H A DMakefile2da8d8bfc0877b9c723514133554dfee4c0638f1 Mon May 12 14:28:47 UTC 2014 Jeenu Viswambharan <jeenu.viswambharan@arm.com> Add build configuration for timer save/restore

At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#148
