Use the new asynchronous call to resolve addresses of NTP servers
configured by the server/peer directives. Introduce a callback to be
notified when the first resolving attempt ends to correctly finish
chronyd initialization (dumpfile reload and reference mode end).
This will be needed to prevent loading of dump files after sources have
already accumulated samples and possibly reference was already updated
when async resolving of sources is implemented.
The initstepslew code has its own minimal NTP implementation. Drop the
code, add a new initstepslew mode to the reference updating code and
use regular NTP sources with iburst flag for initstepslew addresses
instead. When an update is made or a source is found unreachable, log a
message, remove the initstepslew sources and switch to normal mode.
This reduces code duplication and makes initstepslew use features
implemented only in the main code like source combining or SO_TIMESTAMP
support.
Allow different hash functions to be used in the NTP and cmdmon
protocols. This breaks the cmdmon protocol compatibility. Extended key
file format is used to specify the hash functions for chronyd and new
authhash command is added to chronyc. MD5 is the default and the only
function included in the chrony source code, other functions will be
available from libraries.
Resolving is retried in increasing intervals (maximum is one hour)
until it succeeds or fails with a non-temporary error.
Unresolved sources are included in the activity report as offline
sources and the online command can be used to retry it immediately.
This could be improved by resolving in a separate thread/process
to avoid blocking.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
