And other thing which is on my machine broken is to run with more iterations, it
randomly fails or get stuck after first iteration:

./thermal_interrupt_events -i3
thermal_interrupt_events.c:207: TINFO: CPU 23 interrupt counter: 23 (previous: 21)
thermal_interrupt_events.c:217: TPASS: x86 package thermal interrupt triggered
thermal_interrupt_events.c:142: TINFO: Testing /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone9/temp
thermal_interrupt_events.c:213: TFAIL: No thermal interrupt increase detected

Kind regards,
