The kernel currently doesn't support a linear adjustment with
programmable rate, extend the use of the kernel PLL with locked
frequency instead.
Set the PLL time constant according to the correction time corresponding
to the correction rate and corrected offset.
On kernels with nano PLL adjtime() is no longer used.
We want to correct the offset quickly, but we also want to keep the
frequency error caused by the correction itself low.
Define correction rate as the area of the region bounded by the graph of
offset corrected in time. Set the rate so that the time needed to correct
an offset equal to the current sourcestats stddev will be equal to the
update interval (assuming linear adjustment). The offset and the
time needed to make the correction are inversely proportional.
This is only a suggestion and it's up to the system driver how the
adjustment will be executed.
This is needed to keep sourcestats accurate when the actual frequency is
different from the requested frequency due to clamping (or possibly
rounding in future system drivers).
initiate_slew is called also from set_frequency which doesn't read
the remaining adjtime. This wasn't a problem before commit 8c0f3f4
as offset_register was 0.0 and initiate_slew immediately returned.
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.
Leap second status is accepted and forwarded to clients if majority
of selectable sources agree. The actual insertion/deletion is supported
only on Linux now.
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.
