Currently, network /system cross-timestamping is performed in the
PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl. The PTP clock driver reads gettimeofday() and
the gettime64() callback provided by the driver. The cross-timestamp
is best effort where the latency between the capture of system time
(getnstimeofday()) and the device time (driver callback) may be
significant.
The getcrosststamp() callback and corresponding PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE
ioctl allows the driver to perform this device/system correlation when
for example cross timestamp hardware is available. Modern Intel
systems can do this for onboard Ethernet controllers using the ART
counter. There is virtually zero latency between captures of the ART
and network device clock.
The capabilities ioctl (PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS), is augmented allowing
applications to query whether or not drivers implement the
getcrosststamp callback, providing more precise cross timestamping.

All of the PHC drivers have been converted to the new methods. This patch
converts the three remaining callers within the core code and removes the
older methods for good. As a result, the core PHC code is ready for the
year 2038. However, some of the PHC drivers are not quite ready yet.

This patch changes the code to use the new method whenever implemented by
the PHC driver.

The ptp pin function programming does not allow calibration pin to change
function. This is problematic on hardware that uses the default calibration
pin for other purposes.
Removing this limitation does not impact calibration if userspace does not
reprogram the calibration pin.

This patch adds a pair of new ioctls to the PTP Hardware Clock device
interface. Using the ioctls, user space programs can query each pin to
find out its current function and also reprogram a different function
if desired.

This patch removes the large buffer from the stack of the system
offset ioctl and replaces it with a kmalloced buffer.

This patch adds an ioctl for PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) devices that allows
user space to measure the time offset between the PHC and the system
clock. Rather than hard coding any kind of estimation algorithm into the
kernel, this patch takes the more flexible approach of just delivering
an array of raw clock readings. In that way, the user space clock servo
may be adapted to new and different hardware clocks.

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.
The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
