This commit adds functionality to increase the sync and pdelay request
intervals once gptp synchronization has been achieved. This is useful
while running Automotive Profile where the network is usually static.
Here, we are assuming that the gPTP synchronization is achieved whenever
the last 'n' offsets calculated using the Sync messages are below a
certain threshold. Both, the number of offsets to consider and the offset
threshold are configurable.
In order to support the interval update, a new clock servo state
CLOCK_SERVO_STABLE has been added. The clock will transition to this
state whenever the above condition is satisfied. When this transition
occurs, the slave will send an "interval request" signaling message
asking the master to change the sync interval. It will also update the
pdelay request interval locally.
Four new config options have been added to provide this functionality:
- servo_offset_threshold: All the offset values being considered should
be below this value.
- servo_num_offset_values: number of previously received offset values
to consider.
- operLogSyncInterval: slave will ask the master to switch to this
interval for sending sync messages when the offset stabilizes.
- operLogPdelayReqInterval: the slave will set this interval for pdelay
request messages when the offset stabilizes.

I have reduced the requirements for the -p option to accept
any type of device. With this it should be possible to use
ptp4l to syncronize any clock device that implements the kernel
POSIX clock interface.

This scenario will only be encountered when the clock transitions to the
slave state without knowing who the master is.
This will result in a segfault for BMCA with designated master and slave
states (to be added in upcoming patches).

Currently the clockIdentity is generated from the mac address of the first
interface/port in config file. This patch add the possibility to set it in
config file.
The reason is if the stack is restarted with a different set of ports, it
may be circumstances when clockIdentity needs to be equal as before
restart even if the port setup is different.

The field is redundant with the length tlv_list. Replace it with a
function msg_tlv_count() instead. This iterates over the tlv_list. The
computational overhead should be small, because the lists are very short
and the tlv_count is only used in management paths (yet).

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.

The Telecom Profiles G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 have invented a new
per-port and per-clock attribute, not in 1588, called "localPriority".

data set comparison algorithm.

When using long chains of transparent clocks, the recommended practice is
to measure the rate ratio without adjusting the local clock. Then the
residence times should be corrected to reflect the master's frequency.
This patch expands the clock_rate_ratio() method to provide the estimated
ratio when the clock is free running.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
If the "free_running" option is set, the "no adjust" calculates and
prints an estimation of the phase and frequency offsets to the remote
master. Because the phase estimate requires a delay measurement, this
calculation is not performed without having the delay estimate first.
However, a typical transparent clock application will want to use the
frequency offset to correct the residence times to match the master's
frequency.
This patch adds a call to the "no adjust" routine even if no valid
delay measurement has been made.

Up until now, one step operation was controlled by a combination of
options, namely time_stamping=hardware with twoStepFlag=0. The
introduction of peer to peer one step makes the situation a bit more
complicated.
This patch adds support for setting the one step options directly by
using the "time_stamping" option. The "twoStepFlag" is adjusted
automatically if needed. The legacy behavior for Sync message one
step is preserved.

The 1588 standard defines one step operation for both Sync and

The UDS port is not expected to be used by PTP clocks and forwarding of
management messages to the port can be limited to responses.

Now the ts label will be either the bond active slave or the interface
name, which is the exactly interface we need to get ts info.
When the link down/up or there is a fail over and ts_label changed, the
phc index may also changed. So we need to check get new ts info and check
clock_required_modes. We will set the link to LINK_DOWN by force if
the new ts_label's timestamp do not support required mode.
If all good, then we set phc index to new one. Also sync clock interval
after switch phc.

Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
When acting as a slave, we accept the foreign master's advertised
TAI-UTC offset for as long as that master is present. However, when
the master disappears, we fall back to the initial offset value. As a
result of this behavior, when starting with an out of date initial
offset, losing a foreign master causes a sudden UTC offset error (in
phc2sys for example) in the range of whole seconds.
This patch fixes the issue by remembering the UTC offset when assuming
the slave role.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
The clock code uses two different variables to store the TAI-UTC
offset. One variable represents the compile time, configuration file,
or command line initial UTC offset, while the other is used when
taking on the GM role and is settable at run time. However, making
this distinction makes no sense. This patch simplifies and clarifies
the code by using a single variable for the offset.
