This patch adds code that sends an event messages received on one port out
all the other ports and calculates the residence time. The correction,
ingress port, and the original message are remembered in a TC transmit
descriptor. These descriptors are recycled in a memory pool in a similar
way to the message buffers.

interface which will be timestamping PTP packets and use it instead of
the master interface to check the timestamping capabilities and PHC.

This patch adds a new "NSM" program. The new code handles only one
outstanding NSM command at a time. If and when all four event time
stamps have arrived, the code prints the instantaneous estimated
offset without any averaging or smoothing.

This patch adds a source module that implements RT netlink sockets
for the purpose of link monitoring. Unfortunately the netlink API
offers no possibility for per-port notification. Instead it
forces us to use a de-multiplexing pattern.

This patch introduces generic code for adding and parsing new options.
The public 'get' methods return option values directly. Although the
API is easy to use, it does not provide error checking in case the
option does not exist or if there is a type mismatch.
Therefore the code performs a BIST to ensure that the options are
properly populated. In addition, the code terminates the program in
case of missing options or type mismatches. This heavy handed
approach is meant to catch errors during development and should never
trigger during normal usage.
As a first element, we include an option for specifying the UDP TTL.
Users are required to call 'config_init', and so this patch add that into
all three programs, ptp4l, phc2sys and pmc.

When running with Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), the correct clock
frequency is provided by the link partner. In this case, only the
offset needs correcting.
This patch provides SyncE nodes with an way to keep the frequency
correction dialed to zero.

timemaster is a program that uses ptp4l and phc2sys in combination with
chronyd or ntpd to synchronize the system clock to NTP and PTP time
sources. The PTP time is provided by phc2sys and ptp4l via SHM reference
clocks to chronyd/ntpd, which can compare all time sources and use the
best sources to synchronize the system clock.

This is an updated version of a script I wrote a couple years ago for
debugging the PHC when writing a new driver. I figured that it might be
handy for the LinuxPTP project to include, as it can give some insight
into the PHC directly. I have updated it to make use of the shared code
here, in order to reduce duplication. Hopefully this is of some use to
everyone.

This is a simple servo that provides the NTP SHM reference clock. It
doesn't make any clock adjustments and it always returns with the
unlocked state. It writes all samples to the SHM segment and another
process (e.g. chronyd or ntpd) is needed to read the samples and
actually synchronize the clock. The SHM segment number is set to the PTP
domain number to allow multiple SHM reference clocks running at the same
time.
This is mainly useful when other time sources are available on the
system (e.g. NTP, hardware reference clocks, or other PTP domains)
and a fallback to/from PTP is needed.

This servo uses linear regression to estimate current time and
frequency error. The number of points used in the regression is
variable (from 4 to 64 in powers of 2) and is selected by a long-term
statistic of the prediction error.
Future improvements could include tracking of sudden frequency changes
(e.g. due to temperature variations), better stability of the error
statistic when a large offset is corrected, options to set the speed of
the adaptation, minimum and maximum number of points, or an option to
prefer frequency accuracy over time accuracy.

Median filter has an advantage over moving average that it is much less
sensitive to outliers.
For instance, it allows much faster recovery from an external clock
time step which happened between receiving sync message and sending
delay_req message. The measured delay includes a large error, but the
median is still a good estimate of the delay and the first step
correction applied by the servo is right.
In this implementation the median update has linear time complexity.

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.

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.

This patch introduces a shell script to figure out the proper definitions
for the HAVE_CLOCK_ADJTIME and HAVE_ONESTEP_SYNC macros, as well as the
include path. The intent is to "do the right thing" for three different
user scenarios, namely cross compiling, compiling against a custom kernel,
and using a plain old disto kernel.

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.

Ever since upgrading to Debian 7.0, building linuxptp results in an
annoying error message. This is due to the fact that the directory
/usr/include/bits is no longer present, but our makefile expects it
to exist. This patch fixes the issue by telling grep not to complain
about missing files.
