When I'm in EFI trying to get memory map and exit boot service, I use AllocatePool to get memory used by GetMemoryMap. But the efi application stuck after showing "Trying to get memory map with size xxx, buffer xxx. I try to Print something after function get_memory_map, and it shows:

Unable to successfully exit boot services. Last status: 2
Error: Image at 000BE54D000 start failed: Aborted
It is possible that the call to "Print" (which prints the "?") allocates memory and thus renders the memory map key invalid, which causes ExitBootServices to fail. I had a similar issue with a UEFI loader I wrote. I strongly suggest doing as little as possible between successfully getting the memory map and calling ExitBootServices, i.e. avoid directly or indirectly calling any other EFI API.
