-	  boot: This is the boot clock (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) and is based on the

-		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

 	To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file.
