rdtsc returns a 64-bit value in two 32-bit regs, you need to do

inline unsigned long long rdtsc(void)
{
	unsigned int lo, hi;
	asm volatile ("rdtsc": "=a" (lo), "=d" (hi));
	return (unsigned long long)hi << 32 | lo;
}

as in msr.h, otherwise you'll only be looking at the value in %rax.

On 32-bit, "=A" is edx:eax. Not sure what the point is in not letting it be that on 64-bit in fact, but yes, the thing should be compiled as 32-bit.
