/* The macros defined here use the timestamp counter in IA-64.  They
   provide a very accurate way to measure the time with very little
   overhead.  The time values themself have no real meaning, only
   differences are interesting.

   The list of macros we need includes the following:

   - HP_TIMING_AVAIL: test for availability.

   - HP_TIMING_INLINE: this macro is non-zero if the functionality is not
     implemented using function calls but instead uses some inlined code
     which might simply consist of a few assembler instructions.  We have to
     know this since we might want to use the macros here in places where we
     cannot make function calls.

   - hp_timing_t: This is the type for variables used to store the time
     values.

   - HP_TIMING_ZERO: clear `hp_timing_t' object.

   - HP_TIMING_NOW: place timestamp for current time in variable given as
     parameter.

   - HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT: do whatever is necessary to be able to use the
     HP_TIMING_DIFF macro.

   - HP_TIMING_DIFF: compute difference between two times and store it
     in a third.  Source and destination might overlap.

   - HP_TIMING_ACCUM: add time difference to another variable.  This might
     be a bit more complicated to implement for some platforms as the
     operation should be thread-safe and 64bit arithmetic on 32bit platforms
     is not.

   - HP_TIMING_ACCUM_NT: this is the variant for situations where we know
     there are no threads involved.

   - HP_TIMING_PRINT: write decimal representation of the timing value into
     the given string.  This operation need not be inline even though
     HP_TIMING_INLINE is specified.
