Fixed logic related to DxeCore only advanced logger (#359)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Description

When using advanced logger starting from DxeCore, the library
constructor will allocate space for the advanced logger buffer.
When this allocation takes place, the associated global variable
`mMaxAddress` will be created to specify the last address for the log
buffer.

In the DxeCore case, the calculation for `mMaxAddress` did not take into
account the size of the `ADVANCED_LOGGER_INFO` structure that is at the
start of the buffer, resulting in an inconsistent address between
`mMaxAddress` and `LoggerInfo->LogBuffer + LoggerInfo->LogBufferSize`

All other instances of this code use `LoggerInfo->LogBuffer +
LoggerInfo->LogBufferSize`, so change DxeCore library instance to use
the same logic as other library instances.


For each item, place an "x" in between `[` and `]` if true. Example:
`[x]`.

## How This Was Tested
Found by setting debug messages to such a high level that the end of the
buffer was reached, resulting in incorrect checks of `mMaxAddress`
overwriting the end of the buffer.

Incorrect logic was tripped up in `ValidateInfoBlock()` where
`mMaxAddress` would cause a return of `false`, which in turn would
result in NULL being returned from an arbitrary call to
`AdvancedLoggerGetLoggerInfo`.
