Tested kernel in -proposed, version 4.4.0-144-generic (in Xenial).
Problem does not reproduce anymore.

I've used tscdeadline_delay test wrote by Thadeu Cascardo as a kvm-unit-
tests "module" - this specific test is not upstream yet, Cascardo wrote
for this LP in particular and is finishing/polishing before submission.
As soon as it gets merged, I'll point the link here for reference.


In summary, I ran the test against 4.4.0-143, which gave me this output:

$ ./x86/run x86/tscdeadline_delay.flat -smp 1 -cpu host,+tsc-deadline

/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -device pc-testdev -device isa-
debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 -vnc none -serial stdio -device pci-
testdev -machine accel=kvm -kernel x86/tscdeadline_delay.flat -smp 1
-cpu host,+tsc-deadline # -initrd /tmp/tmp.bDXlFhhhBJ

PASS: apic existence

FAIL: delta: 4294968162

SUMMARY: 2 tests, 1 unexpected failures


After that, I've rebooted the machine and tested against 4.4.0-144:

$ ./x86/run x86/tscdeadline_delay.flat -smp 1 -cpu host,+tsc-deadline

/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -device pc-testdev -device isa-
