# Preface
Please ensure you have read the contribution docs prior
to submitting the pull request. In particular,
pull request guidelines.Description
This change introduces a new message entry structure, which contains extra information of log producer and can be used to differentiate the different boot phases, i.e. PEI, DXE, SMM, etc. Platforms that have multiple firmware entities can leverage this extra information to distinguish coalesced memory logging regions.
The updated applications (UEFI shell app and host OS Python script) are also updated to support new message entry structure while maintaining the backwards compatibility.
Resolves #375.

How This Was Tested
This change was tested on QEMU Q35 and verified that prefix are properly injected for DXE phase prints.
Integration Instructions
The log parsers are updated, thus platforms use the existing parser should pick up the latest tool from mu_plus. For platforms that carry their own implementation, they should add the proper support in their own implementation before picking up this change from mu_plus.
