The +subroutines in question instrument these references for purposes of +gathering randomness for random number generator. In order to make it +bus-bound a 'flush cache line' instruction is used between probes. In +addition probes are added to \fBvector\fR elements in atomic or +interlocked manner, which should contribute additional noise on +multi-processor systems. This also means that \fBvector[num]\fR should be +zeroed upon invocation (if you want to retrieve actual probe values). +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_instrument_bus()\fR performs \fBnum\fR probes and records the number of +oscillator cycles every probe took. +.PP +\&\fBOPENSSL_instrument_bus2()\fR on the other hand \fBaccumulates\fR consecutive +probes with the same value, i.e. in a way it records duration of +periods when probe values appeared deterministic. The subroutine +performs at most \fBmax\fR probes in attempt to fill the \fBvector[num]\fR, +with \fBmax\fR value of 0 meaning "as many as it takes." +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +Return value of 0 indicates that CPU is not capable of performing the +benchmark, either because oscillator counter or 'flush cache line' is +not available on current platform. For reference, on x86 'flush cache +line' was introduced with the SSE2 extensions. +.PP +Otherwise number of recorded values is returned. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2011\-2018 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
