This module defines the interface for the Benchmark Timer Driver.

The following methods in this module must be provided by each BSP:

• benchmark_timer_initialize
• benchmark_timer_read
• benchmark_timer_disable_subtracting_average_overhead

The units measured are BSP specific but should be at the highest granularity possible.

The Benchmark Timer may use the same hardware as the Clock Driver. No RTEMS Timing Tests will use both drivers at the same time.
