After aa297292d708, there are separate native calibrations for cpu_khz and tsc_khz. The code sets x86_platform.calibrate_cpu to native_calibrate_cpu() which looks in cpuid leaf 0x16 or msrs for the cpu frequency. Since we keep the tsc_khz constant (even after vmotion), the cpu_khz and tsc_khz may start diverging. tsc_init() now does cpu_khz = x86_platform.calibrate_cpu(); tsc_khz = x86_platform.calibrate_tsc(); if (tsc_khz == 0) tsc_khz = cpu_khz; else if (abs(cpu_khz - tsc_khz) * 10 > tsc_khz) cpu_khz = tsc_khz; We want the cpu_khz and tsc_khz to be sync even if they diverge less then 10%. This patch resolves this issue by setting x86_platform.calibrate_cpu to vmware_get_tsc_khz().
