On my host I am using libvirt and a KVM guest. When the host is shutting down, libvirt suspends the guest. When the host is starting up, libvirt resumes the guest. The problem is, if the guest is suspended and resumed after 24 hours for example, then the guest time is 24 hours in the past.
I thought that maybe the problem is with the clocksource, but it is set to "kvm-clock" already.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
kvm-clock tsc hpet acpi_pm
$ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
kvm-clock
