Discussions around time virtualization are there for a long time.
The first attempt to implement time namespace was in 2006 by Jeff Dike.
From that time, the topic appears on and off in various discussions.

There are two main use cases for time namespaces:
1. change date and time inside a container;
2. adjust clocks for a container restored from a checkpoint.

“It seems like this might be one of the last major obstacles keeping
migration from being used in production systems, given that not all
containers and connections can be migrated as long as a time dependency
is capable of messing it up.” (by github.com/dav-ell)

The kernel provides access to several clocks: CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME. Last two clocks are monotonous, but the
start points for them are not defined and are different for each running
system. When a container is migrated from one node to another, all
clocks have to be restored into consistent states; in other words, they
have to continue running from the same points where they have been
dumped.

The main idea behind this patch set is adding per-namespace offsets for
system clocks. When a process in a non-root time namespace requests
time of a clock, a namespace offset is added to the current value of
this clock on a host and the sum is returned.

All offsets are placed on a separate page, this allows up to map it as 
part of vvar into user processes and use offsets from vdso calls.

Now offsets are implemented for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME
clocks.

Questions to discuss:

* Clone flags exhaustion. Currently there is only one unused clone flag
bit left, and it may be worth to use it to extend arguments of the clone
system call.

* Realtime clock implementation details:
  Is having a simple offset enough?
  What to do when date and time is changed on the host?
  Is there a need to adjust vfs modification and creation times? 
  Implementation for adjtime() syscall.
