We are going to want to change the value of PcdFSBClock at run time in OvmfXen, so move it to the PcdsDynamic section.

…E_INFO We are going to use new fields from the Xen headers. Apply the EDK2 coding style so that the code that is going to use it doesn't look out of place.

We are going to use the page table structure in yet another place, collect the types and macro that can be used from another module rather than making yet another copy.

Some information available in a Xen guest can be mapped anywhere in the physical address space and they don't need to be backed by RAM. For example, the shared info page. While it's easier to put those pages anywhere, it is better to avoid mapping it where the RAM is. It might split a nice 1G guest page table into 4k pages and thus reducing performance of the guest when it accesses its memory. Also mapping a page like the shared info page and then unmapping it or mapping it somewhere else would leave a hole in the RAM that the guest would propably not be able to use anymore. So the patch introduces a new function which can be used to 1:1 mapping of guest physical memory above 4G during the PEI phase so we can map the Xen shared pages outside of memory that can be used by guest, and as high as possible.

Calculate the frequency of the APIC timer that Xen provides. Even though the frequency is currently hard-coded, it isn't part of the public ABI that Xen provides and thus may change at any time. OVMF needs to determine the frequency by an other mean. Fortunately, Xen provides a way to determines the frequency of the TSC, so we can use TSC to calibrate the frequency of the APIC timer. That information is found in the shared_info page which we map and unmap once done (XenBusDxe is going to map the page somewhere else). The shared_info page is mapped at the highest physical address allowed as it doesn't need to be in the RAM, thus there's a call to update the page table. The calculated frequency is only logged in this patch, it will be used in a following patch.

Update gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFSBClock so it can have the correct value when SecPeiDxeTimerLibCpu start to use it for the APIC timer. Currently, nothing appear to use the value in PcdFSBClock before XenPlatformPei had a chance to set it even though TimerLib is included in modules run before XenPlatformPei. XenPlatformPei doesn't use any of the functions that would use that value. No other modules in the PEI phase seems to use the TimerLib before PcdFSBClock is set. There are currently two other modules in the PEI phase that needs the TimerLib: - S3Resume2Pei, but only because LocalApicLib needs it, but nothing is using the value from PcdFSBClock. - CpuMpPei, but I believe it only runs after XenPlatformPei Before the PEI phase, there's the SEC phase, and SecMain needs TimerLib because of LocalApicLib. And it initialise the APIC timers for the debug agent. But I don't think any of the DebugLib that OvmfXen could use are actually using the *Delay functions in TimerLib, and so would not use the value from PcdFSBClock which would be uninitialised. A simple runtime test showed that TimerLib doesn't use PcdFSBClock value before it is set.
