It doesn't necessarily have to be something wrong with the system.
The vDSO clock_gettime() works only with specific clocksources,
typically TSC on x86_64. On some older HW it's not reliable enough to
be selected by the kernel, or it could be a VM which doesn't have one
that would work with migrations, etc.
