Remove leap status from the NTP sample and set it independently from
the sample accumulation in order to accept a leap second sooner when
samples are filtered.
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when the measurements are known to be no longer valid or accurate, e.g.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).
If authentication is not enabled in configuration, responses are not
expected to be authenticated. Handle such responses as having failed
authentication.
A case where this could happen is a misconfigured symmetric association
where only one peer has specified the other with a key. Before this
change synchronization would work in one direction and used packets
with an asymmetric length.
Add -a option to the sources and sourcestats commands to print all
sources, including those that don't have a resolved address yet. By
default, only sources that have a real address are printed for
compatibility. Remove the "210 Number of sources" messages to avoid
confusion. Also, modify the ntpdata command to always print only sources
with a resolved address.
The current default NTP era split passed the Unix epoch (~50 years ago),
which means the epoch converted to an NTP timestamp and back ends up in
the next NTP era (year 2106).
Fix the test to take into account the era split.
The test might run on different platforms. If the platform happens
to have a RTC that does exist but unable to have RTC_UIE_ON set the
test will fail, while the chrony code is actually good.
Examples of bad clocks are:
- ppc64el: rtc-generic
- arm64: rtc-efi
To avoid that extend the log message check on 101-rtc to accept
that condition as a valid test result as well.

An analysis by Tim Ruffing [1] shows that a length extension attack
adding valid extension fields to NTPv4 packets is possible with some
specific key lengths and hash functions using little-endian length like
MD5 and RIPEMD160.
chronyd currently doesn't process or generate any extension fields, but
it could be a problem in future when a non-authentication extension
field is supported.
Drop support for all RIPEMD functions as they don't seem to be secure in
the context of the NTPv4 MAC. MD5 is kept only for compatibility.

In the local reference mode, instead of returning the adjusted current
time as the reference time, return the same timestamp updated only once
per about 62.5 seconds.
This will enable chronyd to detect polling of itself even when the local
reference mode is active.
