Instead of following skew changes, adjust polling interval so that the
number of measurements used in the regression algorithm remains close to
a target value. It can be configured with a new polltarget option
(6 by default).
Double the number of samples that are used in the runs test. E.g. with 64
samples in regression the runs test will be tried over the 64 samples and
up to 64 previous samples. The minimum number of samples in now 4.
This improves the response with low-mid jitters by about 50%.
I tried running chronyd in valgrind and the result was that there are four
places where memory is not initialized. A patch fixing the errors is in the
attachment.
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.
