x86: Support RDTSCP for benchtests
|
|
|
|
RDTSCP waits until all previous instructions have executed and all
|
|
previous loads are globally visible before reading the counter. RDTSC
|
|
doesn't wait until all previous instructions have been executed before
|
|
reading the counter. All x86 processors since 2010 support RDTSCP
|
|
instruction. This patch adds RDTSCP support to benchtests.
|
|
|
|
* benchtests/Makefile (CPPFLAGS-nonlib): Add -DUSE_RDTSCP if
|
|
USE_RDTSCP is defined.
|
|
* sysdeps/x86/hp-timing.h (HP_TIMING_NOW): Use RDTSCP if
|
|
USE_RDTSCP is defined.
