does Linux report it like this? I couldn't find "invariant_tsc" in the Linux repo

yep, it should be constant_tsc.
our tsc_is_invariant is the same Linux X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC (which is syntetic bit in the x86_cap_flags)
x86_cap_flags is generated by mkcapflags.sh abd used by procfs to generate CPU flags.

I think that check for invariant_tsc in the /proc/cpuinfo is a bug in glibc tests suite code.
Glibc call cpuid() in the get_extended_indices() and treats CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8] as INVARIANT_TSC and check that invariant_tsc exists in the /proc/cpuinfo, while it is not exposed by the Linux kernel.

constant_tsc
