Bug#839627: linux-image-4.7.0-1-amd64: kvm-clock provides unadjusted time

2016-10-08 Thread Gedalya
I have two KVM servers where I'm doing GPU passthrough to a VM. Both are running linux 4.6.4. We're using an NVIDIA GPU which means I have to hide KVM (kvm=off, or ). As a result, current_clocksource is tsc. ntpd shows a drift of ~0. So in seems that the tsc values the VM is getting are

Package: src:linux Version: 4.7.5-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When booting the host with linux 3.16, it looks like kvm-clock provides guests with time as adjusted by ntpd. This looks like this (note the 'frequency' variable [0]): host : # ntpq -crv associd=0 status=0415 leap_none,
