The clock drift disappeared after booting the kernel with
"notsc" option.
Thanks a lot. It seems there is some bug with the TSC support inside
the kernel.
Maybe it is caused by the clock drifts between two TSCs in the both
CPUs, as mentioned by Pádraig Brady in one reply to my previous
question.
But I am still wondering why the clock drift can be so huge (a
couple of seconds sometimes) and the drifts occurred so regular (around
every 1 second).
If I have time in future, I will dig into it to figure out what is the
exact reason.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Regards,
Liangchen

try "notsc" as boot option
