I also had a problem with this, however on my setup for some reason it
would still revert the time to Jan 25th 2009 every minute or so,
presumably ntpd didn't know what to do with the time that far out of
whack.
sysctl xen.independent_wallclock=3D1 didn't seem to do anything, so i
changed sys/i386/xen/clock.c
if (shadow_tv_version !=3D HYPERVISOR_shared_info->wc_version) {
to
if ((shadow_tv_version !=3D HYPERVISOR_shared_info->wc_version)
&& (independent_wallclock!=3D1)) {
Kludgy i'm sure, but it stopped the Jan25th thing. My time still skews
slowly, but ntpd should be able to adjust that without changing ntpds
tolerances.
