read_persistent_wall_and_boot_offset() is called during boot to read both the persistent clock and also return the offset between the boot time and the value of persistent clock. Change the default boot_offset from zero to local_clock() so architectures, that do not have a dedicated boot_clock but have early sched_clock(), such as SPARCv9, x86, and possibly more will benefit from this change by getting a better and more consistent estimate of the boot time without need for an arch specific implementation.

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
