// This files implements the calculation of the offset between the global monotonic clock and UNIX time. This value is
// known as |t1| in the calculation of "time origin timestamp" in the spec. This value needs to be calculated once and
// can be used in all subsequent Performance instances.
//
// However, if the clock is not fast enough, the export is undefined to signify that we should use Date.now() to get the
// time origin timestamp with millisecond accuracy, per spec.
