On Gentoo it is a program called swclock.  Just look at what your
systemd runs early at boot time.

swclock runs on shutdown and touches the current time on the file:
 /run/openrc/shutdowntime

On boot it reads the timestamp on that file and set the system clock
to that time.

systemd probably does it in some similar, using some strange
convoluted logic...
