counter register in-CPU.

This is to be used as a fast "timer", where linearity is more important
than time, and multiple lines in the linearity caused by multiple CPUs
in an SMP machine is not a problem.

This adds no code whatsoever to the FreeBSD kernel until it is actually
used, and then as a single-instruction inline routine (except for the
80386 and 80486 where it is some more inline code around nanotime(9).

.Sh NAME
.Nm get_cyclecounter
.Nd get the CPU's fast counter register contents
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
.Fd #include <machine/cpu.h>
.Ft u_int64_t
.Fn get_cyclecounter "void"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn get_cyclecounter
functon uses a register
available in most modern CPUs
to return a value
that is monotonically increasing
inside each CPU.
.Pp
In SMP systems,
there will be a number of
separate monotonic sequences,
one for each CPU running.
The value in the SMP case is
selected from one of these sequences,
dependent on which CPU
was scheduled to service the request.
.Pp
The speed and maximum value
of each counter
is CPU-dependant.
Some CPUs
(such as the
.Tn Intel
80386 and 80486)
do not have such a register,
so
.Fn get_cyclecounter
on these platforms
returns the number of nanoseconds
represented by the
structure returned by
.Xr nanotime 9 .
.Pp
The
.Tn Pentium
processors all use the
.Li TSC
register.
.Pp
The
.Tn Alpha processors use the
.Li PCC
register.
.Pp
The
.Tn IA64
processors use the
.Li AR.ITC
register.
