Update the serverstats response to use the new 64-bit integers.
Don't define a new value for the response as it already had an
incompatible change since the latest release (new fields added for
timestamp counters).
Allow messages to have severity set to INFO or DEBUG depending on the
context in which they are made to allow logging important changes made
from chronyc or sourcefile, but not spam the system log if those changes
are normally expected (e.g. specified in the config).
Add a new test for maximum delay using a long-term estimate of a
p-quantile of the peer delay. If enabled, it replaces the
maxdelaydevratio test. It's main advantage is that it is not sensitive
to outliers corrupting the minimum delay.
As it can take a large number of samples for the estimate to reach the
expected value and adapt to a new value after a network change, the
option is recommended only for local networks with very short polling
intervals.
In the FreeBSD-specific code checking for a bound IPv4 socket, make
sure it is not a Unix domain address to avoid reading uninitialized
IP-specific fields.
This fixes an error reported by valgrind.
Add "extfield F323" option to include the new extension field in
requests. If the server responds with this field, use the root
delay/dispersion and monotonic timestamp. Accumulate changes in the
offset between the monotonic and real-time receive timestamps and use
it for the correction of previous offsets in sourcestats. In the
interleaved mode, cancel out the latest change in the offset in
timestamps of the previous request and response, which were captured
before the change actually happened.
Report the number of received interleaved requests and current timestamp
count with their span.
Expand the serverstats description in chronyc man page.
When separate client and server instances of chronyd are running on one
computer (e.g. for security or performance reasons) and are synchronized
to each other, the server instance provides a reference ID based on the
local address used for synchronization of its NTP clock, which breaks
detection of synchronization loops for its own clients.
Add a "copy" option to specify that the server and client are closely
related, no loop can form between them, and the client should assume the
reference ID and stratum of the server to fix detection of loops between
the server and clients of the client.
On FreeBSD, the source address cannot be specified when sending a
message on a socket bound to a non-any IPv4 address, e.g. in default
configuration 127.0.0.1. In this case, make the address unspecified.
This is similar to commit 6af39d63aa ("ntp: don't use IP_SENDSRCADDR
on bound socket").
Fixes: f06c1cfa97 ("cmdmon: respond from same address")
Before sending a cmdmon response, make sure it is not longer than the
request to avoid amplification in case the response/padding length is
incorrectly specified for a request.
After commit e49aececce ("socket: don't set interface for sent
packets") the NTP and cmdmon server stopped responding to requests from
link-local addresses.
Set the interface specifically for packets sent to a link-local address.
Revert commit e49aececce ("socket: don't set interface for sent
packets") to allow the interface to be selected for outgoing packets,
but don't set it in the callers yet.
Add binddevice, bindacqdevice, and bindcmddevice directive to specify
the interface for binding the NTP server, NTP client, and command socket
respectively.
As a Linux-specific feature, allow sockets to be bound to a device using
the SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option. The CAP_NET_RAW capability is
required for setting the option.
Allow an IP family to be specified in the socket initialization in order
to globally disable the other family. This replaces the ntp_io and
cmdmon code handling the -4/-6 options and fixes a case where the NTP
client could still use a disabled family if the source was specified
with an IP address.
The selection options returned as flags are not reported by the
client and will be better reported in a separate command with other
selection-specific data.
Refactor the client record and clientlog API to reuse more code between
different services and enumerate the services instead of hardcoding NTP
and cmdmon.
Add a new field to the CLIENT_ACCESSES_BY_INDEX request to specify the
minimum number of NTP or cmdmon packets for a client to be reported.
Add -p option to the chronyc clients command to specify the threshold
(by default 0). This option can be used to minimize the number of cmdmon
requests when interested only in clients sending a large number
of requests.
Add a flag to the CLIENT_ACCESSES_BY_INDEX request to reset the
NTP/cmdmon hits/dropped counters after reporting the current values.
Add -r option to the chronyc clients command to perform the reset. This
should make it easier to find clients that send large number of requests
over short periods of time.
Don't require the caller to provide a SCK_Message (on stack). Modify the
SCK_ReceiveMessage*() functions to return a pointer to static buffers,
as the message buffer which SCK_Message points to already is.
The reset command drops all measurements and switches the reference to
the unsynchronised state. This command can help chronyd with recovery
when the measurements are known to be no longer valid or accurate, e.g.
due to moving the computer to a different network, or resuming the
computer from a low-power state (which resets the system clock).
Allow the nts and ntsport options to be specified for sources added from
chronyc. This is an incompatible change in the request, but there was no
release using the new REQ_ADD_SOURCE command yet.
