I added this message to the Linux kernel near the end of 1993. There is
a companion message that indicates the removal of the leap second -- but
this has never been seen (except in testing!).
In retrospect, it isn't clear that jumping the clock by a second was the
right decision, but, at the time, it was the "obvious" thing to do.

Fellow time-nuts,
While not fancy by any means, my laptop captured the leap-second being
inserted by this message in the /var/log/syslog:
Jan 1 00:59:59 greytop kernel: [78458.839942] Clock: inserting leap
second 23:59:60 UTC
