Comment 66 for bug 217815

@Colin King:

On my machine I have hpet, acpi_pm, jiffies, and tsc as available clock sources. hpet seems to be the default. Here are my results using the daily from the 21st (I think...)

hpet: stalls
acpi_pm: stalls (perhaps worse than hpet)
jiffies: Works! If this does not eliminate the stalls, it at least makes them so short they are easily confused with normal processing
tsc: stalls really badly, worse than hpet or acpi_pm

I'm going to test jiffies a couple more times, but the one run though worked great! Remember that this is on real hardware, not KVM!
