/**
* Requesting the number of cycles from the CPU.
*
* `rdtsc`, or Read TimeStamp Cycle, is an instruction provided by
* x86-compatible CPUs that lets processes request the number of
* cycles spent by the CPU executing instructions since the CPU was
* started. It may be used for performance monitoring, but you should
* be aware of the following limitations.
*
*
* 1. The value is *not* monotonic.
*
* The value is reset to 0 whenever a CPU is turned off (e.g. computer
* in full hibernation, single CPU going turned off). Moreover, on
* multi-core/multi-CPU architectures, the cycles of each core/CPU are
* generally not synchronized. Therefore, is a process or thread is
* rescheduled to another core/CPU, the result of `rdtsc` may decrease
* arbitrarily.
*
* The only way to prevent this is to pin your thread to a particular
* CPU, which is generally not a good idea.
*
*
*
* 2. The value increases independently.
*
* The value may increase whenever the CPU executes an instruction,
* regardless of the process that has issued this
* instruction. Moreover, if a process or thread is rescheduled to
* another core/CPU, the result of `rdtsc` may increase arbitrarily.
*
* The only way to prevent this is to ensure that your thread is the
* sole owner of the CPU. See [1] for an example. This is also
* generally not a good idea.
*
*
*
* 3. The value does not measure time.
*
* On older architectures (pre-Pentium 4), there was no constant mapping
* between rdtsc and CPU time.
*
*
* 4. Instructions may be reordered.
*
* The CPU can reorder instructions. Also, rdtsc does not necessarily
* wait until all previous instructions have finished executing before
* reading the counter. Similarly, subsequent instructions may begin
* execution before the read operation is performed. If you use rdtsc
* for micro-benchmarking, you may end up measuring something else
* than what you expect. See [1] for a study of countermeasures.
*
*
* ** Performance
*
* According to unchecked sources on the web, the overhead of rdtsc is
* expected to be 150-200 cycles on old architectures, 6-50 on newer
* architectures. Agner's instruction tables [2] seem to confirm the latter
* results.
