Maurice,
It’s doable
I prefer to accept today’s below 4G limitation to maintain simple
implementation.
Thanks,

Could we decouple BSP and AP GDT in early waking up stage ?
For example, AP uses temporary GDT (below 4GB) just for mode switching. Once
AP is in the final stage, AP can reload GDT to match BSP

“But we could allocate room under 4G for GDT table directly in CpuDxe.”
The GDT pre-allocated is re-used by AP. Why do you suggest CpuDxe allocate GDT?

Ray,
Yes. You are right. Acutally, x64 IDT table cannot work correctly on protected
mode. :-)
But for GDT

we will save the current BSP's GDT and IDT for APs at first time APs are waken
by BSP as below. APs will start from real mode to protected mode and then to
long mode. During

Hi, Ray and Eric,
Is there any reason why the GDT base was typecast to UINT32 in CpuDxe driver ?

Previous it would hang in CpuDxe if DXE drivers are dispatched above 4GB.
Now remove the work around since the fixed in CpuDxe are merged.
