As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:

* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
  of suspending (Genki Sky).  [Verified that that's because systemd uses
  CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]

* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
  systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
  (Mike Galbraith).

* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
  after resume 50% of the time (Pavel).  [May be because of systemd.]

* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
  system resume (Pavel).

* Full system hang during resume (me).  [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]

That happens on debian and open suse systems.

It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

boot:
Same as mono. Used to be a separate clock which accounted
for the time spent in suspend while CLOCK_MONOTONIC did
not.
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.
To set a clock, simply echo the clock name into this file::
