+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The '``llvm.readsteadycounter``' intrinsic provides access to the fixed
+frequency clock on targets that support it. Unlike ``llvm.readcyclecounter``,
+this clock is expected to tick at a constant rate, making it suitable for
+measuring elapsed time. The actual frequency of the clock is implementation
+defined.
+
+Semantics:
+""""""""""
+
+When directly supported, reading the steady counter should not modify any
+memory. Implementations are allowed to either return an application
+specific value or a system wide value. On backends without support, this
+is lowered to a constant 0.
