+``__builtin_readsteadycounter``
+------------------------------
+
+``__builtin_readsteadycounter`` is used to access the fixed frequency counter
+register (or a similar steady-rate clock) on those targets that support it.
+The function is similar to ``__builtin_readcyclecounter`` above except that the
+frequency is fixed, making it suitable for measuring elapsed time.
