable is never modified.

I agree with you (of course), but Mike explained earlier (if I recall
correctly -- and perhaps you remember too) that giving internal linkage
to global variables (i.e., making them STATIC) messes either with
debuggability under VS, or else defeats "GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED".
(I'm not sure which one of the two.)

So, I've settled on considering "extern by default" just another
peculiarity of edk2. *shrug* I'm just glad -fno-common catches bugs like
this!

(Obviously I'm not trying to dismiss your objection at all! Just stating
my view. If the patch is changed to STATIC, I'll R-b that version *more

No, the fix is to make it STATIC unless it *needs* to be a global.
Is that the case here?

The same issue is reported again by GCC. Resend this patch again.
This patch renames the duplicated function name to fix it.

The SecPeiDebugAgentLib uses the global variable
mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList for a PPI notification on
the Memory Discovered PPI.  This same variable name is
used in the DxeIplPeim for the same PPI notification.

The XCODE5 tool chain detects this duplicate symbol
when the OVMF platform is built with the flag
-D SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE.

The fix is to rename this global variable in the
SecPeiDebugAgentLib library.

As has been pointed out already in this thread (by Laszlo, I think),
STATIC may trigger 'unused symbol' warnings that break the build under
our warnings-as-errors policy, since the compiler can infer that no
external references exist. So while STATIC is absolutely the way
forward, #define'ing it in a way that affects existing code is likely
to cause problems.

Felix,

Yes.  I agree.  I will work on a Bugzilla issue for this topic
and I prefer the idea of updating Base.h to check _MSC_VER value.

The one challenge is that 'static' could be added in front of
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED, and it will build correctly with
VS2012 and newer, but would fail with older VS versions that 
require __declspec(selectany) for size optimization.

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Felix Poludov]

Another option to support older VS tool chains is to define 
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED as __declspec(selectany) only for these tool 
chains.
One way to do it is to use _MSC_VER macro:
#if _MSC_VER < 
#define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED __declspec(selectany)
#endif

Alternatively GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED can be defined for specific tool 
chains in the tools_def.txt using /D compiler switch.

Mike:
  Yes. /Gw option is added since VS2013. The older VS version can't use this 
option. I suggest we always define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED as empty, and 
drop this size optimization for the older version MS compiler. I collect its 
size of OvmfIa32X64 DEBUG tip with VS2015 tool chain on. After define it as 
empty, DXE Raw size increases ~55K, but PEI raw size and the compressed size 
doesn't increase big.

OK, how about this:

- MSFT toolchains: do the two step linking that Mike described, but only
  for NOOPT (assuming that is possible). The user would have to pay for
  the collision detection with CPU time, but not with an exorbitant size
  increase. I think that's a better trade-off than finishing quickly but
  potentially not fitting into the firmware image. (You generally pick
  NOOPT for debugging, so you certainly wish to *run* the image.) DEBUG
  and RELEASE targets wouldn't be changed.

- GCC toolchains: I think I'd like --whole-archive to become the default
  (regardless of build target), since there don't seem to be any
  relevant size costs to it.

Laszlo

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

Mike:
  Yes. /Gw option is added since VS2013. The older VS version can't use this 
option. I suggest we always define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED as empty, and 
drop this size optimization for the older version MS compiler. I collect its 
size of OvmfIa32X64 DEBUG tip with VS2015 tool chain on. After define it as 
empty, DXE Raw size increases ~55K, but PEI raw size and the compressed size 
doesn't increase big.

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Liming,

I agree with /Gw.  That works for newer versions of VS.  We will
need to adjust the behavior of GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED based
on VS version as well.

We can not define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED to static.  We also
use this macro for globals that are required to be exported from
a library.  So static should be added to the globals that are not
exported.

The challenge is that older versions of VS require 
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED to be mapped to __declspec(selectany)
and static can not be combined with __declspec(selectany).

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Gao, Liming]

Mike:
  I think build performance is also a key point. I prefer to add this option in 
NOOPT target. After add this option, we can build edk2 packages to detect those 
duplicated issues.

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Laszlo,

The other idea I have is for MSFT tool chains to do the DLINK step twice.  Once
with /WHOLEARCHIVE set to a .dll that is not used in later steps, but the doing 
the DLINK action detects duplicate symbols.

If the first DLINK step passes, then so a second DLINK step to a .dll without 
/WHOLEARCHIVE set and use this .dll to produce the .efi file that goes into the 
FW image.

This 2 step link process would have the side effect of potentially increasing 
build times, but could be done for specific tool chain families in 
build_rules.txt.

The first DLINK step could also disable a lot of the optimizations that take 
longer since the goal of this step is only to detect a duplicate symbol.

Best regards,

Mike

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Andrew,

The VS compilers available when GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED was added 
referred to __declspec( selectany ) as putting the symbol into its own comdat, 
so it was then available to be optimized away with the use of OPT:REF.

I think it is time to re-evaluate the VS optimizers to see if they can optimize 
away global variables without being decorated with__declspec( selectany ).  If 
we can remove __declspec( selectany ), then we have a path to use STATIC 
properly to hide global variables that are not declared as extern in the 
library class.

I will investigate some more.

Mike

Laszlo and Andrew,

With the information that has been collected on this thread, I
still think this patch in its original form is a good change
to resolve the this one specific duplicate symbol issue for all
tool chains.  'static' can not be mixed with
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED for MSFT tool chains, so renaming
the global variable is the easiest way to remove the duplicate.

GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED itself is problematic imo. I think it
was Felix who reported on this recently?

STATIC is really the only sensible way to deal with this for symbols
that are only referenced by a single compilation unit.


I will continue to work on ways to detect duplicate symbols for
all tool chains and will enter a Bugzilla issue to for that
feature.

In addition, the idea of detecting if a library is exporting more
than the library class defines is another good feature to consider
and I will enter a Bugzilla issue for that one as well.

If we can find ways to both restrict the symbols exported by a
library and strip all symbols that are unused, then we can have
additional Bugzilla issues to perform that clean up on each
library instance that is exporting more than the library class.

A static library is nothing more than an archive containing a
collection of object files. Sadly, that implies that we cannot
distinguish between symbols that may only be referenced by other
objects in the same static library and symbols that are exported to
the library client.

Do we know for a fact that, with /OPT:REF, VS does not strip unused
*static* variables and functions?

I mean, is it certain that *replacing* GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED
with STATIC in this case would lead to a size increase?

If that's the case, then I'm fine if we go ahead with this patch, I'd
just like to request that Mike please file some of those BZs, and please
reference them from the commit message (as the longer term solution),
before committing the patch.

Clang will warn if you have unused static variables when warnings are cranked 
up.

~/work/Compiler>cat static.c
static unsigned char gTest[] = { 42 };

static int test ()
{
 return 1;
}

int main ()
{
 return 0;
}
~/work/Compiler>clang -Os static.c -Wall
static.c:1:22: warning: unused variable 'gTest' [-Wunused-variable]
static unsigned char gTest[] = { 42 };
^
static.c:3:12: warning: unused function 'test' [-Wunused-function]
static int test ()
  ^
2 warnings generated.

Sorry, my question was imprecise.

Assume there is a public library function ("external linkage") that
calls a static function in the same library instance and uses a static
variable in the same library instance. Then this library instance is
linked into a driver, but the driver never actually calls the extern
function -- so the static variable and the static function too become
useless.

In this case, will /OPT:REF remove the static variable and the static
function too?

It seems counter-intuitive to me that an internal-only function or an
internal-only variable has to be declared extern (via
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED) just so it can be eliminated at link
time, if it is never referenced (transitively).


Laszlo,

I agree. The LLVM LTO does not have an issue "doing the right thing". Seems

optimization) kind of thing?

Laszlo,

I agree. The LLVM LTO does not have an issue "doing the right thing". Seems 
like static is also more of a compile time concept vs a link time (global 
optimization) kind of thing? 

Given on VC++ GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED maps to __declspec( selectany ) I 
would guess maybe it has more to due with supporting old non standard header 
files that can't change without breaking compatibility. 

MSDN on __declspec( selectany ) :
A global data item can normally be initialized only once in an EXE or DLL 
project. selectany can be used in initializing global data defined by headers, 
when the same header appears in more than one source file. selectany is 
available in both the C and C++ compilers.

Andrew Fish

Thank you (again) for the research! Looks like the gcc size impact is
friendly enough to keep --whole-archive enabled at all times (possibly
due to the --gc-sections flag mentioned by Ard, which we already have
enabled).

The VS2015 impact is really large however.

I was hoping we could add these flags to
"BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template", regardless of platform DSC. (If the
flag is non-default, and/or it's platform-dependent, then it will almost
never be used, most likely.) But the VS2015 size increase really
precludes /WHOLEARCHIVE (for the MSFT family) from "tools_def.template".

Would it be acceptable to add --whole-archive to "tools_def.template"
only for GCC? After all, at the moment only XCODE*/XCLANG have "-all_load".

Thanks,
Laszlo

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Laszlo and Andrew,

With the information that has been collected on this thread, I
still think this patch in its original form is a good change
to resolve the this one specific duplicate symbol issue for all
tool chains.  'static' can not be mixed with
GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED for MSFT tool chains, so renaming
the global variable is the easiest way to remove the duplicate.

I will continue to work on ways to detect duplicate symbols for
all tool chains and will enter a Bugzilla issue to for that
feature.

In addition, the idea of detecting if a library is exporting more
than the library class defines is another good feature to consider
and I will enter a Bugzilla issue for that one as well.

If we can find ways to both restrict the symbols exported by a
library and strip all symbols that are unused, then we can have
additional Bugzilla issues to perform that clean up on each 
library instance that is exporting more than the library class.

Thanks,

Mike

Good point! (... After I read this option's description too, in the "ld"
manual.) This ELF and PE/COFF stuff is way too complex for my taste. :/

For tool chains that do have size impacts, one option is to
have a "test" build that enables the linker flags to detect
duplicate symbols.  For example the following could be added
to a DSC file.  May want to disable GenFds stage when doing
this type of build.

[BuildOptions]
!ifdef $(DETECT_DUPLICATE_SYMBOLS)
  MSFT:*_VS2015_*_DLINK_FLAGS = /WHOLEARCHIVE
!endif

Great find! That's the error message we should get.

Unfortunately, after reading the "ld" manual on "--whole-archive", it
seems that the complete object files will actually be copied into the
resultant binary, even if several of their symbols will remain unused. I
think that's quite sub-optimal. (I haven't verified this though.) What
we'd like to get is (a) the full verification at link time, and (b)
inclusion of *only* those symbols that are actually necessary.

In your testing, when you build OVMF with and without "--whole-archive",
do you see a difference in, say, the DXEFV footprint, when the build
completes?

(If so, then I wonder if we should add "--whole-archive" only to the
NOOPT build... Not sure.)

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Laszlo,

I think the equivalent flag for GCC builds is --whole-archive.

I tried adding that flag to DLINK_FLAGS in GCC5, and I get the 
following error building OVMF from edk2/master with 
-D SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE set.

DxeLoad.obj (symbol from plugin): In function `InstallIplPermanentMemoryPpis':
(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList'
SecPeiDebugAgentLib.obj (symbol from plugin):(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 has also added a new linker flag called
/WHOLEARCHIVE.  I am working on evaluating that flag to see if it 
catches the same issue.

Not to mention I was told by the Xcode linker developer that -all_load was 
required to ensure in all cases the Mach-O produced would be compatible with 
conversion to PE/COFF.

Please don't remove -all_load from there; instead we should figure out
if the same can be brought to MSFT and GCC.

The error message that XCODE5 emitted caught a real bug (undefined
behavior according to ISO C, see my previous email), and so we should
keep that detection enabled (we should even extend it to other
toolchains, if that's possible).

As for docs, I found this:

Thank you for the thorough investigation. I agree that keeping the name
change *and* adding STATIC is the best combination.

Consider "MdeModulePkg/Core/DxeIplPeim/DxeLoad.c":

(a) This variable has external linkage. From ISO C99, "6.2.2 Linkages of
identifiers":

> 5 [...] If the declaration of an identifier for an object has file
>   scope and no storage-class specifier, its linkage is external.

(b) This variable has static storage duration. From ISO C99, "6.2.4

(c) The quoted declaration is an external definition of
"mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList". From ISO C99, "6.9.2 External object
definitions":

The exact same statements can be made about
"SourceLevelDebugPkg/Library/DebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgentLib.c":

> GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED EFI_PEI_NOTIFY_DESCRIPTOR

(I see "GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED", but with GCC, that expands to
nothing.)

So, we have two external definitions for "mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList".
(It's especially funny because even their types don't match.)

This is what ISO C99, "6.9 External definitions" says:

Given that we use "mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList" in two expressions,
namely:

* "MdeModulePkg/Core/DxeIplPeim/DxeLoad.c":

* 
"SourceLevelDebugPkg/Library/DebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgentLib.c"

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Andrew,

I think I have found an alternate fix for this XCODE5 specific
build failure.  Since there appears to be a difference in the 
linker behavior between MSFT/GCC/XCODE tool chains, I reviewed 
the 'ld' command line options used in XCODE5 tool chain in
tools_def.txt.

There is a flag set call '-all_load'.  The description of this
flag is 'Loads all members of static archive libraries.'.

I tried removing this flag from the XCODE5 specific SLINK_FLAGS
and DLINK_FLAGS statements in tools_def.txt, and the duplicate
symbol build failure is no longer present.  I am able to build
and boot OVMF with XCODE5 with -D SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE flag set.

This seems to make XCODE5 linker behavior match the MSFT and GCC
linker behavior.

Do you know why '-all_load' is used in XCODE5 and what impacts
there may be from removing it?

Best regards,

Mike

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Ard,

I agree that it would be good practice for a library instance to 
only have the public interfaces(functions/data) that are declared
in the library class .h file.

I would be useful to have a report that showed the extra interfaces.

One additional constraint I just found with the MSFT tool chains 
involves the GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED.  This macro can not be
combined with static.  So the recommendation in the thread to add
static to mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList in SecPeiDebugAgentLib
breaks the build.

d:\work\github\tianocore\edk2\SourceLevelDebugPkg\Library\DebugAgent\SecPeiDebugAgent\SecPeiDebugAgentLib.c(35):
 error C2496: 'mDebugAgentMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList': 'selectany' can only be 
applied to data items with external linkage

The MSFT tool chains depend on the following #define in order for
The optimizer to remove global variables that are not used.  This
is a valuable size optimization for libraries that may be sparsely 
used by modules.

  #define GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED __declspec(selectany)

It does not need to filter out what it never considered for inclusion
in the first place. That is why it is called a library: only objects
that satisfy some as yet unresolved symbol reference will get pulled
in.

Require no *externally visible* duplicates at all. That is really the
only scaleable solution. Libraries declare their externally visible
symbols in their .h file, and ideally, nothing else should be exposed.
I know this is infeasible in the general case, due to the fact that
libraries typically  consist of several objects, but it should be the
goal not to export anything if we can avoid it. Note that this applies
to functions as well as variables

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Laszlo,

I agree with the request to add 'static' to the variable declaration
in the SecPeiDebugAgentLib.  The variable name change will be retained
because the same symbol name can still be confusing when debugging.

The part that is more concerning is why this duplicate symbol reference
was not triggered by MSFT or GCC tool chain families, so I did some
more investigation from the MSFT side this morning.

My first thought was that the optimizer in the compiler/linker was 
optimizing away the duplicate symbol before the final link stage,
so I tried -b NOOPT builds.  That also did not trigger a duplicate 
symbol error and the MAP file contains only the single reference to
_mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList from the DxeIpl.

  0002:01b8   _mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList 000164f8 
DxeIpl:DxeLoad.obj

I then evaluated what functions in the DebugAgentLib the DxeIpl
is using.  It turns out that it is only using a single function
SaveAndSetDebugTimerInterrupt() that is implemented in 

  SourceLevelDebugPkg\Library\DebugAgent\DebugAgentCommon\DebugAgent.c

The mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList duplicate symbol is implemented in

  SourceLevelDebugPkg\Library\DebugAgent\SecPeiDebugAgent\SecPeiDebugAgentLib.c

Even with a MSFT -b NOOPT build, when I look at the MAP file, the
linker only pulls in symbols from the obj in the DebugAgentLib that
contains the one SaveAndSetDebugTimerInterrupt() function.  The symbols
from the other objs in the DebugAgentLib are not included in the final
DxeIpl PE/COFF image.

  0001:81b0   _InitializeDebugTimer  8410 f   
SecPeiDebugAgentLib:DebugTimer.obj
  0001:8330   _IsDebugTimerTimeout   8590 f   
SecPeiDebugAgentLib:DebugTimer.obj
  0001:83d0   _SaveAndSetDebugTimerInterrupt 8630 f   
SecPeiDebugAgentLib:DebugTimer.obj

So it appears that even with -b NOOPT builds, the linker is 
filtering out unreferenced objs which explains why the duplicate
symbol error is not triggered.

The XCODE5 tool chain appears to be evaluating symbols
across all objs in a lib and detects a duplicate symbol.

The question is what is the required linker behavior for EDK II
builds?  Require library filtering at obj level, or require no
duplicates across all objs in all libs?

Best regards,

Mike

I strongly agree with Laszlo here. Omitting static defeats any kind of
optimization the compiler can perform when it knows it can see all
references to a variable, such as constant folding or emitting the
variable into .rodata if it does not observe any modifications to it.
In theory, this could have security implications as well as
performance implications (e.g., a variable which only gets set in
DEBUG builds)

Yes, but given that they are part of a static library, objects are
only pulled in on-demand, and so if all references already happen to
be satisfied, the 'offending' object may never be loaded.

I think the default should be the reverse: give objects with static
storage duration ("global variables") internal linkage ("STATIC") by
default, and turn the linkage into external only if multiple source
files of the same module actually use the same object together. (In this
case the object will have to be declared in a module-internal header
file anyway.)

I grepped the tree for "mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList", and there are more
instances, all exhibiting the same issue:

(1) MdeModulePkg/Core/DxeIplPeim/DxeLoad.c
(2) QuarkPlatformPkg/Platform/Pei/PlatformInit/PlatformEarlyInit.c
(3) 
SourceLevelDebugPkg/Library/DebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgent/SecPeiDebugAgentLib.c
(4) Vlv2TbltDevicePkg/PlatformPei/Platform.c

In each of these source files, the "mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList"
variable
- has an initializer,
- is declared in file scope,
- has external linkage,
- has static storage duration,

thus the declaration qualifies as an "external definition" (of which
there may be at most one, for any given object, in the final linking).

In each of the four modules listed above, the
"mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList" variable is only used in the same source
file that declares / defines the variable. Thus, the variable should be
made "STATIC" in every one of them.

> Not sure why this issue has not been seen with other tool chains.

I think it is either a gcc or a BaseTools (toolchain config) bug.

Namely, we faced a similar issue before: please refer to commit
214a3b79417f ("BaseTools GCC: avoid the use of COMMON symbols",
2015-12-08). In that commit, we made sure that gcc wouldn't silently
merge multiple external definitions (because that violated ISO C and
caused actual runtime bugs). As a result, uninitialized globals were no
longer placed in the COMMON section, but in the data section, and
multiple external definitions triggered a link editing error.

However, in this case we have initialized global variables, which are
*already* placed in the data section. I just built OVMF with
SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE, and verified the following:

(a)

>  D mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList

The "D" mark means:
- "D" / "d": The symbol is in the initialized data section.
- uppercase: the symbol is global (external)

In other words, linking these two object archives together should fail.

This means that the build process will link them together. Indeed I can
find the following *successful* command in the build log (see the
reference to the above "static_library_files.lst" object list file):

Subject: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate 
symbol

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573

The SecPeiDebugAgentLib uses the global variable mMemoryDiscoveredNotifyList 
for a PPI notification on the Memory Discovered PPI.  This same variable name 
is used in the DxeIplPeim for the same PPI notification.

The XCODE5 tool chain detects this duplicate symbol when the OVMF platform is 
built with the flag -D SOURCE_DEBUG_ENABLE.

The fix is to rename this global variable in the SecPeiDebugAgentLib library.

Re: [edk2] [Patch] SourceLevelDebugPkg/SecPeiDebugAgentLib: Fix duplicate symbol

[Kinney, Michael D]

Andrew,

I agree in this specific case, making the global variable static
should also resolve this issue.

In general, we do not make module global variables static, so the 
module global can be shared across multiple source files in the 
module implementation.

Not sure why this issue has not been seen with other tool chains.

Do the other compilers promote (or is that demote) to static? Would not making
