⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • patina\_dxe\_core: Enable Null Pointer Detection @os-d (#590)
    Change Details
      ## Description

    This commit disallows allocating page 0 in order to leave it unmapped to detect null pointers dereferencing. This also ensured that when EFI_MEMORY_RP is applied via set_memory_space_attributes, that Patina DXE Core will unmap the region, not simply attempt to apply the attribute.

    While changing the allocation code, this also changes the parameter name of alignment -> align_shift, except in PI spec defined APIs, as that better reflects the usage of that parameter.

    How This Was Tested

    Tested with unit tests, booting Q35 and SBSA to Windows/Linux, and breaking in late in boot and confirming page 0 is unmapped.

    Integration Instructions

    Page 0 cannot be allocated at address or in pre-DXE.
