LSL is faster than RDTSCP and works everywhere; there's no need to switch between them depending on CPU.

* A handful of variables are accessible (read-only) from userspace

|
* In normal kernel code, they are used like any other variable.
|
|
* In user code, they are accessed through the VVAR macro.
|
|
*
|
|
* These variables live in a page of kernel data that has an extra RO
|
|
* mapping for userspace. Each variable needs a unique offset within
|
|
* that page; specify that offset with the DECLARE_VVAR macro. (If
|
|
* you mess up, the linker will catch it.)
