// unsigned to guarantee wraparound on overflow.
using Ticks = uint64_t;
// Start/Stop return absolute timestamps and must be placed immediately before
// and after the region to measure. We provide separate Start/Stop functions
// because they use different fences.
//
// Background: RDTSC is not 'serializing'; earlier instructions may complete
// after it, and/or later instructions may complete before it. 'Fences' ensure
// regions' elapsed times are independent of such reordering. The only
// documented unprivileged serializing instruction is CPUID, which acts as a
// full fence (no reordering across it in either direction). Unfortunately
// the latency of CPUID varies wildly (perhaps made worse by not initializing
// its EAX input). Because it cannot reliably be deducted from the region's
// elapsed time, it must not be included in the region to measure (i.e.
// between the two RDTSC).
//
// The newer RDTSCP is sometimes described as serializing, but it actually
// only serves as a half-fence with release semantics. Although all
// instructions in the region will complete before the final timestamp is
// captured, subsequent instructions may leak into the region and increase the
// elapsed time. Inserting another fence after the final RDTSCP would prevent
// such reordering without affecting the measured region.
//
// Fortunately, such a fence exists. The LFENCE instruction is only documented
// to delay later loads until earlier loads are visible. However, Intel's
// reference manual says it acts as a full fence (waiting until all earlier
// instructions have completed, and delaying later instructions until it
// completes). AMD assigns the same behavior to MFENCE.
//
// We need a fence before the initial RDTSC to prevent earlier instructions
// from leaking into the region, and arguably another after RDTSC to avoid
// region instructions from completing before the timestamp is recorded.
// When surrounded by fences, the additional RDTSCP half-fence provides no
// benefit, so the initial timestamp can be recorded via RDTSC, which has
// lower overhead than RDTSCP because it does not read TSC_AUX. In summary,
// we define Start = LFENCE/RDTSC/LFENCE; Stop = RDTSCP/LFENCE.
//
// Using Start+Start leads to higher variance and overhead than Stop+Stop.
// However, Stop+Stop includes an LFENCE in the region measurements, which
// adds a delay dependent on earlier loads. The combination of Start+Stop
// is faster than Start+Start and more consistent than Stop+Stop because
// the first LFENCE already delayed subsequent loads before the measured
// region. This combination seems not to have been considered in prior work:
// http://akaros.cs.berkeley.edu/lxr/akaros/kern/arch/x86/rdtsc_test.c
//
// Note: performance counters can measure 'exact' instructions-retired or
// (unhalted) cycle counts. The RDPMC instruction is not serializing and also
// requires fences. Unfortunately, it is not accessible on all OSes and we
// prefer to avoid kernel-mode drivers. Performance counters are also affected
// by several under/over-count errata, so we use the TSC instead.
// Returns a 64-bit timestamp in unit of 'ticks'; to convert to seconds,
// divide by InvariantTicksPerSecond.
