+Subject: x86/hyperv: Mark the Hyper-V TSC as unstable
+
+The Hyper-V top-level functional specification states, that
+"algorithms should be resilient to sudden jumps forward or
+backward in the TSC value", this means that we should consider
+TSC as unstable. In some cases tsc tests are able to detect the
+instability, it was detected in 543 out of 646 boots in my
+testing:
+
+ Measured 6277 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
+ tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
+
+This is, however, just a heuristic. On Hyper-V platform there
+are two good clocksources: MSR-based hyperv_clocksource and
+recently introduced TSC page.
