// We benchmark using #[inline(never)] "inner" functions for two reasons:
//  - Avoiding inlining reduces a source of variance when running benchmarks.
//  - It is _much_ easier to get the assembly or IR for the inner loop.
//
// For example, using cargo-show-asm (https://github.com/pacak/cargo-show-asm),
// we can get the assembly for a particular benchmark's inner loop by running:
//   cargo asm --bench buffer --release buffer::p384::bench_getrandom::inner
