[tz_vmm demo]- execution time

[Martin Stein]

The function elapsed_ms gives you the time that has passed since the
creation of the corresponding timer session. So, yes, you can measure
time intervals with this if you use the same session for t1 and t2.

If you merely aim for performance comparison and are not interested in
concrete time values, you could also use the performance counter. The
performance counter is enabled by adding the specifier 'perf_counter' to
your <build_dir>/etc/specs.conf file. Once enabled, the performance
counter is fully accessible by the (secure world) userland.

Cheers,
Martin
