same behavior if you strip away the function call and call syscall() directly
inside the for() loop:
for (i = 0; i < qtd; i++) {
start = RDTSC();
syscall(SYS_getpid);
end = RDTSC();
printf("%lld\n", (end - start));
}
I do not have the source code for syscall() available ATM but I would look into
that to see if something there looks like it may be caching information
