Measure the interval since the start in order to provide a monotonic
time for periodical tasks not using timers like driftfile updates, key
refresh, etc. Return the interval in the double format, but keep an
integer remainder limiting the precision to 0.01 second to avoid issues
with very small increments in a long-running process.
This allows transmissions in symmetric mode to be scheduled
independently from client transmissions. This reduces maximum delay
in scheduling when chronyd is configured with a larger number of
servers.
Replace struct timeval with struct timespec as the main data type for
timestamps. This will allow the NTP code to work with timestamps in
nanosecond resolution.
Replace SCH_*InputFileHandler() functions with more general
SCH_*FileHandler(), where events are specified as a new parameter and
which will later support other file events, e.g. file ready for ouput
and exception.
The file handlers have two new parameters: file descriptor and event.
Timeout ID of zero can be now safely used to indicate that the timer is
not running. Remove the extra timer_running variables that were
necessary to track that.
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.
