Not a mock obviously but in the interest of getting things done on schedule I’d suggest running tests in a container with https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime and orchestrating edge cases like leap seconds external to the test suite itself.

Interestingly, libfaketime probably won't work in go due to their allergy to using libc on linux. I believe they only use syscalls directly for time-related functionality, meaning that any LD_PRELOAD hack won't work.
