Subject[PATCH] perf metrics: Add literal for system TSC frequency
From
Such a literal is useful to calculate things like the average frequency
[1]. The TSC frequency isn't exposed by sysfs although some experimental
drivers look to add it [2]. This change computes the value using the
frequency in /proc/cpuinfo which is accruate at least on Intel
processors.
