OvmfPkg: simplify VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER generation
Before the merger of the authenticated and non-authenticated variable drivers (commit fa0737a), we had to match the varstore header GUID in "OvmfPkg/VarStore.fdf.inc" to SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE, because the opposite GUID would cause either driver to fail an assertion. The header structures for individual variables residing in the varstore were different (VARIABLE_HEADER vs. AUTHENTICATED_VARIABLE_HEADER), and each driver could only handle its own, so this GUID enforcement was necessary. Since the unification of the variable driver however, it treats (a) variable store format, and (b) AuthVariableLib instance as independent characteristics; it can always manipulate variable stores with both header types. All variations boot now; the difference is whether authenticated variables, and special variables computed from them (like SecureBoot) are supported at runtime: variable store non-auth auth and SB header GUID AuthVariableLib variables variables -- --------------------- ------------------- -> --------- ----------- 1 Variable SecurityPkg/... supported unsupported 2 Variable AuthVariableLibNull supported unsupported 3 AuthenticatedVariable SecurityPkg/... supported supported 4 AuthenticatedVariable AuthVariableLibNull supported unsupported At the moment, SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE selects between cases coconut-svsm#2 (FALSE) and coconut-svsm#3 (TRUE). That is, it controls both the varstore header GUID in "OvmfPkg/VarStore.fdf.inc", and the AuthVariableLib resolution in the DSC files. Exploiting the unified driver's flexibility, we can simplify "OvmfPkg/VarStore.fdf.inc" by picking the AuthenticatedVariable GUID as a constant, and letting SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE control only the AuthVariableLib resolution. This amounts to SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE choosing between cases coconut-svsm#3 (TRUE) and coconut-svsm#4 (FALSE), with identical results as before.
