>KVM should use masterclock whenever it can. Host dmesg can contain warning about unstable TSC if masterclock is not being used for good reasons (grep for "TSC unstable" and "unstable TSC"). >Relevant tracepoints are (from arch/x86/kvm/trace.h) >kvm:kvm_update_master_clock > kvm:kvm_track_tsc > kvm:kvm_pvclock_update > kvm:write_tsc_offset >The host is using TSC clocksource, TSC wasn't marked as unstable, guest didn't screw with MSR_IA32_TSC or MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST, and masterclock still isn't used?
