Yes, I think so. The issue appears between v3.5 and v3.6-rc1.
It is not easy to reproduce but after taking some time to dig, it seems
to appear with this commit:
1e75fa8be9fb61e1af46b5b3b176347a4c958ca1 is the first bad commit
commit 1e75fa8be9fb61e1af46b5b3b176347a4c958ca1
Author: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jul 13 01:21:53 2012 -0400
time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec
The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the
sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat
duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we
have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full
nsec portion out and back in over and over.
This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper
xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and
reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion
(stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds).
This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will
allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code
is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.

dc5708bc738af695f092bf822809b13a1da104b6 M kernel
How to reproduce: with a laptop T61p, with a Core 2 Duo. I boot the
kernel in busybox and wait some minutes before writing something in the
console. At this moment, nothing appears to the console but the
characters are echo'ed several seconds later (could be 1, 5, or 10 secs
or more).
That happens when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ are set. Disabling
one of them, the issue does not appear.
Thanks
