/**
* CPU Jitter noise source -- this is the noise source based on the CPU
* execution time jitter
*
* This function folds the time into one bit units by iterating
* through the DATA_SIZE_BITS bit time value as follows: assume our time value
* is 0xabcd
* 1st loop, 1st shift generates 0xd000
* 1st loop, 2nd shift generates 0x000d
* 2nd loop, 1st shift generates 0xcd00
* 2nd loop, 2nd shift generates 0x000c
* 3rd loop, 1st shift generates 0xbcd0
* 3rd loop, 2nd shift generates 0x000b
* 4th loop, 1st shift generates 0xabcd
* 4th loop, 2nd shift generates 0x000a
* Now, the values at the end of the 2nd shifts are XORed together.
*
* The code is deliberately inefficient and shall stay that way. This function
* is the root cause why the code shall be compiled without optimization. This
* function not only acts as folding operation, but this function's execution
* is used to measure the CPU execution time jitter. Any change to the loop in
* this function implies that careful retesting must be done.
*
* Input:
* @ec entropy collector struct -- may be NULL
* @time time stamp to be folded
* @loop_cnt if a value not equal to 0 is set, use the given value as number of
* loops to perform the folding

/**
* Memory Access noise source -- this is a noise source based on variations in
* memory access times
*
* This function performs memory accesses which will add to the timing
* variations due to an unknown amount of CPU wait states that need to be
* added when accessing memory. The memory size should be larger than the L1
* caches as outlined in the documentation and the associated testing.
*
* The L1 cache has a very high bandwidth, albeit its access rate is usually
* slower than accessing CPU registers. Therefore, L1 accesses only add minimal
* variations as the CPU has hardly to wait. Starting with L2, significant
* variations are added because L2 typically does not belong to the CPU any more
* and therefore a wider range of CPU wait states is necessary for accesses.
* L3 and real memory accesses have even a wider range of wait states. However,
* to reliably access either L3 or memory, the ec->mem memory must be quite
* large which is usually not desirable.
*
* Input:
* @ec Reference to the entropy collector with the memory access data -- if
* the reference to the memory block to be accessed is NULL, this noise
* source is disabled
* @loop_cnt if a value not equal to 0 is set, use the given value as number of
* loops to perform the folding
