Title:
  [21.04 FEAT] Server Time Protocol (STP) leap second handling - kernel

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For time synchronisation Linux currently supports Server Time Protocol (STP).
  STP was explicitly not used as time source for Linux system time, due to 
several reasons:
  - STP is not virtualized (neither z/VM, nor KVM have STP virtualization 
support)
  - missing leap second support for STP in Linux

  This feature implements leap second functionality for STP.

  Business Case:        
  HW support, z/OS interoperability

  
  This is the kernel part of the requested feature.
  Will be made available with kernel 5.10.

  Integrated via kernel update.
