The -p option for ptp4l, which specifies the PHC device, was added
before the ethtool get_ts_info ioctl had been invented. Today it does
not "force" the given device as the man page says. Instead this is a
legacy option only useful when running on older kernels.

The port code is not interested in the number of ports but rather the
clock type. Since the polymorphic clock object will be able to report
its own type, this patch changes the clock interface accordingly.

With the new configuration API, there is no need to pass the default data
set. Instead, the clock code can read the configuration directly. This
patch simplifies the clock create method by removing the 'dds' parameter
and moving the code that initialized the data set into the clock module.

The message lists are implemented using a TAILQ from queue(3). The heads
of the list must be initialized using the provided macros, since the field
called 'tqh_last' is non-zero in the initial state. This patch fixes a
potential null pointer dereference by properly initializing the queues.
Note that there is no actual bug in the current code, because it uses the
lists in such a way as to initialize 'tqh_last' before any dereference.

When the P2P link partner is using one shot mode, the residence time
in the peer (t3 - t2) is reflected in the correction field of the
peer delay response message, and t2 and t3 are both zero.
The function port_peer_delay() calls clock_peer_delay(), passing in
the zero valued 't2' to the 'rx' argument. The latter function then
stores the zero value in the 't4' field of the clock's tsproc
instance.
As a result, tsproc_update_offset() returns an error to
clock_synchronize(), and so a slave clock will never leave the
"uncalibrated" state.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the test for a non-zero 't4'
field within the tsproc.

When remote timestamps from P2P delay measurement are not known (the
remote processing time is saved in the correction field), they are set
to zero. Fix tsproc to not require non-zero t1 and t4.

The new configuration code inadvertently causes the UDS port to use P2P
messaging when P2P is set as a global option. This results in a never
ending series of "missing timestamp" error messages from the UDS port as
it vainly tries to send peer delay requests.
This patch fixes the bug by changing the UDS delay mechanism back to zero
as it was before. This is the appropriate setting for the UDS port,
because it never leaves the listening state and thus never sends an E2E
delay request.

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.

Add wrappers for malloc(), calloc(), realloc() and strdup() that check
if the allocation failed, print an error message and call exit(1). This
allows the caller to use the returned value without checking for errors.
Buggy or mis-configured masters can place bogus logMessageInterval values
in their delay response messages. This patch places reasonable limits on
the range of values that we will accept.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
The logMessageInterval field has an improbable range from 2^-128 to 2^127
seconds. The extreme ends cause an integer overflow in the calculation
of the "foreign master time window". Buggy or mis-configured foreign
masters advertising extreme values will cause incorrect announce message
aging.
This patch fixes the issue by adding thresholds for the bogus extremes.
