When tracing host and guest machines, both should use the same tracing clock for event timestamps. If a clock is specified as host tracing argument, with option "-C clock_name", the same is injected as guest tracing argument. If the user wants to use different tracing clocks, it can specify it using "-C clock_name" as guest tracing argument. In that case, the one specified by the user has higher priority.
