Certain use cases want to use CLOCK_BOOTTIME or CLOCK_REALTIME rather than CLOCK_MONOTONIC, instead of the default CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Add an IORING_TIMEOUT_BOOTTIME and IORING_TIMEOUT_REALTIME flag that allows timeouts and linked timeouts to use the selected clock source. Only one clock source may be selected, and we -EINVAL the request if more than one is given. If neither BOOTIME nor REALTIME are selected, the previous default of MONOTONIC is used.

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.
