Pavel Tatashin 3eca993740 timekeeping: Replace read_boot_clock64() with read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset()
If architecture does not support exact boot time, it is challenging to
estimate boot time without having a reference to the current persistent
clock value. Yet, it cannot read the persistent clock time again, because
this may lead to math discrepancies with the caller of read_boot_clock64()
who have read the persistent clock at a different time.

This is why it is better to provide two values simultaneously: the
persistent clock value, and the boot time.

Replace read_boot_clock64() with:
read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset(wall_time, boot_offset)

Where wall_time is returned by read_persistent_clock() And boot_offset is
wall_time - boot time, which defaults to 0.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
