If it's per iteration, shouldn't this function be passed time per iteration?
At the moment, it's time of all iterations:
  requested_us = tst_timespec_to_us(t->tv) * t->iterations;
  threshold = compute_threshold(requested_us, t->iterations);

Should it be ... ?
  threshold = compute_threshold(tst_timespec_to_us(t->tv), t->iterations);
