When resuming timekeeping after suspend, restore clocksources prior to reading the persistent clock. Paravirt clocks, e.g. kvmclock, tie the validity of a PV persistent clock to a clocksource, i.e. reading the PV persistent clock will return garbage if the underlying PV clocksource hasn't been enabled. The flaw has gone unnoticed because kvmclock is a mess and uses its own suspend/resume hooks instead of the clocksource suspend/resume hooks, which happens to work by sheer dumb luck (the kvmclock resume hook runs before timekeeping_resume()).
Note, there is no evidence that any clocksource supported by the kernel depends on a persistent clock.
