   $llu  ??

Are you testing these? The bad trace files that I supplied triggers this.

We should turn off the offset and not just zero out the timestamps,
otherwise we just have useless data:

We don't want all timestamps zero. We want to disable the starting event.

By having this instead:

		} else {
			tracecmd_warning("Timestamp %llu is before the initial offset %llu\n"
					 "\tSetting offset to 0",
					 ts, handle->tsc_calc.offset);
			handle->tsc_calc.offset = 0;
			ts = mul_u64_u32_shr(ts, handle->tsc_calc.mult, handle->tsc_calc.shift);
		}

We get this as output:

  Timestamp 20094822433105 is before the initial offset 20159736262966
        Setting offset to 0

Much more usable.
