# This file is used to document mismatches between Intel Platform Innovation Framework specification
# (http://www.intel.com/technology/framework/spec.htm) and data structures defind at IntelFrameworkPkg
# package in EdkII Open Source Project (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/IntelFrameworkPkg)
##
##
# The general consideration about keeping the mismatches in EdkII:
# 1. Some definitions defined in Framework specification may bring a little complexity on implementation. EdkII
# makes changes on them from the view of code development.
# 2. Some definitions are NOT defined in Framework specification, but introduced in Edk. EdkII chooses to keep
# them for backward-compatibility.
# 3. The name of some definitions are NOT consistent with Framework specification. If the name doesn't bring
# misunderstanding literally, EdkII chooses to keep them for backward-compatibility.
# 4. Some defintitions don't exactly match Framework specification, some new field members are introduced in EdkII
# to reflect the latest industry standard.
#
# Note:
# The IntelFrameworkPkg contains Framework specification contents that were not adopted by UEFI/PI, and names may be
# changed (such as adding "FRAMEWORK_") to avoid name collisions with approved UEFI/PI specifications.

# Mismatch with Intel Platform Innovation Framework for DataHubSubclass Specification (Version 0.90)
##
1. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
#define EFI_STRING_TOKEN UINT16
This macro named "EFI_STRING_TOKEN" is *NOT* defined in Framework specification. Keeping this inconsistency
for backward compatibility.
2. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
#pragma pack(1)
typedef struct {
UINT8 LastPciBus;
} EFI_MISC_LAST_PCI_BUS_DATA;
...
typedef struct {
EFI_SUBCLASS_TYPE1_HEADER Header;
EFI_MISC_SUBCLASS_RECORDS Record;
} EFI_MISC_SUBCLASS_DRIVER_DATA;
#pragma pack()
Section "Alignment" in DataHubSubclass specification say "Fields in a data hub record should be aligned at their
natural boundaries". But in EdkII, the data structures above are packed.
Keeping this inconsistency for backward compatibility.
3. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
#define EFI_SUBCLASS_INSTANCE_RESERVED 0
#define EFI_SUBCLASS_INSTANCE_NON_APPLICABLE 0xFFFF
The symbols above are *NOT* defined in DataHubSubclass specification. But the values are defined and are meaningful.
According to DataHubSubclass spec, value 0 means Reserved and -1 means Not Applicable. EdkII introduces these macros
to faciliate user development.
##
# Mismatch with Intel Platform Innovation Framework for CacheSubclass Specification (Version 0.90)
##
1. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
typedef EFI_EXP_BASE2_DATA EFI_MAXIMUM_CACHE_SIZE_DATA;
The definition named "EFI_MAXIMUM_CACHE_SIZE_DATA" is *NOT* consistent with CacheSubclass specification, in which
the name should be EFI_CACHE_MAXIMUM_SIZE_DATA. Keeping this inconsistency for backward compatibility.
2. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
typedef struct {
UINT32 Level :3;
UINT32 Socketed :1;
UINT32 Reserved2 :1;
UINT32 Location :2;
UINT32 Enable :1;
UINT32 OperationalMode :2;
UINT32 Reserved1 :22;
} EFI_CACHE_CONFIGURATION_DATA;
The field type of the definition is *NOT* consistent with CacheSubclass specification. Specification defines
them as UINT16, which is incorrect and should be UINT32 because the total width of bit-fields is 32bits width.
3. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
typedef enum {

CacheErrorTypeRecordType = 7,
CacheTypeRecordType = 8,
CacheAssociativityRecordType = 9,
CacheConfigRecordType = 10
} EFI_CACHE_VARIABLE_RECORD_TYPE;
The data structure and all enumeration fields are *NOT* defined in CacheSubclass specification, which only
defines the following macros to specify the record number of the data record:
#define EFI_CACHE_SIZE_RECORD_NUMBER 0x00000001
#define EFI_CACHE_MAXIMUM_SIZE_RECORD_NUMBER 0x00000002
#define EFI_CACHE_SPEED_RECORD_NUMBER 0x00000003

#define EFI_CACHE_ASSOCIATIVITY_RECORD_NUMBER 0x00000009
#define EFI_CACHE_CONFIGURATION_RECORD_NUMBER 0x0000000A
Keeping this inconsistency for backward compatibility.
4. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
typedef union {
EFI_CACHE_SIZE_DATA CacheSize;
...
EFI_CACHE_ASSOCIATION_DATA CacheAssociation;
} EFI_CACHE_VARIABLE_RECORD;
typedef struct {
EFI_SUBCLASS_TYPE1_HEADER DataRecordHeader;
EFI_CACHE_VARIABLE_RECORD VariableRecord;
} EFI_CACHE_DATA_RECORD;
The definitions above are *NOT* defined in CacheSubclass specification. EdkII introduces them to simplify the
code logic. Therefore developer doesn't need to allocate memory dynamically to construct variable length data record.
Keeping this inconsistency for backward compatibility.

# Mismatch with Intel Platform Innovation Framework for ProcSubclass Specification (Version 0.90)
##
1. Guid/DataHubRecords.h
#define EFI_PROCESSOR_SUBCLASS_VERSION 0x00010000

a. In ProcSubclass specification 0.9, the field name whose value equals to 0x58 is "EfiProcessorFamilyUltraSparcIIi".
Due to the name has been defined in previous field, changing it to "EfiProcessorFamilyUltraSparcIIIi" to avoid
