Whenever a port enters the passive state, it should act like a slaved
port in one respect. Incoming announce messages from the grand master
are supposed to reset the announce timer. This patch fixes the port
logic to properly maintain the passive state.

When there is a peer speaking PTPv1 in the network we want to silently ignore
the packets instead of flooding system log with error messages. At the same
time we still want to report malformed packets. For that we reuse standard
error numbers and do more fine-grained error reporting in packet processing
routines.

If messages are not freed, it is possible (with purposely crafted traffic) to trigger
a peer delay calculation which will use message's data from the previous round.

When a port makes a transition from one state to another, it resets all of
the message timers. While this is the correct behavior for E2E mode, the
P2P mode requires sending peer delay requests most of the time.
Even though all the other timer logic is identical, still making an
exception for P2P mode would make the code even harder to follow. So this
patch introduces two nearly identical helper functions to handle timer
reprogramming during a state transition.

Now that there are clock/port_management_set functions, the IDs that
GETs are handled for, like DEFUALT_DATA_SET, still need to be in the
case for sending NOT_SUPPORTED errors.

Adds port_management_send_error and clock_management_send_error to
avoid repeatedly checking the result of port_managment_send_error and
calling pr_err if it failed. Future patches send more mgmt errors so
this will avoid repeated code.

There really is no such state, but there probably should have been one.
In any case, we do have one just to make the code simpler, but this should
not appear in the management responses. This patch fixes the issue by
covering over our tracks before sending a response.

If the port resets itself after detecting a fault, then the polling events
for that port are no longer valid. This patch fixes a latent bug that
would appear if a fault and another event were to happen simultaneously.

A timeout of 15 seconds is not always acceptable, make it configurable.
By popular consensus, instead of using a linear number of seconds, use
the 2^N format for the time interval, just like the other intervals in
the PTP data sets. In addition to numeric values, let the configuration
file support 'ASAP' to have the fault reset immediately.
[RC - moved the handling of special case tmo=0 and added a break out
of the fd event loop in case the fds have been closed.
- changed the linear seconds option to log second instead.
- changed the commit message to reflect the final version. ]

This patch implements the capable flag as follows.
1. After calculating the neighbor rate, we are capable.
2. If we miss too many responses, we are incapable.
3. If we get multiple responses, we throw a fault,
and so we are also incapable.

This commit only provides helper functions that will implement the effect
of a port being not capable. We let the port be always 'capable' for now,
until we actually have added the details of that flag.

We use the follow_up_info to control behavior that is specific to the
802.1AS standard. In several instances, that standard goes against the
1588 standard or requires new run time logic that exceeds what can be
reasonably described as a 1588 profile.
Since we will need a few more run time exceptions in order to support
802.1AS, we introduce a helper function to identify this case, rather
than hard coding a test for follow_up_info, in order to be more clear
about it.

Because of an oversight in the event code, a port will not send peer delay

the issue by expanding this special, initial case.

The Linux kernel supports a hardware time stamping mode that allows
sending a one step sync message. This commit adds support for this mode
by expanding the time stamp type enumeration. In order to enable this
mode, the configuration must specify both hardware time stamping and set
the twoStepFlag to false.
We still do not support the one step peer delay request mechanism since
there is neither kernel nor hardware support for it at this time.

this patch changes sk_interface_phc to sk_get_ts_info, by allowing the function
to store all the data returned by Ethtool's get_ts_info IOCTL in a struct. A new
struct "sk_ts_info" contains the same data as well as a field for specifying the
structure as valid (in order to support old kernels without the IOCTL). The
valid field should be set only when the IOCTL successfully populates the fields.
A follow-on patch will add new functionality possible because of these
changes. This patch only updates the programs which use the call to perform the
minimum they already do, using the new interface.
