Your code always talks directly to the cpu. Your program 'just' runs in a env where it is not allowed to do a few things the kernel is allowed to.

Probing the cpu for timings of memory access you don't have access to, or forcing it to something somewhere where you do have access to, you don't need the kernel for that. Thats the problem.
