Description of problem: The kernel switch from tsc to refined-jiffies during boot. Jul 21 08:40:35 localhost kernel: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 133764044 ns) Jul 21 08:40:35 localhost kernel: Switched to clocksource refined-jiffies with refined-jiffies, system clock is really slow, 4-5 times slower than real time. I can switch back to tsc with echo tsc > /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource But tht system freeze ramdomly. My hardware is a Baytrail based HP Pavilion x2 - 10-k020nf. Tested with: - kernel-desktop586-3.19.8-1.mga5-1-1 - kernel-tmb-desktop-3.19.8-1.mga5-1-1 - kernel-linus-3.19.8-2.mga5-1-1 I have tested Ubuntu 14.10 and the problem does not occur. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Assignee: bugsquad => tmbSource RPM: (none) => kernel
is 4.1.7 in testing working any better ?
Depends on: (none) => 16655
tested with 4.1.8-1 Same problem. The clocksource siwtched to refined-jiffies and the clock is still slow. kernel: timekeeping watchdog: Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable, because the skew is too large: kernel: 'refined-jiffies' wd_now: fffbf891 wd_last: fffbf69c mask: ffffffff kernel: 'tsc' cs_now: 1a9335e0f0 cs_last: 1a6675c050 mask: ffffffffff kernel: Switched to clocksource refined-jiffies
Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

What about newer kernels?
