cpupower: fix TSC MHz calculation
[ Upstream commit 9d6c0e58514f8b57cd9c2c755e41623d6a966025 ]
Commit 'cpupower: Make TSC read per CPU for Mperf monitor' (c2adb1877b7)
changes TSC counter reads per cpu, but left time diff global (from start
of all cpus to end of all cpus), thus diff(time) is too large for a
cpu's tsc counting, resulting in far less than acutal TSC_Mhz and thus
`cpupower monitor` showing far less than actual cpu realtime frequency.
/proc/cpuinfo shows frequency:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep -e 'processor' -e 'MHz'
...
processor : 171
cpu MHz : 4108.498
...
before fix (System 100% busy):
| Mperf || Idle_Stats
CPU| C0 | Cx | Freq || POLL | C1 | C2
171| 0.77| 99.23| 2279|| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00
after fix (System 100% busy):
| Mperf || Idle_Stats
CPU| C0 | Cx | Freq || POLL | C1 | C2
171| 0.46| 99.54| 4095|| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00
