Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A 0.0/6063 model running in Aarch32 mode with the build options listed below: TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1 ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa KEY_ALG=ecdsa ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem shows that when auth_signature() gets called 71.99% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function written in C using single byte write operations, see lib\libc\memset.c. This patch introduces new libc_asm.mk makefile which replaces C memset() implementation with assembler version giving the following results: - for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time reduced to 20.56%. The number of CPU instructions (Inst) executed during TF-A boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds for different versions is presented in the tables below, where: - C TF-A: existing TF-A C code; - C musl: "lightweight code" C "implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems" https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/string/memset.c - Asm Opt: assemler version from "Arm Optimized Routines" project https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/blob/ master/string/arm/memset.S - Asm Linux: assembler version from Linux kernel https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/lib/memset.S - Asm TF-A: assembler version from this patch Aarch32: +-----------+------+------+--------------+----------+ | Variant | Set | Size | Inst | Ratio | +-----------+------+------+--------------+----------+ | C TF-A | T32 | 16 | 2122110003 | 1.000000 | | C musl | T32 | 156 | 1643917668 | 0.774662 | | Asm Opt | T32 | 84 | 1604810003 | 0.756233 | | Asm Linux | A32 | 168 | 1566255018 | 0.738065 | | Asm TF-A | A32 | 160 | 1525865101 | 0.719032 | +-----------+------+------+--------------+----------+ AArch64: +-----------+------+------------+----------+ | Variant | Size | Inst | Ratio | +-----------+------+------------+----------+ | C TF-A | 28 | 2732497518 | 1.000000 | | C musl | 212 | 1802999999 | 0.659836 | | Asm TF-A | 140 | 1680260003 | 0.614917 | +-----------+------+------------+----------+ This patch modifies 'plat\arm\common\arm_common.mk' by overriding libc.mk makefile with libc_asm.mk and does not effect other platforms.

Trusted Firmware-A ================== Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32 or AArch64 execution states. TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including: - `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_ - `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_ - `SMC Calling Convention`_ - `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_ - `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_ The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures. In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology. Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
