Paging Audit: Update File Collection to Defer Free/Allocate Calls
Description While collecting platform paging and memory info, freeing and allocating memory will potentially changed the memory layout and corrupt the test results. Because allocating and freeing memory only transitions memory type between EfiConventionalMemory and EfiBootServicesMemory (which are required to have the same memory protection policy), this nuance didn't matter much. However, as the DXE core is updated to support more strict protections on free memory, this nuance will matter. This patch updates the data collection routines to calculate and allocate all required memory before fetching the memory map and collecting page table data. - [x] Impacts functionality? - **Functionality** - Does the change ultimately impact how firmware functions? - Examples: Add a new library, publish a new PPI, update an algorithm, ... - [ ] Impacts security? - **Security** - Does the change have a direct security impact on an application, flow, or firmware? - Examples: Crypto algorithm change, buffer overflow fix, parameter validation improvement, ... - [ ] Breaking change? - **Breaking change** - Will anyone consuming this change experience a break in build or boot behavior? - Examples: Add a new library class, move a module to a different repo, call a function in a new library class in a pre-existing module, ... - [x] Includes tests? - **Tests** - Does the change include any explicit test code? - Examples: Unit tests, integration tests, robot tests, ... - [ ] Includes documentation? - **Documentation** - Does the change contain explicit documentation additions outside direct code modifications (and comments)? - Examples: Update readme file, add feature readme file, link to documentation on an a separate Web page, ...
