This patch adds configuration file support for a table of unicast
masters. Each table lives in its own section and has a unique,
positive numerical ID. Entries in the table are a pair of transport
type and protocol address.
Each port may specify a table id to be used for unicast negotiation.
Tables may not be shared between ports, but nothing prevents table
entries from appearing in more than table.

If ptp4l is running as a boundary clock, and multiple master ports
share a hardware clock that is different than the slave port's
hardware clock, then phc2sys in autocfg mode will synchronize that
clock multiple times per sync loop, once per-port.
Example output when this happens:
CLOCK_REALTIME phc offset -9 s2 freq -355 delay 3635
eth9 phc offset 9 s2 freq +1762 delay 7488
eth8 phc offset 41 s2 freq +1985 delay 7424
eth7 phc offset 15 s2 freq +1952 delay 7440
eth6 phc offset 20 s2 freq +1059 delay 7440
eth1 phc offset 22 s2 freq +1783 delay 7424
eth12.400 phc offset 15 s2 freq -4207943 delay 7551
eth12.300 phc offset 388 s2 freq +2336645 delay 7536
eth12.200 phc offset 451 s2 freq +2516553 delay 7438
eth12.100 phc offset 268 s2 freq +64274 delay 7405
This is easily reproducible by adding VLANs to a single network
interface and configuring ptp4l to use those VLAN interfaces as PTP
ports.
This patch prevents this problem by introducing a new deduplicated
destination clock list to phc2sys. Each time phc2sys reconfigures,
the destination clock list is re-populated. In the synchronization
loop, phc2sys will only use the clocks in this list.
Example output of reconfiguration with this patch:
reconfiguring after port state change

selecting eth8 for synchronization
selecting eth7 for synchronization
selecting eth6 for synchronization
selecting eth1 for synchronization
selecting eth13.400 for synchronization
skipping eth13.300: eth13.400 has the same clock and is already selected
skipping eth13.200: eth13.400 has the same clock and is already selected

skipping eth12.100: eth12.400 has the same clock and is already selected
skipping eth13.500: eth13.400 has the same clock and is already selected
This patch was tested with autocfg mode and also when specifying source
and destination manually via commandline.

ptp4l runs clockcheck on an incoming PTP message before checking its
domain number. If the time on another domain is different, then
clockcheck will trigger spurious synchronization faults.
This patch reorders the logic so that clockcheck only runs on messages
in the same time domain.

Richard Hill reported an occasional NULL pointer deference in
port_delay_request() when in hybrid mode.
if (p->hybrid_e2e) {
struct ptp_message *dst = TAILQ_FIRST(&p->best->messages);
msg->address = dst->address;
...
}
The code assumes that the p->best->messages list can't be empty
because:
The function, port_delay_request(), is called only when
FD_DELAY_TIMER expires. That timer is only set by the function,
port_set_delay_tmo(), which is called:
1. from process_delay_resp(), but only when state is UNCALIBRATED
or SLAVE.
2. from port_e2e_transition(), but only when state is UNCALIBRATED
or SLAVE.
Looking at handle_state_decision_event(), a port can only enter
UNCALIBRATED or SLAVE when it has a valid foreign master record,
ie p->best->messages is not null.
A port also only clears p->best->messages when it leaves
UNCALIBRATED or SLAVE, at which point the FD_DELAY_TIMER is also
cleared.
*However* the p->best->messages list *can* be empty if the
FD_ANNOUNCE_TIMER and the FD_DELAY_TIMER expire at the same time. In
this case, the poll() call indicates events on both file descriptors.
The announce timeout is handled like this:
case FD_ANNOUNCE_TIMER:
case FD_SYNC_RX_TIMER:
if (p->best)
fc_clear(p->best);
So then the port_delay_request() call de-references the null
TAILQ_FIRST message pointer.
This patch fixes the issue by re-ordering the timer file descriptors
within the polling list.

Clearly indicate the value is the maximum offset for which clock skewing
will be used at the start. An offset of a lower value will be fixed by
frequency changes only, while a larger value will be fixed with an
initial clock jump. This matches similar wording found in the -S option
explanation.

According to 1588, PTP message loops are simply someone else's problem

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,

As we add more and more options, it is getting to be a chore to add

differ from the built in defaults.

When masterOnly is true, the port always returns NULL when computing
its best foreign master. As a result, the port will never enter the
SLAVE state, and the clock will ignore Announce messages received on
that port.
This attribute is specifically called out in G.8275.1 and G.8275.2,
and it is implied by the "master only" mode G.8265.1. In addition,
this option will probably appear in the next revision of IEEE 1588.
