Title:
  hwclock test failed on Power9 due to 0.x sec differences / time out
  waiting for time change

Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests:
  New
Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The hwclock test will fail on the Power9 system "baltar" due to a
  <0.02 second difference.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/ubuntu/autotest/client/shared/test.py", line 411, in _exec

  TestFail: Failed to set hwclock back to Warthog's birthday. Output of hwclock is '2004-10-20 04:09:59.582146+0000'

  Didn't see this on Power8 boxes

  Sometimes it will fail because "time out waiting for time change" on the same node:
  $ sudo /sbin/hwclock --set --date "2004/10/20 04:10:00"; sudo /sbin/hwclock
  hwclock: Timed out waiting for time change.

  Workaround for these is to add "sleep 1".
