Using rdpmc within Go

Getting Help
1

Hi,

For research purposes, I need to read the host TSC within a VMware VM. In order to do so, I need to be able to execute rdpmc 0x10000. I have had no issue doing that in C++, using inline assembly (I don’t really need the code to be portable). However, when I try to approach the same problem from Go, I am completely unable to reach the same result.
I have tried using C and also using assembly directly. As of now, I have the following code in the same directory within a pre-existing project:

#include "textflag.h"

// func RdPmcTsc() uint64
TEXT .RdPmcTsc(SB), NOSPLIT, $0
    MOVL $0x10000, DX
    RDPMC
    RET

and

package rdpmctsc

func RdPmcTsc() uint64

I have looked everywhere for more information on how to do this, but I haven’t succeeded in implementing it yet. I can provide whatever other information you may need, but any help would be really appreciated
