Description
In #4524 we gained some code to directly access the x86 RDTSC clock for profiling purposes. However, on almost all systems, std::time::Instant
should already be using that clock. So maybe instead of carrying such low-level code we should document how to diagnose and potentially work-around the case where the kernel doesn't trust the RDTSC clock? If the clock is so unstable that the kernel doesn't use it, maybe it's also not a great fit for profiling...
