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. + * + * + * [1] + * http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/ia-32-ia-64-benchmark-code-execution-paper.pdf + * [2] http://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf + */ + +#define MOZ_HAVE_RDTSC 1 + +#if defined(_WIN32) && (defined(_M_IX86) || defined(_M_AMD64)) + +# include <intrin.h> +static __inline uint64_t ReadTimestampCounter(void) { return __rdtsc(); } + +#elif defined(__i386__) + +static __inline__ uint64_t ReadTimestampCounter(void) { + uint64_t x; + __asm__ volatile(".byte 0x0f, 0x31" : "=A"(x)); + return x; +} + +#elif defined(__x86_64__) + +static __inline__ uint64_t ReadTimestampCounter(void) { + unsigned hi, lo; + __asm__ __volatile__("rdtsc" : "=a"(lo), "=d"(hi)); + return ((uint64_t)lo) | (((uint64_t)hi) << 32); +} + +#else + +# undef MOZ_HAVE_RDTSC + +#endif + +namespace js { + +class MOZ_RAII AutoIncrementalTimer { + mozilla::TimeStamp startTime; + mozilla::TimeDuration& output; + + public: + AutoIncrementalTimer(const AutoIncrementalTimer&) = delete; + AutoIncrementalTimer& operator=(const AutoIncrementalTimer&) = delete; + + explicit AutoIncrementalTimer(mozilla::TimeDuration& output_) + : output(output_) { + startTime = mozilla::TimeStamp::Now(); + } + + ~AutoIncrementalTimer() { output += mozilla::TimeStamp::Now() - startTime; } +}; + +} // namespace js + +#endif /* vm_Time_h */ |
