In any case these are timelines I managed to dig out. Ok, it looks like something else than ntpd or chronyd is indeed setting the clock on your system. From the systemd code it seems the "Time has been changed" message is generated by timer with the TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET flag, which I think can be triggered by settimeofday(), clock_settime() and adjtimex() system calls, and other events like system resume, etc. As a quick check, does the following command print anything beside systemd and chronyd/ntpd? # for i in /proc/*/exe; do readelf -s $i 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'clock_settime\|settimeofday\|adjtimex' && readlink $i; done If that doesn't print anything interesting, you might want to consider running a systemtap script to see what processes are making the calls.
