> Ok, does not using NTP fixes it ?
Try this patch. With this the values from gettimeofday() or the VDSO
should stay exactly in sync with xtime even if NTP is adjusting the
clock.
This patch still has quite a few debugging printks in it, so it's not
final by any means. I'll be interested to hear how it goes, and in
particular whether or not you see any "oops, time got ahead" messages.
Paul.
