When collecting the required library instances for modules and libraries, included libraries will be recursed to ensure the module is built with all the libraries directly linked to it and indirectly linked to it via included libraries.
Using the following scenario as an example: [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_CORE] NULL|Path/To/Library1.inf // Includes DebugLib [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_DRIVER] NULL|Path/To/Library2.inf // Includes DebugLib [LibraryClasses.common.DXE_CORE, LibraryClasses.common.DXE_DRIVER] DebugLib|MdePkg/Library/BaseDebugLibSerialPort/BaseDebugLibSerialPort.inf [Components] MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe/DxeMain.inf // Includes DebugLib The DXE_CORE NULL library will be assigned a fake library class like NULL1 and the DXE_DRIVER will be assigned NULL2. The recursion logic will see NULL1 as a directly linked and will add an instance of it to the list of libraries which need to be included in the module. When DebugLib is evaluated, the recursion logic will add the libraries DebugLib depends on to the queue which includes both NULL1 and NULL2. When NULL2 is unqueued, an instance of it will also be added to the list of libraries needed to build DxeMain which now means that both NULL1 and NULL2 have been linked. NULL includes outside of module overrides are not supported according to the spec, but we do it anyways so this seems like a case which should be fixed. This change updates the recursion logic to skip evaluating NULL libraries unless they are linked directly to the module/library being evaluated.
