Ok, thanks.

This sounds as it would work? Reading 'clock' multiple times in a row
will indeed return the same value, until the next timer interrupt.
That's what the measure function actually tries to check.

So you're using the Multi-core timer? Could you add a
mct->write<Mword>(1 << 8, Mct_timer::Reg::Tcon); and a couple of
printf("%lx\n", mct->read<Mword>(Mct_timer::Reg::Cnt_l)); in
timer-arm-exynos.cpp in Timer::init within the boot_cpu block?
Are the printed numbers different?

I'd also guess it's something with the timer.
