/* Update a frequency counter by <inc> incremental units. It is automatically

 * different from one second. It relies on the process-wide clock that is
 * guaranteed to be monotonic. It's important to avoid forced rotates between
 * threads. A faster wrapper (update_freq_ctr_period) should be used instead,
 * which uses the thread's local time whenever possible and falls back to this
 * one when needed (less than 0.003% of the time).
