Upstream code still maintains this behaviour of skipping calibration on guests, and tsc code verifies if the frequency is known before registering the clocksource * Patches were verified against the above test case, and also tested with stress-ng in both nested and non-nested guest scenarios [Fix] * By applying the upstream commits [0] [1], we skip refined calibration and register TSC as a clocksource directly if its frequency is known (via MSR or CPUID) * Cosmic onwards (kernel 4.18+) are already fixed [0] For Xenial only - https://git.kernel.org/linus/47c95a46d0f [1] https://git.kernel.org/linus/e10f78050323 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1822821/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
