It's at 6.5.0-15-generic atm, like the upgrade log showed, that was the latest update to date. > > This has been set on the guest, though (defaults): > > kern.timecounter.tick=1 > > kern.timecounter.timestepwarnings=0 > > kern.timecounter.hardware=pvclock0 > > kern.timecounter.choice=i8254(0) pvclock0(1500) acpitimer0(1000) > > > So pvclock should be relying on KVM to properly deal with TSC > paravirtualzation. Do you see this issue with Linux guests using > kvmclock? (Or do your Linux guests decide on a different clocksource?) Nowhere else, and even this has been working fine until I think the beginning of this January. There's a bunch of OSs running there, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, all using 'kvm-clock' as their clock source, they work fine. No problem with FreeBSD (using kvmclock0) and Win11 (no clue what it's using) either.
