Hi

I have same issue, but it's never passed synchronization.

Jan 10 12:59:44 visp-1 Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 ACPI: HPET 000F29CD, 0038 (r1 DELL PE_SC3 1
DELL 1)
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 ACPI: HPET id: 0x8086a201 base: 0xfed00000
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 hpet clockevent registered
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#2]:
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 Measured 1020 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning
off TSC clock.
Jan 10 13:41:51 visp-1 Marking TSC unstable due to: check_tsc_sync_source
failed.
