6cedd609b7 Introduce the sysclock_getsnapshot() and sysclock_snap2bintime() KPIs. The
sysclock_getsnapshot() function allows the caller to obtain a snapshot of all
the system clock and timecounter state required to create time stamps at a later
point. The sysclock_snap2bintime() function converts a previously obtained
snapshot into a bintime time stamp according to the specified flags e.g. which
system clock, uptime vs absolute time, etc.

These KPIs enable useful functionality, including direct comparison of the
feedback and feed-forward system clocks and generation of multiple time stamps
with different formats from a single timecounter read.

Committed on behalf of Julien Ridoux and Darryl Veitch from the University of
Melbourne, Australia, as part of the FreeBSD Foundation funded "Feed-Forward
Clock Synchronization Algorithms" project.

8451d0dd78 In order to maximize the re-usability of kernel code in user space this
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

7b9df13bcd there must be only one SYSINIT with SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY order
SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY should only be used to call
scheduler() function which turns the initial thread into swapper proper
and thus there is no further SYSINIT processing.
Other SYSINITs with SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER+SI_ORDER_ANY may get ordered
after scheduler() and thus never executed.  That particular relative
order is semi-arbitrary.

Thus, change such places to use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE.
Also, use SI_ORDER_MIDDLE instead of correct, but less appealing,
SI_ORDER_ANY - 1.

This is done in kern_ntptime, perhaps not the best place.
This is done using resettodr().

- make save period configurable via tunable and sysctl
- period of zero disables saving, setting a non-zero period re-enables

- do saving only if system clock is ntp-synchronized

fe18f3853e When ntp_gettime() was converted from a sysctl + wrapper to a system
call, its semantics were unintentionally changed.  It went from
returning the time state to returning 0 or -1.  Since 0 means time
normal, and non-zero effectively only shows up around leap seconds,
this went unnoticed until now.  At least unnoticed until someone was
trying to run a binary they didn't have source for and it was
misbehaving...

eac3c62b51 During a positive leap second, the tai_time offset should be
incremented at the start of the leap second, not after the leap second
has been inserted.  This is because at the start of the leap second,
we set the time back one second.  This setting back one second is the
moment that the offset changes.  The old code set it back after the
leap second, but that's one second too late.  The negative leap second
case is handled correctly.

called.  Otherwise (depending on a non-deterministic sort), the timecounter
code can be initialized before the clock rate has been set (on ia64) and it
assumes hz = 100, rather than the real value of 1024.  I'm not sure how much

e1d970f181 Improve the implementation of adjtime(2).
Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.

In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder.  If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.

The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.

Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.

This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.

44731cab3b Change the suser() API to take advantage of td_ucred as well as do a
general cleanup of the API.  The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API.  The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument.  The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0.  The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

2028c0cdb9 Revise timercounters to use binary fixed point format internally.
The binary format "bintime" is a 32.64 format, it will go to 64.64
when time_t does.

The bintime format is available to consumers of time in the kernel,
and is preferable where timeintervals needs to be accumulated.

This change simplifies much of the magic math inside the timecounters
and improves the frequency and time precision by a couple of bits.

I have not been able to measure a performance difference which was not
a tiny fraction of the standard deviation on the measurements.

stable with frequency offsets from -338.05 to +499.91 PPM.

were slower than 14.3132 MHz whereas it was perfectly happy to run
at 16.384 MHz, in other words [-340PPM ... +14.4%]

19c5221906 Don't use time_offset as a leaky bucket variable in hardpps(), this
resulted in vastly optimistic offset values reported to userland
(typically a factor 40+ too small).  Apart from that, the code had
two sign-bugs.

Apply the hardpps() phase with the right sign with a simply
scaling by integration interval.  (This may be too stiff at
long integration intervals, see below).

Allow pps_shiftmax to be reduced again.

Before this, the phase lock in hardpps() were broken, but due to
two bugs mostly cancelling out, it would end up basically working
with a large stochastic component.  Now it behaves as one would
expect: smooth and quiet.

It seems that pps_shiftmax above 7..9 somewhere makes the phaselock
too weak to hold onto random walk phase errors from a HP-105 OCXO,
which basically means that it is too weak for real-life use with
such integration times.  This is yet to be resolved.
