Apparently this bug's still alive and kicking. There's an obvious clock skew problem on Windows 7; in the Date & Time dialog, the clock jumps through seconds visibly too fast.
I also found a case where HPET bugs are causing a real problem: Terraria (dedicated server) seems to be relying on (something that relies on) HPET, and QEMU doesn't get it right. The result is a goofy and aggravating behavior I've nicknamed "Turbo Monsters of Doom" and it makes killing anything tougher than a normal zombie basically impossible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599958 Title: Timedrift problems with Win7: hpet missing time drift fixups Status in QEMU: Confirmed Bug description: We've been finding timedrift issues witth Win7 under qemu-kvm on our daily testing kvm.qemu-kvm-git.smp2.Win7.64.timedrift.with_load FAIL 1 Time drift too large after rest period: 38.63% kvm.qemu-kvm-git.smp2.Win7.64.timedrift.with_reboot FAIL 1 Time drift too large at iteration 1: 17.77 seconds kvm.qemu-kvm-git.smp2.Win7.64.timedrift.with_migration FAIL 1 Time drift too large at iteration 2: 3.08 seconds Steps to reproduce: timedrift.with_load 1) Log into a guest. 2) Take a time reading from the guest and host. 3) Run load on the guest and host. 4) Take a second time reading. 5) Stop the load and rest for a while. 6) Take a third time reading. 7) If the drift immediately after load is higher than a user- specified value (in %), fail. If the drift after the rest period is higher than a user-specified value, fail. timedrift.with_migration 1) Log into a guest. 2) Take a time reading from the guest and host. 3) Migrate the guest. 4) Take a second time reading. 5) If the drift (in seconds) is higher than a user specified value, fail. timedrift.with_reboot 1) Log into a guest. 2) Take a time reading from the guest and host. 3) Reboot the guest. 4) Take a second time reading. 5) If the drift (in seconds) is higher than a user specified value, fail. This bug is to register those issues and keep an eye on them.
