Calvin, could you please take a look at the following version if it is suitible?

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] tools/power turbostat: Fix offset overflow issue in index
 converting

The idx_to_offset() function returns type int (32-bit signed), but
MSR_PKG_ENERGY_STAT is greater than INT_MAX (or rather, would be
interpreted as a negative number). The end result is that it hits
the if (offset < 0) check in update_msr_sum() resulting in the timer
callback for updating the stat in the background when long durations
are used to not happen. The similar issue exists in offset_to_idx()
and update_msr_sum().

This patch fixes this issue by converting the 'int' type to 'off_t'
accordingly.
