In fact, often the thermal design is not sufficient to cool the CPU at full load and limits can quickly be reached when a burst in load happens. This will even happen with technologies like RAPL limitting the long term power consumption of the package. Also, these limits are "softer", as Srinivas explains: "CPU temperature doesn't have to hit max(TjMax) to get these warnings. OEMs ha[ve] an ability to program a threshold where a thermal interrupt can be generated. In some systems the offset is 20C+ (Read only value). In recent systems, there is another offset on top of it which can be programmed by OS, once some agent can adjust power limits dynamically. By default this is set to low by the firmware, which I guess the prime motivation of Benjamin to submit the patch." So these messages do not usually indicate a hardware issue (e.g. insufficient cooling). Log them as warnings to avoid confusion about their severity.
