+/**
+ * ktime_get_boot_fast_ns - NMI safe and fast access to boot clock.
+ *
+ * To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
+ * separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
+ * protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:
+ *
+ * (1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
+ * but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
+ * is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
+ * earlier:
+ * CPU 0 CPU 1
+ * timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
+ * __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
+ * timestamp();
+ * timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);
+ *
+ * (2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
+ * partially updated. Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
+ * should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.
