I was curious why this wasn't a problem with focal/5.4. I took a look at the last cert run that used focal/5.4[*], and I see these errors in the logs as well. I then went back to the cert run that was used to award focal certification[**] and those errors do *not* appear there.
So either this is an intermittent failure, or likely one of 3 things happened in the interim: - The test changed (or was introduced) - The kernel changed - The firmware changed The test does not appear to be new - I have not checked if it has changed. The kernel version between these runs changed from 5.4.0-37.41-generic to 5.4.0-121.137-generic. A change to this kernel code was introduced in between, in 5.4.0-100.113-generic: commit 7dcfa07b500834c75a4f5043a43f409a3f02bd5e Author: Feng Tang <[email protected]> Date: Wed Nov 17 10:37:50 2021 +0800 x86/tsc: Add a timer to make sure TSC_adjust is always checked BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956381 commit c7719e79347803b8e3b6b50da8c6db410a3012b5 upstream. That causes the code that *might* print this warning to run every 10 minutes, instead of when the CPU enters idle. But the log shows these messages appearing every 28-29 seconds, so this being the cause seems unlikely. As for the firmware, the dmidecode output is identical between these runs, which suggests the firmware has not changed.
