It looks as though the relevant commits were re-committed to upstream
git HEAD (9a48bcd1b82494671c111109b0eefdb882581499 and
317b0a6d8ba44e9bf8f9c3dbd776c4536843d82c).  So this may be fixed in
vivid, and we might be able to cherrypick the final patches to trusty.

  guest hangs after live migration due to tsc jump

Bug description:
  We have two identical Ubuntu servers running libvirt/kvm/qemu, sharing
  a Gluster filesystem. Guests can be live migrated between them.
  However, live migration often leads to the guest being stuck at 100%
  for a while. In that case, the dmesg output for such a guest will show
  (once it recovers): Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 662463064082
  ns). In this particular example, a guest was migrated and only after
  11 minutes (662 seconds) did it become responsive again.

  It seems that newly booted guests doe not suffer from this problem,
  these can be migrated back and forth at will. After a day or so, the
  problem becomes apparent. It also seems that migrating from server A
  to server B causes much more problems than going from B back to A. If
  necessary, I can do more measurements to qualify these observations.

  The VM servers run Ubuntu 13.04 with these packages:
  Kernel: 3.8.0-35-generic x86_64
  Libvirt: 1.0.2
  Qemu: 1.4.0
  Gluster-fs: 3.4.2 (libvirt access the images via the filesystem, not using 
libgfapi yet as the Ubuntu libvirt is not linked against libgfapi).
  The interconnect between both machines (both for migration and gluster) is 
10GbE. 
  Both servers are synced to NTP and well within 1ms form one another.

  Guests are either Ubuntu 13.04 or 13.10.

  On the guests, the current_clocksource is kvm-clock.
  The XML definition of the guests only contains:  <clock offset='utc'/> 

  Now as far as I've read in the documentation of kvm-clock, it specifically 
supports live migrations, so I'm a bit surprised at these problems. There isn't 
all that much information to find on these issue, although I have found 
postings by others that seem to have run into the same issues, but without a 
solution.
