UEFI specification v2.10 says that EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS is deprecated and EFI_UNSUPPORTED should be returned in SetVariable variable service. Current implementation returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER, let's fix the return value.

Together with above change, this commit also updates the SetVariable attribute check to be aligned with the EDK2 reference implementation.

Signed-off-by: Masahisa Kojima masahisa.kojima@linaro.org

Changes in v3:

• accept no access attribute for deletion

Changes in v2:

• fix coding style
• HR must be set with NV

The 2.10 spec say NV, BS, RT, HR. 8.2.8.2 Hardware Error Record Variables, p. 224

If we want to check HR variables, should RT be required too?

Current implementation(check HR and NV only) is aligned to EDK2 reference implementation, but there is no reason to blindly follow the EDK2. So we will add to check RT(and implicitly BS in this case) for HR variables.

UEFI specification v2.10 P.80 and P.82 says the "HwErrRecSupport" variable indicates whether the platform supports Hardware Error Record Persistence or not. We also need to check this variable existence and value.

Thanks, Masahisa Kojima

Best regards

Heinrich
