[PATCH] tools/power turbostat: Fix Bzy_MHz calculation equation

From: Peng Liu
Date: Sat Oct 07 2023 - 01:46:49 EST


From: Peng Liu <liupeng17@xxxxxxxxxx>

To calculate Bzy_MHz, TSC_delta should multiply APERF_delta instead
of dividing it.

-Bzy_MHz = TSC_delta/APERF_delta/MPERF_delta/measurement_interval
+Bzy_MHz = TSC_delta*APERF_delta/MPERF_delta/measurement_interval

Note that these calculations depend on TSC_delta, so they
are not reliable during intervals when TSC_MHz is not running at the base frequency.
