Description

```
if (old_val_CORE[ii] > new_val_CORE[ii]) { //handle overflow
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE = (UINT64_MAX - old_val_CORE[ii]) + new_val_CORE[ii];

may be corrected by

if (old_val_CORE[ii] > new_val_CORE[ii]) { //handle overflow
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE = (UINT64_MAX - new_val_CORE[ii]) + old_val_CORE[ii];

I'm programming XFreq and this is the formula which gives me good results when
showing Turbo.

Research direction

Search the repository for old_val_CORE and inspect the surrounding overflow-handling code. Compare the current calculation with the issue's proposed formula and check how the resulting counter is used for Turbo or XFreq display. Done means the overflow behavior matches the reported expected results and the relevant code still builds.
