[ 7898.642404] Override clocksource jiffies is not HRT compatible. Cannot switch

Seems like it's not possible to switch to jiffies - however:
kbpc2:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NO_HZ
# CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set

but CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK=y

Interesting. BTW, does NO_HZ change the behaviour of this? In principle NO_HZ should be preferable, and particularly in a virtual machine since it should limit the number of timer interrupts.

Joanna, are you using NO_HZ?

Thanks,
