/* Usage:

   The code in this file implements the lowest level of time measuring,
   simple one-time measuring of time between two points.

   void speed_starttime (void)
   double speed_endtime (void)
       Call speed_starttime to start measuring, and then call speed_endtime
       when done.

       speed_endtime returns the time taken, in seconds.  Or if the timebase
       is in CPU cycles and the CPU frequency is unknown then speed_endtime
       returns cycles.  Applications can identify the cycles return by
       checking for speed_cycletime (described below) equal to 1.0.

       If some sort of temporary glitch occurs then speed_endtime returns
       0.0.  Currently this is for various cases where a negative time has
       occurred.  This unfortunately occurs with getrusage on some systems,
       and with the hppa cycle counter on hpux.

   double speed_cycletime
       The time in seconds for each CPU cycle.  For example on a 100 MHz CPU
       this would be 1.0e-8.

       If the CPU frequency is unknown, then speed_cycletime is either 0.0
       or 1.0.  It's 0.0 when speed_endtime is returning seconds, or it's
       1.0 when speed_endtime is returning cycles.

       It may be noted that "speed_endtime() / speed_cycletime" gives a
       measured time in cycles, irrespective of whether speed_endtime is
       returning cycles or seconds.  (Assuming cycles can be had, ie. it's
       either cycles already or the cpu frequency is known.  See also
       speed_cycletime_need_cycles below.)

   double speed_unittime
       The unit of time measurement accuracy for the timing method in use.
       This is in seconds or cycles, as per speed_endtime.

   char speed_time_string[]
       A null-terminated string describing the time method in use.

   void speed_time_init (void)
       Initialize time measuring.  speed_starttime() does this
       automatically, so it's only needed if an application wants to inspect
       the above global variables before making a measurement.

   int speed_precision
       The intended accuracy of time measurements.  speed_measure() in
       common.c for instance runs target routines with enough repetitions so
       it takes at least "speed_unittime * speed_precision" (this expression
       works for both cycles or seconds from speed_endtime).

       A program can provide an option so the user to set speed_precision.
       If speed_precision is zero when speed_time_init or speed_starttime
       first run then it gets a default based on the measuring method
       chosen.  (More precision for higher accuracy methods.)

   void speed_cycletime_need_seconds (void)
       Call this to demand that speed_endtime will return seconds, and not
       cycles.  If only cycles are available then an error is printed and
       the program exits.

   void speed_cycletime_need_cycles (void)
       Call this to demand that speed_cycletime is non-zero, so that
       "speed_endtime() / speed_cycletime" will give times in cycles.



   Notes:

   Various combinations of cycle counter, read_real_time(), getrusage(),
   gettimeofday() and times() can arise, according to which are available
   and their precision.


   Allowing speed_endtime() to return either seconds or cycles is only a
   slight complication and makes it possible for the speed program to do
   some sensible things without demanding the CPU frequency.  If seconds are
   being measured then it can always print seconds, and if cycles are being
   measured then it can always print them without needing to know how long
   they are.  Also the tune program doesn't care at all what the units are.

   GMP_CPU_FREQUENCY can always be set when the automated methods in freq.c
   fail.  This will be needed if times in seconds are wanted but a cycle
   counter is being used, or if times in cycles are wanted but getrusage or
   another seconds based timer is in use.

   If the measuring method uses a cycle counter but supplements it with
   getrusage or the like, then knowing the CPU frequency is mandatory since
   the code compares values from the two.


   Not done:

   Solaris gethrtime() seems no more than a slow way to access the Sparc V9
   cycle counter.  gethrvtime() seems to be relevant only to light weight
   processes, it doesn't for instance give nanosecond virtual time.  So
   neither of these are used.


   Bugs:

   getrusage_microseconds_p is fundamentally flawed, getrusage and
   gettimeofday can have resolutions other than clock ticks or microseconds,
   for instance IRIX 5 has a tick of 10 ms but a getrusage of 1 ms.


   Enhancements:

   The SGI hardware counter has 64 bits on some machines, which could be
   used when available.  But perhaps 32 bits is enough range, and then rely
   on the getrusage supplement.

   Maybe getrusage (or times) should be used as a supplement for any
   wall-clock measuring method.  Currently a wall clock with a good range
   (eg. a 64-bit cycle counter) is used without a supplement.

   On PowerPC the timebase registers could be used, but would have to do
   something to find out the speed.  On 6xx chips it's normally 1/4 bus
   speed, on 4xx chips it's either that or an external clock.  Measuring
   against gettimeofday might be ok.  */

/* If two times can be observed less than half a clock tick apart, then

   Two times only 1 microsecond apart are not believed, since some kernels
   take it upon themselves to ensure gettimeofday doesn't return the same
   value twice, for the benefit of applications using it for a timestamp.
   This is obviously very stupid given the speed of CPUs these days.

   Making "reps" many calls to noop_1() is designed to waste some CPU, with
   a view to getting measurements 2 microseconds (or more) apart.  "reps" is
   increased progressively until such a period is seen.

   The outer loop "attempts" are just to allow for any random nonsense or
   system load upsetting the measurements (ie. making two successive calls
   to "get" come out as a longer interval than normal).

   Bugs:

   The assumption that any interval less than a half tick implies
   microsecond resolution is obviously fairly rash, the true resolution
   could be anything between a microsecond and that half tick.  Perhaps
   something special would have to be done on a system where this is the
