+2.2.29 Changing the Wall Clock Time during test execution
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are some tests that, for different reasons, might need to change the
+system-wide clock time. Whenever this happens, it is imperative that the clock
+is restored, at the end of test's execution, taking in consideration the amount
+of time elapsed during that test.
+
+In order for that to happen, struct tst_test has a variable called
+"restore_wallclock" that should be set to "1" so LTP knows it should: (1)
+initialize a monotonic clock during test setup phase and (2) use that monotonic
+clock to fix the system-wide clock time at the test cleanup phase.

Some tests that change the system-wide clock need to have a way to restore the correct time after their execution. This commit introduces a new field to tst_test struct called "restore_wallclock": it makes the test to save current realtime clock during setup phase, and, later, during cleanup, restore it to the appropriate time using a monotonic raw clock difference.
