Although it does not need to, the UDS port tries to allocate a filter,
just as any normal port would. Since the given length is zero, the
filter tries to allocate storage of size zero. When running with
uClibc, calloc(1, 0) returns NULL, but glibc is apparently returning
"a unique pointer value that can later be successfully passed to
free()." Both behaviors are allowed (see MALLOC(3)).
This patch works around the issue by letting the UDS port have a
filter of length one.

According to 802.1AS, ports are always expected to transmit announce
messages, even if they never want to become the grand master. Instead
of using a slave only BMC state machine as in 1588, 802.1AS offers a
"grand master capable" flag which allows clocks to not send sync
messages.
This patch keeps a port from transmitting sync (but not announce)
messages when there is no other master.

Add new options delay_filter and delay_filter_length to select the
filter and its length. They set both the clock delay filter and the port
peer delay filter. The default is now moving median with 10 samples.
Signed-off-by: Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@redhat.com>
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

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.

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.

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.
