+config TIME_ALWAYS_BOOT_AT_EPOCH
+	bool "Always boot Linux at the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00)"
+	help
+	  Some systems attempt to read the initial system from a platform
+	  dependent "persistent clock".  As this might be confusing if there is
+	  no real persistent clock but some boot loader that uses a hard-coded
+	  timestamp, this config option allows to disable the initial system
+	  time setting and enforces the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC) as initial
+	  boot timestamp.
+
+	  This config option does not disable reads on the platform's
+	  persistent clock after resume (cp. timekeeping_resume()).
