Adds option -P to chronyd on MacOS X which can be used to enable the
thread time constraint scheduling policy. This near real-time scheduling
policy removes a 1usec bias from the 'System time' offset.
On NetBSD programs with write access to /dev/clockctl can adjust or set
the system clock without the root privileges. Add a function to drop the
privileges and check if the process has write access to the device to
get a more descriptive error message when the chrony uid/gid doesn't
match the owner of the device.
The attached patch adds support for mlockall() as well as the SCHED_FIFO
real-time scheduler. It should result in reduced (and more consistent)
latency. Usage is documented in all the documents.
Attached is a patch adding a linux capabilities support to chronyd. It
adds -u option which can be used to specify the user which chronyd
should switch to.
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.
