Dear Xen users,
After some experiencing, I've found a soultion to my problem, I just share
it with you, and hope you wont get issues that I got.
Maybe, all experience is just true for my hardware, but it is not a
special one, it is a Supermicro PDSMi-LN4 board with a Q6700. I think
other parameters do not affect.
I had problems with time skews in the domU's, particularly with freebsd
systems. With HVM instances, hpet should be enabled for the vm, as it
keeps time ticking very precise. But I had issues, that caused time jumps
in a short time, and I've found it was related to the dom0's kernel
message 'Clocksoure tsc unstable'. So then, I've started my xen hypervisor
with clocksource=pit, and since then (around 1 week) I do not experience
such time jumps, or time skews.

Subject: Re: time jumps in xen amd64/hvm instance
Dear developers/users,
I am still facing with time jump problems. Did somebody detect same issues,
or only I am doing something wrong. My dom0 is a debian squeeze, my domU is a
freebsd-9.0, amd64, kernel compiled by myself.
Currently I cannot find the exact steps needed to reproduce the problem, but
unfortunately it happens. Actually, in the past weekend it did also, when the
server had lower load than in workdays.
Where should I look further? Any ideas?
Thanks,

just an update, as I remember, this happened to 8.2 bsd in paravirtualized
mode also.

Subject: time jumps in xen amd64/hvm instance
Dear Xen users,
I have a strange problem, my hvm instance sometimes jumps time forward. I
made a little script to monitor this, and I am attaching its result also.
I have no clues where to look, why this jump happens, but of course it is
not normal. And as I have kern.securelevel at 2, ntp cannot correct this.
Could somebody help?
The amd64hvmntp.sh script is run by cron every minute.
Thanks in advance,
