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.
