Description
**Describe the bug**
On big.LITTLE ARM systems the displayed frequency and corresponding cpu count are wrong.
**System**
Which OS, compiler, and compiler version are you using:
- OS: Debian
- Compiler and version: clang-12
**To reproduce**
Link a binary against libbenchmark and run it
Example output:
```
Running ./dojo_bench
Run on (6 X 1512 MHz CPU s)
Load Average: 0.10, 0.19, 0.77
```
**Expected behavior**
Print the highest cpu frequency of all available cores, because the benchmark is always ran there.
```
Running ./dojo_bench
Run on (2 X 2016 MHz CPU s and 4 X 1512 MHz CPU s)
Load Average: 0.10, 0.19, 0.77
```
**Additional context**
```
for i in {0..5}; do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu"$i"/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq; done
1512000
1512000
1512000
1512000
2016000
2016000
```
The benchmark is always ran either on cpu 4 or 5. Shutting down last 2 cores causes benchmark times to drop significantly, proving that the "1512 MHz" core is never used.
