They seem to appear before the hrtimer "interrupt too slow" messages.But this "tsc unstable" message does not seem to be so critical, They're nothing to worry about. e.g. I just started my system (xen clocksource) and started a VM, and got the usual hrtimer "slow interrupt" warning, and then all the symptoms started, but there no "tsc unstables" warning in dmesg. However, I previously missed another message, that seem to occur at the very beginning of the system life (before I started any other VMs): Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle That doesn't matter because it doesn't use the tsc clocksource. The Xen clocksource uses the tsc hardware register, but it isn't subject to the same constraints that the tsc clocksource is. The tsc clocksource calibration is probably getting confused by being on a vcpu.
