Hi Xen developers
i just would like to inform you that I have exactly the same problem
with Debian squeeze and xen, with
50 seconds time jump on my dom0 and domu. NTP is running on all
dom0/domuU, clocksource is 'xen'
everywhere.
some messages :
syslog :
Sep 11 13:56:50 dnsit22 kernel: [571603.359863] Clocksource tsc unstable
(delta = -2999662111513 ns)
xm dmesg :
...
(XEN) Platform timer is 14.318MHz HPET
...
(XEN) Platform timer appears to have unexpectedly wrapped 10 or more times.
(XEN) TSC marked as reliable, warp = 0 (count=2)
...
I had some contact with Olivier Hanesse and it indicates that he doesn't
have any solution for this problem,
and all what was proposed in February didn't solved this problem.
all suggestions are welcomed.
Best regards
Philippe

Hello
I've got an issue about time keeping with Xen 4.0 (Debian squeeze release).
My problem is here (hopefully I amn't the only one, so there might be a bug
somewhere) : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599161#50
After some times, I got this error : Clocksource tsc unstable (delta =
-2999660334211 ns). It has happened on several servers.
Looking at the output of "xm debug-key s;"
(XEN) TSC has constant rate, deep Cstates possible, so not reliable,
warp=2850 (count=3)
I am using a "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5420 @ 2.50GHz", which has the
"constant_tsc", but not the "nonstop_tsc" one.
On other systems with a newer cpu with "nonstop_tsc", I don't have this
issue (systems are running the same distros with same config).
I tried to boot with "max_cstate=0", but nothing changed, my TSC isn't
reliable and after some times, I will got the "50min" issue again.
I don't understand how a system can do a jump of "50min" in the future. Why
50min ? it is not 40min, not 1 hour, it is always 50min.
I don't know how to make my TSC "reliable" (I already disable everything
about Powerstate in BIOS Settings).
Any ideas ?
Regards
