Sure, no problem,

I, however, was under the impression the patch fixes the issue with the
newly introduced sched clock:

commit b74e1d61dbc614ff35ef3ad9267c61ed06b09051
Author: Tianyu Lan <Tianyu.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    clocksource/hyperv: Add Hyper-V specific sched clock function

(and Fixes: tag is missing)

and this is not in mainline as of v5.3-rc6. In tip/timers/core Thomas
already picked my "clocksource/drivers/hyperv: Enable TSC page
clocksource on 32bit" which also resolves the issue.

So my question is - which older/stable kernel do you have in mind?
