You won't get accurate timing with tsc.

So either use newer kernel with kvmclock (pv)
or change the clock source
into rtc/pit

No rtc/pit in my available clock sources, however,
I assume its a question of kernel compilation parameters,
is that right?
What is the advantage of rtc/pit/kvmclock (pv)over tsc?

They are accurate.

Also, is kvmclock (pv) better than the other two options.

Yes.

the thing is that I am 'confined' to use 2.6.27,
and if I decide on kvmclock, i will need to add it
'manually'

2.6.27 has kvmclock.
