So far, all AMD machines starting from Barcelona (F10h) onwards should
have a stable TSC. If you've seen some discrepancies, make sure to
let us know. The bigger machines I have access to are all ok wrt
synchronized TSCs but I won't be surprised if someone proves me wrong.
Of course, if dumb firmware decides to fiddle with the TSC, then dumb
firmware should be fixed.
Wrt TSC adjust MSR, it should be probably best to take this up with AMD
engineering.
HTH.
