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.

Path trace TLVs and Follow-Up info TLVs might be mixed in among other
random TLVs. This patch fixes the parsing code to find these TLVs even
when multiple other TLVs are present.
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.

Although leaving the INITIALIZING state and clearing the FAULTY state
ASAP both result in a port entering the LISTENING state, still there
is no benefit from conflating the two. In the FAULTY case, the
current code actually skips the INITIALIZING state altogether.
This patch separates the two cases resulting in two benefits. First,
the check for ASAP fault status is only made when a fault is actually
present, unlike the present unconditional check. Second, this change
will allow us to cleanly support alternative state machines later on.

Looking at the fault logic in port_dispatch(), you might think that

you would be wrong, since that function always returns zero.
This patch removes the superfluous input error checking inside of
fault_interval() and changes the return type to void, making the
actual behavior explicit. Dropping the input check is safe because
that function has exactly two callers, both of whom always provide
valid inputs.

If a non-slave port on a boundary clock see an announce message, then it
must decide whether it should take on the MASTER or the PASSIVE role. When
the GM fields from the local clock are identical to those in the announce,
then the sender/receiver ports are used as a tie breaker.
Following a typographical error in 1588, the code wrongly uses the port
identity of the upstream parent as the "receiver" id. As a result, a port
that should be PASSIVE may choose MASTER instead. This patch fixes the
code to use local port id.

During the configuration rework, the announce span was wrongly converted
into a hard coded macro. In addition, the announceReceiptTimeout option
inadvertently became non-zero for the UDS port. As a result, the UDS port
sets a useless announce message timer, causing the code to close and reopen
the UDS port every few seconds.
This bug has an interesting history. It was first reported and fixed in
commit f36af8e0 ("uds: disable the accidentally enabled announce timer.").
That very fix was wrongly removed in commit 54f45063 ("port: change
'announce_span' into a macro."). Because of various code changes, this
bad commit cannot be simply reverted now.
This patch re-introduces the 'announce_span' variable and clears both it
and 'announceReceiptTimeout' for the UDS port, effectively disabling the
announce message timer.

The draft Enterprise Profile [1] specifies a hybrid E2E delay mechanism,
where the delay response message is sent "in kind". That is, if the
request is unicast, then the response is also unicast. Apparently this
scheme is already in widespread use in some industries. Also, it makes
sense, because those messages are of no interest to the other slaves in
the PTP network.
Because of the address work already in place, in turns out that adding
this mode is almost trivial. This patch introduces an "hybrid_e2e" option
that enabled the new mode.
