This patch cleans up the error message for the Tx timestamp polling, and adds a
line which indicates where the bug might have originated. This should help a
user more easily diagnose what went wrong.

Instead of maintaining a table of precalculated values, use the
newly added set_tmo_random() function to set the delay request timeout.
It saves some memory and improves the timeout granularity, but has a
higher computational cost. It follows the requirements from section
9.5.11.2 of the spec.

According to 9.2.6.11 of the spec the ANNOUNCE_RECEIPT_TIMEOUT_EXPIRES

Add a new function for setting random timeout and use it in
port_set_announce_tmo().

Check the sanity of the synchronized clock by comparing its uncorrected
frequency with the system monotonic clock. When the measured frequency
offset is larger than the value of the sanity_freq_limit option (20% by
default), a warning message will be printed and the servo will be reset.
Setting the option to zero disables the check.
This is useful to detect when the clock is broken or adjusted by another
program.

Following command produces unexpected update rate.
# phc2sys -s eth0 -q -m -O0 -R1.0842021724855044e-19
This is caused by wrong validation of phc_interval related to
significant digits of double precision and phc_interval_tp.tv_sec
overflow.
To avoid these unwanted trouble, this patch limits lower bound of
phc_rate to 1e-9.
There is no profound meaning in the lower bound value. I just think
it's enough to actual use and it doesn't cause phc_interval_tp.tv_sec
overflow in not only 64bit environment but also 32bit environment.
Thereby, messy validation of phc_interval is no longer needed.

this patch uses grep to test whether the net_tstamp.h header has
HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC flag defined. If it doesn't then we can simply define
it with the correct value. This works because proper drivers should just report
that the value is not allowed if they don't support onestep mode. This is the
cleanest way to ensure that linuxptp will still work on kernels which have not
defined the one step flag, and also works for any distributions which backport
the feature.

Because of packet reordering that can occur in the network, in the
hardware, or in the networking stack, a follow up message can appear
to arrive in the application before the matching sync message. As this
is a normal occurrence, and the sequenceID message field ensures
proper matching, the ptp4l program accepts out of order packets.
This patch adds an additional check using the software time stamps
from the networking stack to verify that the sync message did arrive
first. This check is only useful if the sequence IDs generated by
the master might possibly be incorrect.

This patch adds a new timer for use in 802.1AS-2011 applications. When
running as a slave in gPTP mode, the program must monitor both announce

sync/follow up pair of messages.

Ken Ichikawa has identified a situation in which a sync message can be
wrongly associated with a follow up after the sequence counter wraps
around.
Port is LISTENING
Sync (seqId 0) : ignored
Fup (seqId 0) : ignored
Sync (seqId 1) : ignored
Port becomes UNCALIBRATED here
Fup (seqId 1) : cached!
Sync (seqId 2) : cached
Fup (seqId 2) : match
Sync (seqId 3) : cached
Fup (seqId 3) : match
...
Sync (seqId 65535) : cached
Fup (seqId 65535) : match
Sync (seqId 0) : cached
Fup (seqId 0) : match
Sync (seqId 1) : match with old Fup!!
Fup (seqId 1) : cached!
Sync (seqId 2) : cached
Fup (seqId 2) : match
Actually, I experienced 65500 secs offset every about 65500 secs.
I'm thinking this is the cause.
This patch fixes the issue by changing the port code to remember one
sync or one follow up, never both. The previous ad hoc logic has been
replaced with a small state machine that handles the messages in the
proper order.

ptp4l[939.687]: master offset -62464938 s2 freq -62431946 path delay 2728
The last follow up message arriving out of order is cached. Before the state
machine changes to UNCALIBRATED, all sync and follow up messages are discarded.
If we get into that state between a sync and follow up message, the latter is
cached. When there's no real roerdering happening, it's kept cached forever.
When we restart the master, it starts numbering the messages from zero again.
The initial synchronization doesn't take always the same amount of time, so it
can happen that we get into UNCALIBRATED a little bit faster than before,
managing to get the sync message with the sequenceId that we missed last time.
As it has the same sequenceId as the cached (old) follow up message, it's
incorrectly assumed those two belong together.
Flush the cache when changing to UNCALIBRATED. Also, do similar thing for other
cached packets.

Instead of using fixed constants, set them by the following formula from
the current sync to allow good performance of the servo even when the
sync interval changes in runtime and to avoid instability.
kp = min(kp_scale * sync^kp_exponent, kp_norm_max / sync)
ki = min(ki_scale * sync^ki_exponent, ki_norm_max / sync)
The scale, exponent and norm_max constants are configurable. The
defaults are chosen so there is no change to the previous default
constants of the servo with one second sync interval. The automatic
adjustment can be disabled by setting the pi_proportional_const and
pi_integral_const options to a non-zero value, but stability of the
servo is always enforced.
