Does the bug you are hitting manifest on both Intel and AMD platforms?

I don't have any AMD box here, I'll try this out at my home box.


Further, do the systems you are hitting this on have stable or unstable
TSCs?

how do I find this out? I don't see any warning about TSC in guest, but I've
just started it..
n.
Before worrying about the guest, is the host TSC stable?  What is the
host clocksource?
not sure, I'm not setting anything specifically, is this snippet of dmesg relevant:

[    1.148829] HPET: 8 timers in total, 5 timers will be used for per-cpu timer
[    1.148934] hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 0

[    1.163943] hpet: hpet6 irq 44 for MSI
[    1.175955] Switching to clocksource tsc

so I guess I'm using hpet?
n.


Looks like you are using tsc based on the last line. Can you tell us please

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

and grep -i dmesg for these keywords: TSC, clock, hpet, stable, khz, kvm
