We can use perf reported timestamps to potentially get a more accurate
frequency average.

Lets see if this improves the situation for sporadic failures like on APL:

  Frequency: min=100, max=750, boost=750 MHz
  Min frequency: requested 90.0, actual 90.0
  Max frequency: requested 749.8, actual 647.9

Even if it doesn't using the embedded timestamp makes a lot more sense,

Thanks.

It will definitely not fix everything. For instance I think that on one SKL GT2 I see max frequency being reported as 1000 MHz while in actuality it can only reach 950 Mhz. What to do one machine like that one is the question.

Tvrtko
