My system clock seems to gain an extra five minutes per hour, as reported by 'date' compared to 'hwclock --show'. (The hw clock seems to be reasonably accurate.) (The gain also seems to be dependent on what I do, eg., if the system is just idle, the system clock doesn't gain as much.)
Googling around, I've seen some folks having had some luck with a boot parameter 'no_timer_check', but their problem has been a clock going twice as fast as it should. (!) Most info I find is about adjusting for drift in the hw clock, not the system clock. I have CONFIG_RTC=y and CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y but not CONFIG_HPET set. (Just grep'ed the .config, these are not particularly conscious choices. Except the first one.) Any ideas?
