From: Andrei Vagin <ava...@openvz.org>
Time Namespace isolates clock values.
The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.
CLOCK_REALTIME
System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC
Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
some unspecified starting point.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME
Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
that the system is suspended.
For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes time in
a container (CLOCK_REALTIME).
But in a context of the checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
bootime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified staring points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices, set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, we have to
guarantee that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that we need to be able to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC
and CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, what can be done by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.
