Using CLOCK_REALTIME as the source for event timestamps is crucial for some specific applications, particularly those requiring timetamps relative to a PTP clock, so provide an option to switch the event timestamp source from the default CLOCK_MONOTONIC to CLOCK_REALTIME. Note that CLOCK_REALTIME was the default source clock for GPIO until Linux 5.7 when it was changed to CLOCK_MONOTONIC due to issues with the shifting of the realtime clock. Providing this option maintains the CLOCK_MONOTONIC as the default, while also providing a path forward for those dependent on the pre-5.7 behaviour.

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.
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.
