# Currently rte_rdtsc() does not have dsb. Right? or any barriers.

rte_rdtsc_precise().

We use rte_get_tsc_cycles get start_value in pmd1 and end_value in pmd2 in our 
qos module, it works ok in x86 but not ok in arm64.

Then we use rte_mb() to sync instruction but it not work.Because rte_mb is dsb 
I think it only have affect on memory. cntvct_el0 and system counter is 
register so I think we should use isb.

It works well after we use isb in multi core scenes.

Use rte_rdtsc_precise is good idea. Maybe use isb replace of rte_mb(dsb) ?
