the DEBUG message for using compilation time epoch is appearing very
frequently on DEBUG firmware builds, for example during UEFI SCT runs.
Reduce verbosity to avoid the annoying repetitive message.

*How* annoying was this?

This is kind of useful information, well at the "would be good to see
in a regular DEBUG build" level.

This change will have suddenly effectively hidden a message that was
already present in many platforms, where they were not (very) annoyingly
repetitive during a normal boot.

It feels the test suite is not the thing that we need to optimise
debug output for.

Is there some alternative way we can rate limit this?

Leif,

I admit, this is not *super* annoying on a normal DEBUG build boot. On the RPi4 for instance, this shows up between 25-50 times until the OS boots (depending on the boot source).

On a test run (such as running SCT), this message is *EXTREMLY* annoying. I see ~6600 instances on one run, accounting for ~60% of the entire debug output during the test. I agree we should not be optimizing for a test run, but this is just beyond being reasonable..

How useful is this message in non-verbose DEBUG output? Does it need to be repeated for every call to LibGetTime() ? I am open for suggestions on rate limiting the output.

Given that the sole purpose of this library is to paper over the fact
that the platform violates the spec, and lacks the ability to tell
time, I think it makes little sense to obsess over how wrong the value
is that it returns.

I'm not obsessing about anything, I'm saying that using tediousness
when running a testsuite as an argument, potential issues with the
only aspect that makes this implementation useful without having to
rebuild firmware every few weeks are now hidden.

If we truly don't care about the feature, nuke it. Don't hide when it
breaks.

Nuke what exactly? I think the library has a use, I simply don't see
the point of reporting 25-50 times every boot that no timestamp was
recorded in a variable.

Nuke the variable and always use the build timestamp EPOCH.
I would prefer that to silent failure.

Or we can figure out and alternative way to stop it spamming the
console.

The library is declared as a BASE library, but that's clearly untrue
as it depends on UefiRuntimeLib.

So we could, for example, break out the "check for EPOCH in variable"
into a protocol and print the message only once at protocol init.
Or we could add a Pcd for "no point, I have no persistent storage".
