We probably need to get clock folks to jump in on this thread!
Maybe it's disabling some built-in unstable clock just as part of
falling back to using the better, stable clock that you also have?
So maybe there's a way of just disabling that clocksource from the
get-go instead of having it be marked unstable later.
If you run the test again after this storm of unstable marking, does
it all happen again? Or is it a persistent state in the kernel?
If so, maybe you can just arrange to get to that state before starting
your application's task-isolation code.
Or, if you think it's clock adjustments, perhaps running your test with
ntpd disabled would make it work better?
