This patch add team interface activebackup mode support. As linux team use
genl netlink message, when we get a rtnl link change notify, we have to setup
a new genl socket and request the current active port.
v2: check nlmsg_len before copy rta_data
v3: a) Do not make rtnl_buf global as it may be freed by calling rtnl_close()
while we are using it in rtnl_link_status()
b) Reorder declarations of variables as reversed Christmas tree for
function rtnl_link_status()
c) remove rtnl_len
v4: Remove the first !rtnl_buf check in rtnl_link_status as it's alway true
v5: a) Re-order {nl, rtnl}_open and add function nl_close()
b) revert the v3_{a,c}, v4 changes, use nl_close to close genl fd
c) do not use len in get_team_active_iface() as it may mislead reader
v6: Return index at the end to fix fd leak in get_team_active_iface()

Add provision to disable delay requests. Designated masters who do not
need to calculate pdelay can use this option. This is required by
Automotive Profile to reduce network load.

This commit adds functionality to increase the sync and pdelay request
intervals once gptp synchronization has been achieved. This is useful
while running Automotive Profile where the network is usually static.
Here, we are assuming that the gPTP synchronization is achieved whenever
the last 'n' offsets calculated using the Sync messages are below a
certain threshold. Both, the number of offsets to consider and the offset
threshold are configurable.
In order to support the interval update, a new clock servo state
CLOCK_SERVO_STABLE has been added. The clock will transition to this
state whenever the above condition is satisfied. When this transition
occurs, the slave will send an "interval request" signaling message
asking the master to change the sync interval. It will also update the
pdelay request interval locally.
Four new config options have been added to provide this functionality:
- servo_offset_threshold: All the offset values being considered should
be below this value.
- servo_num_offset_values: number of previously received offset values
to consider.
- operLogSyncInterval: slave will ask the master to switch to this
interval for sending sync messages when the offset stabilizes.
- operLogPdelayReqInterval: the slave will set this interval for pdelay
request messages when the offset stabilizes.

This implements transmission and receipt of message interval requests.
Using this mechanism, a time-aware device can request change in sync,
link delay and announce intervals on the device connected on the other
end.
As part of the commit, we are also saving the initial values of Announce
and Sync Interval.

Make port_signaling_construct() to create a generic signaling
ptp_message. Move the unicast specific code to
port_signaling_uc_construct().
This is done to support the creation of Message Interval Request TLV (as
defined in 802.1AS Section 10.5.4.3). This TLV can be used to request
change in Announce Interval, Sync Interval or Link Delay Interval on a

IEEE 1588 specifies dropping signaling messages if the
targetPortIdentity does not match the receiving port. Up until now
the unicast code did check that field, but only for the unicast
transmission request and cancel operations.
This patch moves the target port identity check so that it applies to
each and every received signaling message.

In logic, when we want to switch phc, we should check if the new phc
index is valid instead of checking the previous one.
In reality, if we use linux team interface with activebackup mode. As
teamd is a userspace tool, it sets the new slave as active port after
receiving link change message. If we set current active port down and
another slave up. There is a race that we receive the new slave's link
up message while active port(ts_index) is still the old one. This means
we may use a link down interface as ts_index and get phc_index with -1.
If we update the p->phc_index to -1, there will be no possibility to
change it back to other value as we swith phc only when p->phc_index >= 0.
With this fix, we will not switch phc_index until receiving the real
active port(p->iface->ts_info.phc_index >= 0) update message.

The manpage for recvmsg says -1 will be returned on error, Zero indicates an
"orderly shutdown", presumably only in case of stream sockets.
Further, UNIX Network Programming, Vol 1 says ".. a return value of 0 from
recvfrom is acceptable for a datagram protocol"
Such packets have been observed in the wild, aimed at PTP's multicast
address and port, possibly related to malformed management queries.
Patch to properly check return from recvmesg and not trigger the fault
codepath. Instead, such packets are treated as "Bad Message" the same as
non-zero but still too-short UDP payloads.

Commit c8107c8d ("config: Add a configuration option for TC mode.")
added a new TC mode. An early version of the patch series included a
new '-t' command line option, but this was dropped considering the
fact that long options are always available. IOW the TC user can
simply add '--clock_type=P2P_TC' to the command line, making the
single dash option redundant.

non-existing option.

The "inhibit_announce" and "ignore_source_id" options were introduced
in order to support the automotive profile. That profile happens to
specify using the peer to peer delay mechanism, but there is no reason
to restrict them to that mechanism. As it now stands, enabling these
two options prevents E2E slaves from synchronizing. This patch fixes
the issue by checking the "ignore_source_id" option when accepting E2E
delay response messages.

This adds config option to specify static roles for master and slave
in the Best Master Clock Algorithm. This is the case for Automotive
Profile where networks are mostly static and role for each device is
known in advance.
masterOnly and slaveOnly will be used to determine the roles for the
devices. Since masterOnly is a per-port config and slaveOnly is a global
config option, role assignment will be slightly odd in case of bridges.
If slaveOnly is set to 1, all the ports will be in slave roles except
for the ones where masterOnly is set to 1. These ports will assume the
master role.
Two new FSMs which will be used for master and slave roles for this
config option have also been added.

If set to 'true', this unconditionally sets the asCapable variable. The
