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
PDelay_Resp messages. Up until now, hardware with P2P one step has

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

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result of this behavior, when starting with an out of date initial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.

With rtnl socket we can track link status per port(except UDS port).
We can make sure we get the correct interface and latest status with function
port_link_status().

The calls to snprintf() to format /dev/phc%d use the wrong pattern.
That function always properly terminates the string with null.
However, the code passes a hard coded length of 31 to static arrays of
length 32. While this is not a bug, there are two issues here.
First, any (improbable) future increase in the array lengths would
have to also remember to fix up the snprintf() call site as well.
Secondly, the pattern of using buf[N] and then length=N-1 is
appropriate for strncpy(), but is useless for snprintf().

Poll for link up/down events. When a link goes down, the port becomes
faulty until the link goes up again. We keep the fault timer from the
existing fault detection, but a downed link prevents clear the fault.
The new state machine is depicted in this ascii art diagram:
+--------+ Fault +---------+
| |------------>| |
| UP | | FAULT |
| |<------------| |
+--------+ Timeout +---------+
A | /
| | /
Link-Up | | Link-Down /
| | /
| V /
+--------+ / Link-Down
| | /
| DOWN |<--------/
| |
+--------+
If the fault timer occurs in the DOWN state, we simply ignore it.
After all, without the link the port is useless.
There is one case where the new code changes the existing behavior.
If the link quickly does down and then up again while another fault
(and its timer) are active, then we will enter the UP state without
waiting for the fault timer expiration. However, this behavior is
acceptable because when a link goes up, you are starting with a clean
slate.

We activate on-step mode based on the "time_stamping" and
"twoStepFlag" configuration options. If twoStepFlag is false and HW
time stamping is enabled, we upgrade the time stamping mode variable
to one-step.
The code that tests the options and sets the one-step mode moved from
ptp4l.c into clock.c in commit 9b27664c ("clock: simplify the create
method."). However, that commit inadvertently moved the test after
the place where the time stamping mode is latched in a local variable.
As a result, one-step mode is not activated when configured.
This patch fixes the issue by keeping the local time stamping mode
variable up to date during the one-step test.

During the configuration rework, the announce span was wrongly converted
into a hard coded macro. In addition, the announceReceiptTimeout option
inadvertently became non-zero for the UDS port. As a result, the UDS port
sets a useless announce message timer, causing the code to close and reopen
the UDS port every few seconds.
This bug has an interesting history. It was first reported and fixed in
commit f36af8e0 ("uds: disable the accidentally enabled announce timer.").
That very fix was wrongly removed in commit 54f45063 ("port: change
'announce_span' into a macro."). Because of various code changes, this
bad commit cannot be simply reverted now.
This patch re-introduces the 'announce_span' variable and clears both it
and 'announceReceiptTimeout' for the UDS port, effectively disabling the
announce message timer.

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.
