The commit is in general not strictly required - it mainly should reduce a bit the load in the system. If you still want to debug this - you may try:
to disable for tsc deadline mode on the hypervisor command line, see repos/base-nova/run/env file and add there a " nodl " option to the hypervisor commandline
Another issue could arise if the timer service is running at the same priority level as the other services and applications of your scenario. You may try to set the timer service at a higher priority. See the virtualbox run scripts for a example.
I tried your suggestions, but nothing changess.
Which x86 hardware do you use ? Does it happen on all your machines or only on one specific one ?
I'm working with the Panasonic Toughpad FZ-M1. The specs can be found here: ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/panasonic/business/toughpad/downloads/Toughpad_M1_Specsheet.pdf
I only have this single machine to experiment with but with qemu everything works fine. I also tried to run the scenario on Virtualbox but it crashes on startup. However, this is probably an unrelated issue and a bug in Virtualbox itself.
Do you have maybe a working run script or branch and can you put the Android image somewhere, so I could try to reproduce it.
You can find a minimal run script for usage with qemu here: https://github.com/chrism333/genode/blob/toughpad/repos/toughpad/run/toughpa...
The android image is an unmodified android-x86, it can be downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/android-x86/files/Release%204.4/
