Looks like one CPU is not being initialized correctly:
- The "next" correction in the trace is 18445647546048704244,
and (next-2^64) / -354039 is about 3.1*10^9. This is a pretty
plausible value of the TSC frequency. As a comparison, on my machine
I have next=18446366988261784997 and an uptime of 29:12 hours, and
the two match nicely with the CPU clock:
-(18446366988261784997-2^64) / (29.2 * 3600 * 10^9) = 3.587
$ grep -m1 model.name /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1620 0 @ 3.60GHz
- The offset in seconds * 10^9 is pretty close to the warp in nanoseconds.
Can you: 1) try this patch 2) gather a new trace 3) include uptime and
cpuinfo in your report? All this without clocksource=hpet of course.
Thanks,
Paolo
