EVT_TIMER

The event is a timer event and may be passed to

SetTimer()

.

Note that timers only function during boot services time.

EVT_RUNTIME

The event is allocated from runtime memory. If an event is to be
signaled after the call to

ExitBootServices()

, the event’s data

structure and notification function need to be allocated from runtime
memory. For more information, see

SetVirtualAddressMap()

in Chapter 6.

EVT_RUNTIME_CONTEXT

The event’s

NotifyContext

pointer points to a runtime memory

address. See the discussion of

EVT_RUNTIME

above.

EVT_NOTIFY_WAIT

The event’s

NotifyFunction

is to be invoked whenever the

event is being waited on via

WaitForEvent()

or

CheckEvent()

.

EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL

The event’s

NotifyFunction

is to be invoked whenever the

event is signaled via

SignalEvent()

.

EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES

This event is to be notified by the system when

ExitBootServices()

is invoked. This type cannot be used

with any other EVT bit type.

The notification function for this

event is not allowed to use the Memory Allocation Services, or call
any functions that use the Memory Allocation Services, because
these services modify the current memory map.

EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE

The event is to be notified by the system when

SetVirtualAddressMap()

is performed. This type cannot be

used with any other EVT bit type. See the discussion of

EVT_RUNTIME

.
