On the transmit path, the port-level code calls msg_sots_missing()
directly, but on receive this check is buried in the message layer.
With the coming addition of peer to peer one step, the ingress check
will need knowledge of the configured time stamping option. This
patch moves the check in order to accommodate the exceptional case.

I stumbled across a kernel commit that fixes the macro that convert
between file descriptors and clock ID types (see below). This patch
corrects the FD-to-clockid macro by casting to unsigned before
shifting.

posix-timers: Prevent UB from shifting negative signed value
Shifting a negative signed number is undefined behavior. Looking at the
macros MAKE_PROCESS_CPUCLOCK and FD_TO_CLOCKID, it seems that the
subexpression:
(~(clockid_t) (pid) << 3)
where clockid_t resolves to a signed int, which once negated, is
undefined behavior to shift the value of if the results thus far are
negative.

Make the log output a bit more clear by changing how we inform the user
when the local clock is the best master clock. This allows easier
parsing of the log and identifying when the local clock is being
selected as the best clock.

pmc_create() calls transport_create(), which sets the open function
for the interface 'iface' to raw_open(), if Layer 2 is used. The
immediate following call of transport_open() calls raw_open(), which
uses the field .ts_label for opening, instead of the field .name
(which is used in the other transport layers). Therefore, the
field .name is copied here into the field .ts_label .
[ RC - Actually ts_label should always be initialized. Made the
assignment of ts_label unconditional, regardless of the choice
of transport layer. ]

In a ptp unaware network (like the telecom profile for frequency sync
G.8265.1), both the RTD and the PDV can be substantially higher than
in a ptp aware network. To achieve more accurate measurements, the
rate may need to be configured higher to get more data and increase
the chance of lucky packets.
In a combination of a high configured rate of delay_req and high
RTD/PDV in network, the risk that the response from the previously
sent delay_req have not been received before a new delay_req is sent
also become high. In that case, the need of storing more than the
latest sent delay_req arise.
This patch adds a queue for sent delay requests so several request can
be ongoing in parallel. When a delay response is received, a matching
request will be searched for in the queue and after processed removed
from the queue.
The stored delay_req will be removed if older than 5 seconds. Check is
made before a new delay_req is sent or announce receipt tmo expires.

Convert a hardware timestamp to the internal tmv_t representation at
the earliest possible opportunity. This allows us to:
- eliminate multiple redundant calls to timespec_to_tmv()
- use tmv_add() instead of open-coded manipulation of a struct
timespec in ts_add()
- use tmv_to_Timestamp() instead of open-coded manipulation of a
struct timespec and struct Timestamp in ts_to_Timestamp()
- use tmv_is_zero() instead of open-coded manipulation of a struct
timespec in msg_sots_valid()

The function ts_to_timestamp() currently performs open-coded

than accepting a pointer to a struct Timestamp.

Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
The current code uses an ad hoc method of appending TLVs. When
constructing a message, the code computes the total PDU length by adding
the message size to the TLV size. By using the new API, this patch
simplifies message construction, letting each TLV add its own length
to the total.
As a result of the this change, the return value for the helper
functions, follow_up_info_append() and path_trace_append(), has
changed meaning. Instead of returning the TLV length, these functions
now provide an error code.
