non consistent clock cycles with the measurement tools, where exactly this inconsistent cycles come from?

I spent many time to measure exact clock cycles of given instructions, a portion of code written in C. However, I never could measure exactly how many cycles will take during the runtime, I used PAPI, "rtdsc" hardware counter, clock(), clock_gettime with "CLOCK_REALTIME". However, for every run, I get different numbers, (I don't want to iterate the program over 100000 times and get the average, is not working in my case! even works, the average still is not the precise way in my opinion),

I'm surprised how there is not a precise measurement tool, since we know exactly how many instructions are there, how is possible that we don't have a proper tool to measure!

I profile with oprofile and vtune(which inside uses pref), I know exactly what is going on but how I can measure exactly it? I'm afraid there is no way!

For the sample code below, a call to the Fibonacci function, no way to get the exact number of cycles!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdint.h>

#ifdef PAPI
#include <papi.h>
#endif

uint64_t fib(int n) { return n < 2 ? (uint64_t)n : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); }

#define rdtscll(val) {                                           \
    unsigned int __a,__d;                                        \
    asm volatile("rdtsc" : "=a" (__a), "=d" (__d));              \
    (val) = ((unsigned long)__a) | (((unsigned long)__d)<<32);   \
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    struct timespec tv;
    long long start,stop;
#ifdef PAPI
    //  gcc test.c -I/${PAPI_DIR}/include -L/${PAPI_DIR}/lib -O3 -o test -lpapi
    if (PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT) != PAPI_VER_CURRENT)
        exit(1);
    start = PAPI_get_real_cyc();
    #ifdef math
    fib(10);
    #endif  
    stop = PAPI_get_real_cyc();
    printf("total cycles : %lld\n",stop-start);
#endif  
#ifdef clk
    start = clock();
    #ifdef math
    fib(10);
    #endif  
    stop = clock();
    printf("total cycles : %lld\n",stop-start);
#endif
#ifdef Wtime
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tv);
    start= (tv.tv_sec) * 1000000000 + (tv.tv_nsec);
    #ifdef math
    fib(10);
    #endif  
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tv);
    stop= (tv.tv_sec) * 1000000000 + (tv.tv_nsec);
    printf("total time : %lld\n",stop-start);
#endif
#ifdef hardware_counter
    rdtscll(start);
    #ifdef math
    fib(10);
    #endif  
    rdtscll(stop);  
    printf("total cycles : %lld\n",stop-start);
#endif
    return 0;
}

I put here the objdump output for some of them, for instance rtdsc:

What is the way to measure exactly and consistently how many clock cycles a computer uses between a portion of code with no calls to another library, stdout, etc,?

I appreciate any help,

EDIT: Thanks all for your comments, regarding the framework, I use x86_64 and aarch64 on physical machines running ubuntu 16.04 and ubuntu 18.04. In PAPI case on aarch64 could not passed the validation tests so I skipped PAPI. However, I tried also this topic using "perf" but the same results, perf cycle counter -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/64898073/3101659

I think this is related to the fundamental of computer architecture, in von Neuman machines, using "random memory access", "brach prediction" and other stuff is the reason that we can not predict and achieve the same cycles in our program. If I run this program using HLS on FPGA device I can measure exactly how many cycles uses by the device cycle by cycle, wheras, on conventioal machines like von Neuman based machines, this is not possible.
