And---yay!---I reproduced it on another machine. And my bisection landed on the merge of the timer branch (commit e7fda6c4c3c1a7d6996dd75fd84670fa0b5d448f). Here is the log: $ git bisect bad origin/master $ git bisect good v3.16 $ git bisect good kvm-3.17-1 # 42cbc04fd3b5e3f9b011bf9fa3ce0b3d1e10b58b good [ 6929.863545] loaded kvm module (v3.17-rc1-158-g451fd72219dd) bad [ 6971.932790] loaded kvm module (for-linus) bad [ 7216.073128] loaded kvm module (v3.16-6426-gae045e245542) good [ 7286.198948] loaded kvm module (v3.16-3283-g53ee983378ff) good [ 7350.534060] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc7-1668-gaef4f5b6db65) good [ 7439.037038] loaded kvm module (v3.16-4006-g91c2ff7708d4) good [ 7481.188637] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc6-450-g7ba3c21c17d0) bad [ 7535.292730] loaded kvm module (v3.16-4635-ge7fda6c4c3c1) good [ 7589.722691] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc5-110-g9b0fd802e8c0) good [ 7630.286418] loaded kvm module (v3.16-4467-ged5c41d30ef2) good [ 7712.470986] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc1-35-g885d078bfe92) good [ 7763.443626] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc1-381-g1b0733837a9b) good [ 7825.497414] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc5-116-g7806f60e1d20) good [ 7893.174056] loaded kvm module (v3.16-rc1-384-gc6f1224573c3) This means that: - Tomasz's patch (commit 0d3da0d26e3c3515997c99451ce3b0ad1a69a36c) is fine, it just enables the (wrong) master clock more often - the failure is within that branch. I then cherry-picked Tomasz's patch during a new bisection, and landed on one of my original suspects: commit cbcf2dd3b3d4d990610259e8d878fc8dc1f17d80 Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 16 21:04:54 2014 +0000 x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread() nanoseconds based Convert the relevant base data right away to nanoseconds instead of doing the conversion on every readout.
