[server] EC2 kernel time and dmesg timestamp jump -- has the TSC bug returned in 14.04?

I ran into an issue where kernel logs in syslog-ng would post for wildly inappropriate times -- months in the future.

I tracked it down to the source. The issue is the dmesg time jumping. Example here:

Code:

[    0.000000] Xen version: 3.4.3.amazon (preserve-AD)
[    0.000000] setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:256 nr_cpumask_bits:256 nr_cpu_ids:1 nr_node_ids:1
[    0.000000] PERCPU:
[    0.000000] pcpu-alloc:
[    0.000000] pcpu-alloc: [0] 0

This looks to be an issue with the Linux kernel trusting the TSC clock. The problem is discussed here:

Supposedly it was already fixed in 12.04:

I'm going to guess that the fix is broken again in 14.04. Have other people encountered this?
