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 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 */
