The proper solution for this kind of error is to make as many as possible
instances of "mExitBootServicesEvent" in edk2 STATIC.
See for example commit 7b13510f2a0a ("MdeModulePkg/BootMaintenanceManagerUiLib:
hide library-internal symbol", 2016-05-17).
In particular, this patch renames three instances of mExitBootServicesEvent,
but there are more:
-
IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Library/SmmRuntimeDxeReportStatusCodeLibFramework/SmmRuntimeDxeSupport.c
-
IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/DatahubStatusCodeHandlerDxe/DatahubStatusCodeHandlerDxe.c
- IntelFsp2WrapperPkg/FspWrapperNotifyDxe/FspWrapperNotifyDxe.c
-
MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/FirmwarePerformanceDataTableDxe/FirmwarePerformanceDxe.c
-
MdeModulePkg/Universal/StatusCodeHandler/RuntimeDxe/StatusCodeHandlerRuntimeDxe.c
Based on a brief investigation, it seems like the "STATIC" approach should work
for all 8 (eight) files above. But, minimally, STATIC should be employed with
library instances.
I seem to remember that there used to be debugging issues with Visual Studio if
global variables were made STATIC -- but I think that only applied to old (no
longer supported by edk2?) Visual Studio versions. If you can't use STATIC
here, please at least explain why, in the commit messages.
Thanks,
Laszlo
