I assume that you are referring to the following GitHub issue:

https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/criu/issues/341

As I understand, CRIU is currently using absolute time stamps when
writing to log files. These are affected by adjustments of
CLOCK_REALTIME and the idea of the enhancement is to use relative time
stamps instead (because they are not affected by such adjustments). For
more information see the man page of gettimeofday(2) and clock_gettime(2).

Could you please provide more information on what details/guidelines you
are looking for?

Also, I think that it would be better to have this discussion on GitHub
because it will make it easier for others (in the future) to find
information about this enhancement/issue.

Thanks,
Radostin
