Bugzilla List
Update Notes
- MdeModulePkg VariableSmmRuntimeDxe.inf depends on library class MmUnblockMemoryLib. Platforms supporting variable service through SMM should configure platform DSC in [LibraryClasses]
MmUnblockMemoryLib|MdePkg/Library/MmUnblockMemoryLib/MmUnblockMemoryLibNull.inf - SecurityPkg Tcg2Smm is split into 2 drivers: Tcg2Smm and Tcg2Acpi. Platforms supporting TCG2 Physical Presence and Memory Clear through ACPI method should add a new entry in [Components] section of platform DSC as well as the corresponding FV section in platform FDF
SecurityPkg/Tcg/Tcg2Acpi/Tcg2Acpi.inf - Platform DSC needs to include
MdePkg/MdeLibs.dsc.incfor the required library instance.

Bugzilla List
Update Notes
- If the user has the windows bat script that calls Split in it，it needs to change to "call Split" because Split will be a bat script but not an executable file.
- Shell depends on library class OrderedCollectionLib. Platform DSC needs to configure it in [LibraryClasses]
OrderedCollectionLib|MdePkg/Library/BaseOrderedCollectionRedBlackTreeLib/BaseOrderedCollectionRedBlackTreeLib.inf - Some struct fields in SmBios.h have typos and get fixed in these code change 0db8, bd9d, e157. Details are listed below.
In structSMBIOS_TABLE_TYPE17:
FirwareVersion ==> FirmwareVersion
In structSMBIOS_TABLE_TYPE4:
ProcessorManufacture ==> ProcessorManufacturer
In structPROCESSOR_CHARACTERISTIC_FLAGS:
Processor64BitCapble ==> Processor64BitCapable
ProcessorEnhancedVirtulization ==> ProcessorEnhancedVirtualization
Processor128bitCapble ==> Processor128BitCapable
Platform code that uses those fields need modifications.
