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.

Add new time stamp processing modes to return raw delay and offset based
on the raw delay instead of the long-term filtered delay, and to return
also a weight of the sample. The weight is set to the ratio between the
two delays. This gives smaller weight to samples where the sync and/or
delay messages were delayed significantly in the network and possibly
include a large error.

This patch adds a configuration option that allows running a boundary clock
using "just a bunch of devices". Normally each port is probed to make sure
they all share the same PTP hardware clock, but this option will allow a
heterogeneous collection of devices, should the user really want it.

Always disable the clock sanity check when the ntpshm servo is used,
because it doesn't know when or how is the clock adjusted. Disable also
the kernel leap option as the process controlling the clock is
responsible for setting the kernel flag.

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.

Commit e425da2f inadvertently enabled the announce timer on the UDS port,
causing it to continually reopen the socket when in slave mode. This patch
fixes the issue by passing zero in the 'span' field of the new function,
set_tmo_random, which disables the timer again.

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.

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.

This patch adds support for using the configured_pi_f_offset servo option to ptp4l.
If "pi_f_offset_const 0.0" is specified in the config file, stepping on the first
update is prevented. If any other positive value is specified, stepping on the
first update occurs when the offset is larger than the specified value.

This patch modifies sk_receive in order to use poll() on POLLERR instead of the
tryagain loop as this resolves issues with drivers who do not return timestamps
quickly enough. It also resolves the issue of wasting time repeating every
microsecond. It lets the kernel sleep our application until the data or timeout arrives.
This change also replaces the old tx_timestamp_retries config value with
tx_timestamp_timeout specified in milliseconds (the smallest length of time poll
accepts). This does have the side effect of increasing the minimum delay before
missing a timestamp by up to 1ms, but the poll should return sooner in the
normal case where a packet timestamp was not dropped.
This change vastly improves some devices and cleans the code up by simplifying a
race condition window due to drivers returning tx timestamp on the error queue.

A timeout of 15 seconds is not always acceptable, make it configurable.
By popular consensus, instead of using a linear number of seconds, use
the 2^N format for the time interval, just like the other intervals in
the PTP data sets. In addition to numeric values, let the configuration
file support 'ASAP' to have the fault reset immediately.
[RC - moved the handling of special case tmo=0 and added a break out
of the fd event loop in case the fds have been closed.
- changed the linear seconds option to log second instead.
- changed the commit message to reflect the final version. ]

The Linux kernel supports a hardware time stamping mode that allows
sending a one step sync message. This commit adds support for this mode
by expanding the time stamp type enumeration. In order to enable this
mode, the configuration must specify both hardware time stamping and set
the twoStepFlag to false.
We still do not support the one step peer delay request mechanism since
there is neither kernel nor hardware support for it at this time.

this patch uses the new sk_get_ts_info data to check whether the selected
timestamping mode is supported on all ports. This check is not run if the port
data isn't valid, so it will only fail if the IOCTL is supported. This allows
for support of old kernels that do not support the IOCTL to still work as expected.

this patch changes sk_interface_phc to sk_get_ts_info, by allowing the function
to store all the data returned by Ethtool's get_ts_info IOCTL in a struct. A new
struct "sk_ts_info" contains the same data as well as a field for specifying the
structure as valid (in order to support old kernels without the IOCTL). The
valid field should be set only when the IOCTL successfully populates the fields.
A follow-on patch will add new functionality possible because of these
changes. This patch only updates the programs which use the call to perform the
minimum they already do, using the new interface.
