which is montonic but is not subject to any rate adjustments
and ticks at the same rate as the hardware clocksource.
boot: This is the boot clock (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) and is based on the
fast monotonic clock, but also accounts for time spent in
suspend. Since the clock access is designed for use in
tracing in the suspend path, some side effects are possible
if clock is accessed after the suspend time is accounted before
the fast mono clock is updated. In this case, the clock update
appears to happen slightly sooner than it normally would have.
Also on 32-bit systems, it's possible that the 64-bit boot offset
sees a partial update. These effects are rare and post
processing should be able to handle them. See comments in the
ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() function for more information.
boot: Same as mono. Used to be a separate clock which accounted
for the time spent in suspend while CLOCK_MONOTONIC did
not.
To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file.
