I don't have time to run a grep at the moment but have looked at https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CLOCK_UPTIME&literal=1 which I think is good enough to show anything important. Most occurrences are constants in languages. There are a couple of small uses in code but not much e.g. https://sources.debian.org/src/rsyslog/8.2004.0-1/runtime/msg.c/?hl=3857#L3857 https://sources.debian.org/src/mactelnet/0.4.4-4/src/mactelnetd.c/?hl=837#L837 The important ones are gettimeofday/CLOCK_MONOTONIC and to a lesser extent CLOCK_REALTIME.
