Since commit fdfcabd79b ("ntp: drop support for long NTPv4 MACs"), the
parser doesn't need to check validify of MACs in NTPv4 packets to
distinguish them from extension fields. Move the parser to ntp_core to
avoid having a separate iteration looking for non-authentication
extension fields.
In the NTS-NTP client instance, maintain a local copy of the NTP address
instead of using a pointer to the NCR's address, which may change at
unexpected times.
Also, change the NNC_CreateInstance() to accept only the NTP port to
make it clear the initial NTP address is the same as the NTS-KE address
and to make it consistent with NNC_ChangeAddress(), which accepts only
one address.
The daemon transmit timestamps are precompensated for the time it takes
to generate a MAC using a symmetric key (as measured on chronyd start)
and also an average round-trip time of the Samba signing of MS-SNTP
responses. This improves accuracy of the transmit timestamp, but it
has some issues.
The correction has a random error which is changing over time due to
variable CPU frequency, system load, migration to a different machine,
etc. If the measured delay is too large, the correction may cause the
transmit timestamp to be later than the actual transmission. Also, the
delay is measured for a packet of a minimal length with no extension
fields, and there is no support for NTS.
Drop the precompensation in favor of the interleaved mode, which now
avoids the authentication delay even when no kernel/hardware timestamps
are available.
Add an option to enable NTS for an NTP source. Check for NTS-specific
extension fields and pass the packets to the NTS-NTP code in order to
enable the NTS client and server.
Move most of the authentication-specific code to a new file and
introduce authenticator instances in order to support other
authentication mechanisms (e.g. NTS).
