MdeModulePkg/Core: Reduce stack cookie value verbosity (#384)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Description

The message that prints the security cookie value initialized during
PE image load prints about 150 times on some Intel platforms
(depending on DXE/MM module count and cookie config settings).

This information is typically not needed unless specialized debug
related to security cookies is required which is rare. This change
constrains the message to `DEBUG_VERBOSE` (instead of `DEBUG_INFO`)
in addition to `DEBUG_LOAD`.

- [ ] Impacts functionality?
- **Functionality** - Does the change ultimately impact how firmware
functions?
- Examples: Add a new library, publish a new PPI, update an algorithm,
...
- [ ] Impacts security?
- **Security** - Does the change have a direct security impact on an
application,
    flow, or firmware?
  - Examples: Crypto algorithm change, buffer overflow fix, parameter
    validation improvement, ...
- [ ] Breaking change?
- **Breaking change** - Will anyone consuming this change experience a
break
    in build or boot behavior?
- Examples: Add a new library class, move a module to a different repo,
call
    a function in a new library class in a pre-existing module, ...
- [ ] Includes tests?
  - **Tests** - Does the change include any explicit test code?
  - Examples: Unit tests, integration tests, robot tests, ...
- [ ] Includes documentation?
- **Documentation** - Does the change contain explicit documentation
additions
    outside direct code modifications (and comments)?
- Examples: Update readme file, add feature readme file, link to
documentation
    on an a separate Web page, ...

## How This Was Tested

Before change, log showed stack cookie value and after change it does
not
(with `DEBUG_VERBOSE` and `DEBUG_LOAD` not active).

## Integration Instructions

Check if any tools or processes were dependent on the stack cookie value
message
and adjust debug print level accordingly if necessary.
