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

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) ?
