I ran into the same problem. 2.6.34.1 and 2.6.35-rc6 SMP guest
kernels hang during boot.
It appears that last is way ahead of ret twice.
The kernel boots with this debug patch that makes the clock go
backwards if the difference is big:
last = atomic64_read(&last_value);
do {
- if (ret< last)
- return last;
+ if (ret< last) {
+ if ( last - ret< 25000000 )
+ return last;
+ else
+ printk("pvclock backwards: ret = %llx; last =
%llx\n", ret, last);
+ }
last = atomic64_cmpxchg(&last_value, last, ret);
} while (unlikely(last != ret));

Zaaaacchhhh?!
The lists below show some debug data of the first 99 calls to
pvclock_clocksource_read since the kernel booted. The situation
after the 'do ... while (version != src->version)' loop is
displayed.
Meaning of the columns:
- src pointer
- shadow.tsc_timestamp
- shadow.system_timestamp
- shadow.version
- native_read_tsc()
- delta = native_read_tsc() - shadow.tsc_timestamp
- offset = scale_delta(delta, shadow.tsc_to_nsec_mul, shadow.tsc_shift)
- ret = shadow.system_timestamp + offset
Fields left out, because they were the same for all rows:
- shadow.tsc_to_nsec_mul: b6dc43b6
- shadow.tsc_shift: ffffffff
- shadow.flags: 0

The data for the first CPU (ffff880001411c00) looks OK to me.
For the second CPU (ffff880001511c00), the contents of the shadow struct
appear to be wrong on line 71 and 79: shadow.tsc_timestamp and
native_read_tsc() are very dissimilar, which results in a wrong value
of ret.
On line 80, the struct is OK again.
Notice that shadow.version appears to have been be reset back to 0. That
doesn't happen when the guest is rebooted without stopping the virtual machine.
How are you printing shadow.version? From a local variable captured
during the barrier window or directly in a printk afterwards? If should
never go backwards like this, and the vcpus come from a zalloc. This is
not easily explainable by anything other than a memory ordering or
compiler issue.
Note that receiving a startup IPI will cause the TSC to (mistakenly)
pass through the host value, but this should be corrected for. This
happens because SVM will call init_vmcb, clearing the tsc_offset field.
This seems to explain the huge difference in TSC presented to the CPUs.
It should affect kvmclock, because kvmclock won't be running at that
time yet.
