2020-05-25ptp_clock: Let the ADJ_OFFSET interface respect the ADJ_NANO flag for PHC ↵Richard Cochran
devices. In commit 184ecc9eb260d5a3bcdddc5bebd18f285ac004e9 ("ptp: Add adjphase function to support phase offset control.") the PTP Hardware Clock interface expanded to support the ADJ_OFFSET offset mode. However, the implementation did not respect the traditional yet pedantic distinction between units of microseconds and nanoseconds signaled by the ADJ_NANO flag. This patch fixes the issue by adding logic to handle that flag.

2020-03-30ptp: Avoid deadlocks in the programmable pin code.Richard Cochran
The PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) subsystem offers an API for configuring programmable pins. User space sets or gets the settings using ioctls, and drivers verify dialed settings via a callback. Drivers may also query pin settings by calling the ptp_find_pin() method. Although the core subsystem protects concurrent access to the pin settings, the implementation places illogical restrictions on how drivers may call ptp_find_pin(). When enabling an auxiliary function via the .enable(on=1) callback, drivers may invoke the pin finding method, but when disabling with .enable(on=0) drivers are not permitted to do so. With the exception of the mv88e6xxx, all of the PHC drivers do respect this restriction, but still the locking pattern is both confusing and unnecessary. This patch changes the locking implementation to allow PHC drivers to freely call ptp_find_pin() from their .enable() and .verify() callbacks.

2020-01-14ptp: free ptp device pin descriptors properlyVladis Dronov
There is a bug in ptp_clock_unregister(), where ptp_cleanup_pin_groups() first frees ptp->pin_{,dev_}attr, but then posix_clock_unregister() needs them to destroy a related sysfs device. These functions can not be just swapped, as posix_clock_unregister() frees ptp which is needed in the ptp_cleanup_pin_groups(). Fix this by calling ptp_cleanup_pin_groups() in ptp_clock_release(), right before ptp is freed. This makes this patch fix an UAF bug in a patch which fixes an UAF bug.

Here cdev is embedded in posix_clock which is embedded in ptp_clock. The race happens because ptp_clock's lifetime is controlled by two refcounts: kref and cdev.kobj in posix_clock. This is wrong. Make ptp_clock's sysfs device a parent of cdev with cdev_device_add() created especially for such cases. This way the parent device with its ptp_clock is not released until all references to the cdev are released. This adds a requirement that an initialized but not exposed struct device should be provided to posix_clock_register() by a caller instead of a simple dev_t. This approach was adopted from the commit 72139dfa2464 ("watchdog: Fix the race between the release of watchdog_core_data and cdev"). See details of the implementation in the commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char devs with a struct device").

struct timex is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of timex with y2038 safe __kernel_timex. Note that struct __kernel_timex is an ABI interface definition. We could define a new structure based on __kernel_timex that is only available internally instead. Right now, there isn't a strong motivation for this as the structure is isolated to a few defined struct timex interfaces and such a structure would be exactly the same as struct timex.

2017-08-01ptp: introduce ptp auxiliary workerGrygorii Strashko
Many PTP drivers required to perform some asynchronous or periodic work, like periodically handling PHC counter overflow or handle delayed timestamp for RX/TX network packets. In most of the cases, such work is implemented using workqueues. Unfortunately, Kernel workqueues might introduce significant delay in work scheduling under high system load and on -RT, which could cause misbehavior of PTP drivers due to internal counter overflow, for example, and there is no way to tune its execution policy and priority manuallly. Hence, The kthread_worker can be used insted of workqueues, as it create separte named kthread for each worker and its its execution policy and priority can be configured using chrt tool. This prblem was reported for two drivers TI CPSW CPTS and dp83640, so instead of modifying each of these driver it was proposed to add PTP auxiliary worker to the PHC subsystem. The patch adds PTP auxiliary worker in PHC subsystem using kthread_worker and kthread_delayed_work and introduces two new PHC subsystem APIs: - long (*do_aux_work)(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp) callback in ptp_clock_info structure, which driver should assign if it require to perform asynchronous or periodic work. Driver should return the delay of the PTP next auxiliary work scheduling time (>=0) or negative value in case further scheduling is not required. - int ptp_schedule_worker(struct ptp_clock *ptp, unsigned long delay) which allows schedule PTP auxiliary work. The name of kthread_worker thread corresponds PTP PHC device name "ptp%d". Signed-off-by: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Note that the clock_getres() interface has also been changed to use timespec64 even though this particular interface is not affected by the y2038 problem.

2016-11-09ptp: Introduce a high resolution frequency adjustment method.Richard Cochran
The internal PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) interface limits the resolution for frequency adjustments to one part per billion. However, some hardware devices allow finer adjustment, and making use of the increased resolution improves synchronization measurably on such devices. This patch adds an alternative method that allows finer frequency tuning by passing the scaled ppm value to PHC drivers. This value comes from user space, and it has a resolution of about 0.015 ppb. We also deprecate the older method, anticipating its removal once existing drivers have been converted over.

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is presented as a standard POSIX clock. The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via the sysfs and by a character device.
