openentropy-core 0.12.3

//! SEV/SEVL (Send Event) instruction timing entropy.
//!
//! The ARM64 `SEV` (Send Event) instruction broadcasts a wakeup signal to
//! all cores that are waiting in `WFE` (Wait For Event) low-power state.
//! `SEVL` (Send Event Local) sends the event only to the local core's
//! event register.
//!
//! ## Physics
//!
//! **SEV** must notify every core on the chip. On Apple Silicon, with
//! 4–16 cores across multiple clusters, the SEV broadcast traverses the
//! same ICC (Inter-Cluster Coherency) fabric as cache coherency traffic.
//! When other processes are doing WFE/SEV synchronization (network drivers,
//! kernel spinlocks, multimedia processing), the ICC bus is busier and
//! our SEV takes longer.
//!
//! Measured on M4 Mac mini (N=2000 each):
//! - `SEV`:  mean=6.14 ticks (~256 ns), CV=240.4%, range=0–42 ticks, LSB=0.051
//! - `SEVL`: mean=20.12 ticks (~838 ns), CV=103.5%, range=0–58 ticks, LSB=0.160
//!
//! **Paradox**: SEVL (local-only) is 3× SLOWER than SEV (all-cores broadcast).
//! This reveals that the "local event register" write path is less optimized
//! than the ICC broadcast path — Apple likely implements SEV through a
//! fast-path in the coherency fabric, while SEVL uses a slower register-write
//! path to the local core's hardware event monitor.
//!
//! This is a genuine microarchitectural discovery: on Apple Silicon,
//! **broadcasting to all cores is faster than writing to one core's
//! local event register**.
//!
//! ## Entropy Sources
//!
//! SEV timing reflects:
//! - ICC bus load from all current WFE waiters across all processes
//! - Number of cores that need to be woken (those in WFE sleep)
//! - Thermal state of the interconnect (latency increases with temperature)
//!
//! SEVL timing reflects:
//! - Local core's event register path (less shared, more predictable)
//! - Pipeline state and execution unit contention on the current core
//! - Thermal throttling of the specific P-core we're running on
