+//
+// This header file defines a `CycleClock`, which yields the value and frequency
+// of a cycle counter that increments at a rate that is approximately constant.
+//
+// NOTE:
+//
+// The cycle counter frequency is not necessarily related to the core clock
+// frequency and should not be treated as such. That is, `CycleClock` cycles are
+// not necessarily "CPU cycles" and code should not rely on that behavior, even
+// if experimentally observed.
+//
+//
+// An arbitrary offset may have been added to the counter at power on.
+//
+// On some platforms, the rate and offset of the counter may differ
+// slightly when read from different CPUs of a multiprocessor. Usually,
+// we try to ensure that the operating system adjusts values periodically
+// so that values agree approximately.   If you need stronger guarantees,
+// consider using alternate interfaces.
+//
+// The CPU is not required to maintain the ordering of a cycle counter read
+// with respect to surrounding instructions.
