I think the original commit message does make sense. Without the patch, GetProcessorNumber() may call GetApicId() up to TotalProcessorNumber times. With the patch, even if we skip the stack range search, GetProcessorNumber() will call GetApicId() just once.

This seems to justify the ">" relational operator, in the first subcondition; OK. However, what guarantees that the TotalProcessorNumber local variable is not located exactly at the (inclusive) base of the AP stack? IOW, why is "<" correct, in the second subcondition, rather than "<="? (2) I'm generally unhappy about taking the address of local variables, in order to determine stack location in C language. Instead, I think we should have AsmReadEsp() / AsmReadRsp() functions -- we used to have AsmReadSp() for Itanium. Please see the following sub-thread, where Jordan originally suggested AsmReadEsp() / AsmReadRsp(): http://mid.mail-archive.com/151056410867.15809.659701894226687543@jljusten-skl http://mid.mail-archive.com/151059627258.20614.16505766191415005802@jljusten-skl Should I file a Feature Request for BaseLib, about adding AsmReadEsp() / AsmReadRsp()? I'm not suggesting that we block this patch with that feature request, but perhaps we should block the *next* patch. For the present patch, I'll follow up with test results separately.
