Title: Very inaccurate TSC clocksource on HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 with kernel 4.13 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On kernel 4.13.0-37-generic, HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 systems have been observed with very large clock offsets, as measured by NTP. Over the past few days on one of our production systems, we've used 3 different kernels: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/nDkkgRqdtv/ All of these kernels default to the TSC clocksource, which is supposed to be very reliable on Skylake-X CPUs. On 4.4 (linux-image-generic- lts-xenial) it works as expected; on 3.13 (trusty default kernel) it works a little worse, and on 4.13 (linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04) it is much worse. Today I switched 4.13 from the TSC clocksource to the HPET clocksource and it improved the situation dramatically. I've produced loopstats & peerstats graphs from NTP corresponding to the dates in the pastebin above and placed them at https://people.canonical.com/~paulgear/ntp/.
