Yes.

Interesting.

It's possible, but this looks like it might be a different issue.

A few questions on the dmesg:

I didn't see anything like this in the other logs.  Are these messages
something usual on HyperV VMs?

Can you resolve this address using gdb to a line of code?  Once inside
gdb do:

l *(timesync_onchannelcallback+0x153)
