Laszlo, I could revert this patch firstly. Could you please dig out the OVMF to address the potential issue, then I could re-commit it for those platforms required this patch.
Thanks!

From the OVMF log: Loading SMM driver at 0x0007FFDA000 EntryPoint=0x0007FFDA271 FvbServicesSmm.efi QEMU Flash: Attempting flash detection at FFE00010 QemuFlashDetected => FD behaves as ROM QemuFlashDetected => No ASSERT OvmfPkg/QemuFlashFvbServicesRuntimeDxe/QemuFlash.c(248): !_gPcd_FixedAtBuild_PcdSmmSmramRequire This symptom means that the SMM build of the QemuFlashFvbServicesRuntimeDxe driver is not actually running in SMM when it tries to access the pflash chip at startup. Therefore QEMU prevents the access, and then OVMF gives up. Here's the bisection log: git bisect start # good: [de74668f5ea713b7e91e01318f0d15d2bf0effce] MdeModulePkg/PeiCore: Fix ConverSinglePpiPointer () typo. git bisect good de74668f5ea713b7e91e01318f0d15d2bf0effce # bad: [7822a1d91d53e80525f571183a24d54488f5437f] NetworkPkg/IpSecDxe: Fix wrong IKE header "FLAG" update git bisect bad 7822a1d91d53e80525f571183a24d54488f5437f # good: [8a2d564b2a811b8dbc85f90e14a67ae4ade21201] UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Sort processor by ascending order of APIC ID git bisect good 8a2d564b2a811b8dbc85f90e14a67ae4ade21201 # good: [7fadaacd50d716e8e054a94c20db56cca98e961e] UefiCpuPkg/CpuDxe: Consume MpInitLib to produce CPU MP Protocol services git bisect good 7fadaacd50d716e8e054a94c20db56cca98e961e # bad: [a012df5ec643a0c08c2b723a02919a5c9373ca74] PcAtChipsetPkg AcpiTimerLib: Wait 363 ACPI timer counts to get TSC Freq git bisect bad a012df5ec643a0c08c2b723a02919a5c9373ca74 # good: [51d4779d7bfb74bfdbb0e196846de78567127348] MdePkg/MpService.h: Fixed typo in function header to match PI spec git bisect good 51d4779d7bfb74bfdbb0e196846de78567127348 # good: [f3b91fa04adea2389c5a6d0fbd9a584d149bae09] UefiCpuPkg/CpuDxe: Fixed typo in function header to match PI spec git bisect good f3b91fa04adea2389c5a6d0fbd9a584d149bae09 # bad: [7503cd70fb864a5663edb121c9b2488b4c69e7f5] UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Add gEfiVariableArchProtocolGuid dependency git bisect bad 7503cd70fb864a5663edb121c9b2488b4c69e7f5 # first bad commit: [7503cd70fb864a5663edb121c9b2488b4c69e7f5] UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Add gEfiVariableArchProtocolGuid dependency I see that this patch appeared in the final, v5 version of the series, as the last patch in the series. I never got around testing v5. I request that we please revert it for now, and then we investigate the problem. >From the time we worked on SMM enablement for OVMF, I recall that pulling in >the SMM variable driver stack was tricky.

I don't know why those depexes are not spelled out explicitly in those drivers, but at this point I think that the new DepEx on PiSmmCpuDxeSmm.inf upsets the dispatch order, and things break. I fully agree that this should hopefully be fixed by spelling out all DepExes explicitly everywhere, and I can also imagine it is actually a bug in OVMF somewhere, but for now, until we figure it out, can we please revert the patch? The commit carries Mike's Tested-by -- I wonder what the differences are between Mike's test platform and OVMF.
