Unstable TSC, broken BIOS?


Beginning with kernel 4.13 this message started appearing:
Quote:
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
I don't see that I've had a problem. As near as I can tell, the system clock is okay.

Code:
 cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
reports available clock sources.

Code:
 cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
reports the current clock source.

is a detailed explanation of what may be the problem.
