Does anyone have this kind of entries in their dmesg log file ?

Since the 5.x kernel update I am getting this spurious entries in my dmesg logs …
How can I get ride of them ?
What is the cause of such behaviour ?
Any ideas are welcomed …

What version of systemd? Your profile shows you’re using the testing branch, so you should have 250-5.

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.

I confirm that I am using the systemd 250-5.

Although after reading the answer and wiki link indicated by @freggel.doe had to manually “mask” the
systemd-journald-audit.socket service.
Thanks for the fast reply …
