Builds
- Upgrade to autogen-5.18.5pre1
- from 4.2.6p3-RC11: Bump minimum Automake version to 1.11, required for
AM_COND_IF use in LIBOPTS_CHECK.
- Automake-1.12 wants us to use
AM_PROG_AR.
- Use a single set of Automake options for each package in
configure.ac AM_INIT, remove Makefile.am AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS= lines.
- Enable all relevant
automake warnings.
- from 4.2.6p3-RC12: Relax minimum Automake version to 1.10 with updated
libopts.m4.
- Try bison-3.0.2 instead of bison-2.5.
- Upgrade to libevent-2.1.3-alpha-dev.
- Correct
event_base_gettimeofday_cached() workaround code in sntp to work with corrected libevent.
- Allow for version suffix in
libevent in ntp_libevent.m4.
- Fix
make distcheck with --enable-libevent-regress problem with unwritable $srcdir.
- Don’t build
libevent with openssl support. Right now, libevent doesn’t use pkg-config to find openssl’s installation location.
- Add missing
--enable-local-libevent help to top-level configure.
- Update
libevent --disable-libevent-regress handling to work when building libevent using mingw.
- Fix
make distcheck break in libevent/sample caused by typo.
libevent: When building on systems with CLOCK_MONOTONIC available, separate the internal timeline (possibly counting since system boot) from the gettimeofday() timeline in event_base cached timevals. Adds new event_base_tv_cached() to retrieve cached callback round start time on the internal timeline, and changes event_based_gettimeofday_cached() to always return times using the namesake timeline. This preserves the benefit of using the never-stepped monotonic clock for event timeouts while providing clients with times consistently using gettimeofday().- Update to libopts-40.2.15.
- From 4.2.6p4:
libopts/file.c fix from Bruce Korb (arg-type=file).
- Move
m4 directory to sntp/m4.
- Share a single set of
genver output between sntp and the top level.
- Share a single set of
autogen included .defs in sntp/include.
- Share a single set of
build-aux scripts (e.g. config.guess, missing).
- Add
ntp_libntp.m4 and ntp_ipv6.m4 to reduce configure.ac duplication.
- Warn and exit
build/flock-build if bootstrap needs to be run.
- Update the building of OS-specific programs.
- Add
--enable-c99-sprintf to configure args for -noopenssl variety of flock-build to avoid regressions in (v)snprintf() replacement.
- Add
--disable-thread-support to one flock-build variation.
- Avoid invoking
config.status twice in a row in build script.
- Correct
msyslog.c build break on Solaris 2.9 from #ifdef/#if mixup.
- Correct
./build on systems without gtest available.
- Use
make V=0 in build script to increase signal/noise ratio.
- Avoid race with parallel builds using same source directory in
scripts/genver by using build directory for temporary files.
- From 4.2.6p1-RC6: Correct
SIMUL=4 ./flock-build -1 to prioritize -1/--one.
- Fix warnings seen on FreeBSD 9.
- Fix check for
-lipv6 on HP-UX 11.
- Fix for openssl
pkg-config detection eval failure.
make V=0 and configure --enable-silent-rules supported.- Default to silent
make rules, override with make V=1 or ./configure --disable-silent-rules.
- Correct
--with-openssl-incdir defaulting with pkg-config.
- Default
--with-openssl-libdir and --with-openssl-incdir to the values from pkg-config, falling back on our usual search paths if pkg-config is not available or does not have openssl.pc on PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
- Avoid overwriting user variable
LDFLAGS with OpenSSL flags, instead they are added to LDFLAGS_NTP.
- Cleanup to the new
scripts/*/Makefile.am files.

- Remove extra
nlist check from configure.ac.
- Clean up
configure.ac.
- Cleanup
configure.ac’s TSYNC PCI section.
- from 4.2.6p3-RC12: Clean up
m4 quoting in configure.ac, *.m4 files, resolving intermittent AC_LANG_PROGRAM possibly undefined errors.
- Clean up missing
;; entries in configure.ac.
configure.ac: add --disable-autokey, #define AUTOKEY to enable future support for building without Autokey, but with OpenSSL for its digest
algorithms (hash functions). Code must be modified to use #ifdef AUTOKEY instead of #ifdef OPENSSL where appropriate to complete this.
sntp
- Improve
sntp KoD data file fopen() error message.
- Fix
ntpsweep to use sntp instead of ntpdate, from Oliver Kindernay.
- Bump
sntp/include/autogen-version.def.
EEXIST is OK for mkdir() in sntp/kod_management.c.- Document a tricky
malloc() of dns_ctx in sntp.
- Clean up testing/debugging of fix for Bug 938 from
sntp/main.c.
- In
sntp/m4/ntp_openssl.m4, Support multiple package names for the crypto library. Add legacy support for -Wl,-rpath.
- Change the link order for
ntpsntpd.
- Update
sntp tests to track the change of root dispersion to synchronization distance.
- Restore the original
CLOCK_MONOTONIC output format in sntp.
sntp documentation and behavior improvements suggested by Steven Sommars.- Have
sntp report synchronization distance instead of root dispersion.
sntp: change -h/--headspace to -g/--gap, and change the default gap from 10 to 50ms- Backward Incompatible from 4.2.6p4:
sntp: -l/--filelog -> -l/--logfile, to be consistent with ntpd.
- remove old
binsubdir stuff from SNTP, as NTP_LOCINFO does that now.
- Fix warnings in
ntp_request.c Bug 1973 oversight and sntp/main.c.
- (CID 159, apparent overrun due to union, actually correct).
- Rename file containing 1.xxxx ChangeSet revision from version to scm-rev to avoid invoking GNU make implicit rules attempting to compile
version.c into version. Problem was with sntp/version.o during make distcheck after fix for spurious sntp rebuilds.
- Move
sntp last in top-level Makefile.am SUBDIRS so that the libevent tearoff (if required) and sntp are compiled after the rest.
- Correct spurious
sntp rebuilds triggered by a make misperception sntp/version was out-of-date relative to phony target FRC.version.
- Remove
libevent-cfg from sntp/Makefile.am.
- Avoid relying on remake rules for routine
build/flock-build for libevent as for the top-level and sntp subproject.
- Move “can’t write KoD file” warning from
sntp shutdown to startup.
- Convert
sntp to libevent event-driven socket programming. Instead of blocking name resolution and querying one NTP server at a time, resolve server names and send NTP queries without blocking. Add sntp command-line options to adjust timing and optionally wait for all servers to respond instead of exiting after the first.
- Move
init_logging(), change_logfile(), and setup_logfile() from ntpd to libntp, use them in sntp.
- Test
--without-sntp in flock-build script’s -no-refclocks variety.
sntp/Makefile.am needs any passed-in CFLAGS.- Simplify the built-sources stuff in
sntp/.
- Add
configure --without-sntp option to disable building sntp and sntp/tests. withsntp=no in the environment changes the default.
- Remove top-level
libopts, use sntp/libopts.
- from 4.2.6p3-RC11: Remove
log_msg() and debug_msg() from sntp in favor of msyslog().
- Put the
sntp tests under sntp/ … and only build/run them if we have gtest.
- from 4.2.6p2-RC3: Do not depend on ASCII in
sntp.
- Move
sntp/include/mansec2subst.sed to sntp/scripts/mansec2subst.sed.
- Convert more of the
sntp-opt.def documentation from man to mdoc.
- Share a single
sntp/libevent/build-aux directory between all three configure scripts.
- Finish conversion to
genLocInfo.
- validate
MANTAGFMT in genLocInfo.

genLocInfo improvements and cleanup.
- Added
ntp_locs.m4.
- Add the man page tag “flavor” to the
loc.* files.
- Add/distribute
genLocInfo.
- Create
loc/darwin for Mac OSX.
- Added
loc/debian.
- Added
loc.freebsd (and distribute it).
- Added
loc.legacy (and distribute it).
- Added
loc/redhat.
- Added
loc/solaris.
- Move
loc/ to sntp/loc/.
- Added
sntp/loc/netbsd based on info from Christos Zoulas.
- Update
sntp/loc/solaris to conform to stock locations.
- If no “more specific”
loc file is found for redhat* or fedora*, look for a loc/redhat file.
- If no “more specific”
loc file is found and uname says this is Linux, look for a loc/linux file.
- Implement
--with-locfile=filename configure argument. If filename is empty we’ll look under loc/ for a good fit. If the filename contains a / character, it will be treated as a “normal” pathname. Otherwise, that explicit file will be searched for under loc/.
- Removed
sntp/m4/ntp_bindir.m4 - no longer needed.
- Move
scripts/cvo.sh to sntp/scripts/cvo.sh.
- Move
scripts/genLocInfo to sntp/scripts/genLocInfo.
- Remove hacks to get
NTP_LOCINFO-related data to sntp/.
- Remove
sntp l_fp_output() test now that it uses prettydate().
- Do not force “legacy” when
--with-locfile is not given, genLocInfo will find the correct default for the system.
- DEFAULT INSTALLATION DIRECTORY CHANGES ON SOME OSes: to get the old behavior, pass
--with-locfile=legacy to configure
- Give
NTP_LOCINFO an optional path-to argument.
- Improve the help text:
--with-locfile=XXX.
- work around solaris
/bin/sh issues for genLocInfo.
refclocks
refclock_acts.c updates and cleanup from Dave Mills.- Move refclock-specific scheduled timer code under
#ifdef REFCLOCK and move “action” and “nextaction” data for same from struct peer to
struct refclockproc. These provide a way to schedule a callback some seconds in the future.
- ACTS refclock cleanup from Dave Mills.
- Use an enum for the ACTS state table.
- Apply
tos orphanwait (def. 300 seconds) to LOCAL and ACTS reference clock drivers, in addition to orphan parent operation. LOCAL and ACTS are not selectable during the orphanwait delay at startup and after each no_sys_peer event. This prevents a particular form of clock-hopping, such as using LOCAL briefly at startup before remote peers are selectable. This fixes the issue reported in Bug 988.
setvar modemsetup = ATE0... overrides ACTS driver default.- Preserve last timecode in ACTS driver (
ntpq -ccv).
- Tolerate previous ATE1 state when sending ACTS setup.
- Enable ACTS and CHU reference clock drivers on Windows.
- Use
acts_close() in acts_shutdown() to avoid leaving a stale lockfile if unpeered via runtime configuration while the modem is open.
- Correct
acts_close() test of pp->io.fd to see if it is open.
refclock_nmea.c merge cleanup thanks to Juergen Perlinger.refclock_nmea.c refactoring by Juergen Perlinger.- Conditionalize NMEA serial open message under
clockevent.
- Change some error logging to
syslog to ignore logconfig mask, such as reporting PPSAPI failure in NMEA and WWVB refclocks.
- Added support for Garmin’s
$PGRMF sentence to NMEA driver.
- NMEA driver documentation update from Juergen Perlinger.
- From 4.2.6p1-RC6: Correct CHU, dumbclock, and WWVB drivers to check for 0 returned from
refclock_open() on failure.
- Initialize
refclockproc.rio.fd to -1, harmonize refclock shutdown entrypoints to avoid crashing, particularly if refclock_open() fails.
- Include 4.2.6p1: Fix widely cut-n-pasted bug in refclock shutdown after failed start.
- In
refclock_wwv.c rename SECOND to WWV_SEC and MINUTE to WWV_MIN.
- Attempt to resolve strict-aliasing violation in
refclock_tsyncpci.c.
- Add
refclock_tsyncpci.c (driver 45) supporting Spectracom TSYNC timing boards.
- Fix && -> & typo in
refclock_palisade.c debug statements.
- Log failure to fetch time from HOPF_P hardware.
- Check
HOPF_S sscanf() conversion count before converted values.

- Remove never-used, incomplete
ports/winnt/ntpd/refclock_trimbledc.[ch]
- Remove kernel line discipline driver code for clk and chu, deprecate related
LDISC_ flags, and remove associated ntpd code to decode the timestamps, remove clktest line discipline test program.
- Compare entire timestamp to reject duplicates in
refclock_pps().
- Change
refclock_open() to return -1 on failure like open().
- Update all
refclock_open() callers to check for fd <= 0 indicating failure, so they work with older and newer refclock_open() and can easily backport.
ntpq
- Add
ntpq reslist command to query access restrictions, similar to ntpdc’s reslist.
- Disable mode 7 (
ntpdc) query processing in ntpd by default. ntpq is believed to provide all functionality ntpdc did, and uses a less-fragile protocol that’s safer and easier to maintain. If you do find some management via ntpdc is needed, you can use enable mode7 in the ntpd configuration.
ntpq mrulist shows intermediate counts every five seconds while retrieving list, and allows Ctrl-C interruption of the retrieval, showing the incomplete list as retrieved. Reduce delay between successive mrulist retrieval queries from 30 to 5 msec. Do not give up mrulist retrieval when a single query times out.- Add missing
break; to ntp_control.c ctl_putsys() for caliberrs, used by ntpq -c kerninfo introduced in 4.2.7p104.
- Move
ntp_control.h variable IDs to ntp_control.c, remove their use by ntpq. They are implementation details private to ntpd. Bug 597 was caused by ntpq’s reliance on these IDs it need not know about.
- Add
ntpq kerninfo, authinfo, and sysinfo commands similar to ntpdc’s.
- Add
ntpq pstats command similar to ntpdc’s.
- Remove
ntpq pstatus command, rv/readvar does the same and more.
- Allow
ntpq &1 associd use without preceding association-fetching.
- from 4.2.6p2-RC3: Escape unprintable characters in a refid in
ntpq -p billboard.
- Add
ntpq -c iostats similar to ntpdc -c iostats.
- Add
ntpq -c ifstats similar to ntpdc -c ifstats.
- Add
ntpq -c sysstats similar to ntpdc -c sysstats.
- Add
ntpq -c monstats to show monlist knobs and stats.
- Add
ntpq -c mrulist similar to ntpdc -c monlist but not limited to 600 rows, and with filtering and sorting options:
ntpq -c "mrulist mincount=2 laddr=192.168.1.2 sort=-avgint"ntpq -c "mrulist sort=addr"ntpq -c "mrulist mincount=2 sort=count"ntpq -c "mrulist sort=-lstint"
ntpq: increase response reassembly limit from 24 to 32 packets, add discussion in comment regarding results with even larger MAXFRAGS.ntpq: handle passwd MYPASSWORD (without prompting) as with ntpdc.- Extend
ntpq readvar (alias rv) to allow fetching up to three named variables in one operation: ntpq -c "rv 0 version offset frequency".
ntpq: use srchost variable to show .POOL. prototype associations' hostname instead of address 0.0.0.0.- Clean up an exit status in
ntpq.c.
- Remove 1024 associations-per-server limit from
ntpq.
- Remove blank line between
ntpq mreadvar associations.
ntpq autogen docs.- Produce
ntpq.1 with the new autogen macros.
- Fix nits in the
ntpq man page.
- Cleanup to
ntpq.texi.
ntpdc
- Remove the deprecated
detail stanza from ntpdc-opts.def.
- Remove use of
MAXFILENAME in mode 7 (ntpdc) on-wire structs.
- Limit
ntpdc -c monlist response in ntpd to 600 entries, the previous overall limit on the MRU list depth which was driven by the monlist implementation limit of one request with a single multipacket response.
ntpdc: do not examine argument to passwd if not supplied.ntpdc documentation fixes and cleanup.- Note the deprecation of
ntpdc in its documentation.
ntp-keygen
ntp-keygen private key cipher default now triple-key triple DES CBC.ntp-keygen -M is intended to ignore all other defaults and options, so do not attempt to open existing Autokey host certificate before generating symmetric keys and terminating.- Restore IFF, MV, and GQ identity parameter filename convention to
ntpkey_<scheme>par_<group/host> in ntpd, matching ntp-keygen.
- Backward Incompatible
ntp-keygen -i option long name changed from misleading --issuer-name to --ident.
- Change
ntpd MAXFILENAME from 128 to 256 to match ntp-keygen.
- from 4.2.6p3-RC12: Suppress
ntp-keygen OpenSSL version display for --help, --version, display both build and runtime OpenSSL versions when they differ.
- Add
ntp-keygen -l/--lifetime to control certificate expiry.
- Create
ntp-keygen.{html,texi}.
ntp-keygen autogen documentation updates.
Windows
- Treat zero counter as indication of precise system time in Windows PPSAPI helper function
pps_ntp_timestamp_from_counter(), enabling PPSAPI providers to use the Windows 8 precise clock directly.
- Use
GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() on Windows 8.
ntp-keygen on Windows XP and later systems will now create links expected by ntpd. They are hardlinks on Windows, soft on POSIX.- Force
.exe minimum Windows version to 0x0400 to allow NT4 in vs2005/*.vcproj files.
- Use
_mkgmtime() as timegm() in the Windows port, rather than libntp/mktime.c’s timegm(). Fixed Bug 1875 on Windows using the old asn2ntp() code from before 4.2.7p147.
- Provide fallback definitions for
GetAdaptersAddresses() for Windows build environments lacking iphlpapi.h.
- Enable
tickadj-like taming of wildly off-spec Windows clock using NTPD_TICKADJ_PPM env. var. specifying baseline slew.

tty open/close/open to succeed on Windows port.
- Enable generating
ntpd/ntp_keyword.h after keyword-gen.c changes on Windows as well as POSIX platforms.
- from 4.2.6p2-RC5: Windows port: do not exit in
ntp_timestamp_from_counter() without first logging the reason.
- From 4.2.6p1-RC6: Correct Windows port’s
refclock_open() to return 0 on failure not -1.
- Windows compiling
hints/winnt.html update from G. Sunil Tej.
Linux
- Eliminate warnings about shadowing global “basename” on Linux.
- Remove
signal_no_reset: signal 17 had flags 4000000 logging, as it indicates no problem and is interpreted as an error. Previously some bits had been ignored one-by-one, but Linux SA_RESTORER definition is unavailable to user headers.

- Conditionalize
msyslog messages about rejected mode 6 requests due to nomodify and nomrulist restrictions under logconfig +sysinfo.
- Increment
sys_restricted in a few rejection paths due to nomodify restrictions where previosuly overlooked.
tickadj may need to be linked with PTHREAD_LIBS.U_INT32_MAX cleanup in include/ntp_types.h.- When linking,
ntp_keygen and tickadj need $(LIBM).
- Correct
authnumfreekeys accounting broken in 4.2.7p262.
LCRYPTO is gone - replace with VER_SUFFIX.- Improve
ntpd scalability for servers with many trusted keys.
- Update one of the license URLs.
- Fix build break triggered by updating
deps-ver and libntp/systime.c at the same time by explicitly depending systime_s.c on systime.c.
- Refactor
timespecops.h and timevalops.h into inline functions.
- Floor peer delay using system precision, as with jitter, reflecting inability to measure shorter intervals.
- from 4.2.6p5-RC3: Ensure NULL peer->dstadr is not accessed in orphan parent selection.
- from 4.2.6p5-RC2: Exclude not-yet-determined
sys_refid from use in loopback TEST12 (from Dave Mills).

MODE_SERVER.
- Floor calculation of
sys_rootdisp at sys_mindisp in clock_update (from Dave Mills).
- Restore 4.2.6
clock_combine() weighting to ntp-dev, reverting to pre-4.2.7p70 method while also avoiding divide-by-zero (from Dave Mills).
- Round
l_fp traffic interval when converting to integer in rate limit and KoD calculation.
- Clean up
-libm entries regarding libntp.a
- Update the
NEWS file so we note the default disable of mode 7 requests.
- Clean up some bitrotted code in libntp/socket.c.
- Directly limit the number of datagrams in a
mrulist response, rather than limiting the number of entries returned to indirectly limit the datagram count.
- Log signal description along with number on
ntpd exit.
- Send all peer variables to trappers in
report_event().
- Fix the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC TRACE() message.

parsesolaris.c compile fails on SPARC Solaris with conflicting printf.ntp_util.c compile fails on AIX and OSF with conflicting statsdir.- Remove hardcoded 1/960 s. fudge for
<CR> transmission time at 9600 8n1 from WWVB/Spectracom driver introduced in 4.2.7p169.
- Use
filegen_config() consistently when changing filegen options.
mprintf() should go to stdout, not stderr. DPRINTF() uses mprintf().- Repair a few simulator problems (more remain).
- Use 64-bit scalars in
LFPTOD() and DTOLFP() on more platforms by conditionalizing on HAVE_U_INT64 rather than UINT64_MAX.
- Convert receive buffer queue from doubly-linked list to FIFO.
- Change
pool DNS messages from msyslog to debug trace output.
- Remove unused
FLAG_SYSPEER from peer->status.

- On systems without C99-compliant
(v)snprintf(), use C99-snprintf replacements
- Remove remaining
sprintf() calls except refclock_ripencc.c (which is kept out of --enable-all-clocks as a result), upstream libs which use sprintf() only after careful buffer sizing.
ntp_crypto.c string buffer safety.- Buffer safety and sign extension fixes (thanks Coverity Scan).
- String buffer safety cleanup, converting to
strlcpy() and strlcat().
- Use
utmpname() before pututline() so repeated steps do not accidentally record into wtmp where utmp was intended.
- Use
setutent() before each pututline() including first.
- One more lock-while-init in
lib/isc/task.c to quiet lock analysis.
- Use
TRACE() instead of DPRINTF() for libntp and utilities, which use the debug variable regardless of #ifdef DEBUG.
- Declare
debug in libntp instead of each program. Expose extern declaration to utilities, libntp, and DEBUG ntpd.
- Lock under-construction task, taskmgr objects to satisfy Coverity’s mostly-correct assumptions about which variables are protected by which locks.
- Ensure
CONFIG_SHELL is not empty before relying on it for #! scripts.
- Add
INC_ALIGNED_PTR() macro to align pointers like malloc().
- Do not cache paths to
perl, test, or pkg-config, searching the PATH at configure time is worth it to pick up tool updates.
- ElectricFence was suffering bitrot - remove it.
valgrind works well.
- Correct Solaris 2.1x
PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT extra braces test to avoid triggering warnings due to excess braces.
- Provide bug report and URL options to Autoconf.
- older
autoconf sometimes dislikes [].
- Move blocking worker and resolver to
libntp from ntpd.
- Use threads rather than forked child processes for blocking worker when possible. Override with
configure --disable-thread-support.
- Move more
m4sh tests needed by libntp to shared .m4 files.

- Fix unexposed fencepost error in
format_time_fraction().
- Avoid shadowing the
group global variable.

autoreconf invocation in ./bootstrap script.
- crypto group changes from Dave Mills.
- Lose the
RANGEGATE check in PPS, from Dave Mills.
- added
timespecops.{c,h} and tievalops.{c.h} to libntp and include added tspecops.cpp to tests/libntp
- Add
erealloc_zero(), refactor estrdup(), emalloc(), emalloc_zero() to separate tracking callsite file/line from using debug MS C runtime, and to reduce code duplication.
- Begin moving some of the low-level socket stuff to
libntp.
- Remove nearly all
strcpy() and most strcat() from NTP distribution.
- One major pocket remains in
ntp_crypto.c. libopts & libisc also have (safe) uses of strcpy() and strcat() remaining.
- Autokey multiple identity group improvements from Dave Mills.
- from 4.2.6p3: Update
genCommitLog for the bk-5 release.
- from 4.2.6p3: Update
bk triggers for the bk-5 release.
- Support for multiple Autokey identity groups from Dave Mills.
- from 4.2.6p3-RC12: Other
manycastclient repairs:
- Separate handling of scope ID embedded in many
in6_addr from ifindex used for IPv6 multicasting ioctls.
- Add
INT_PRIVACY endpt bit flag for IPv6 RFC 4941 privacy addresses.
- Enable outbound multicast from only one address per interface in the same subnet, and in that case prefer embedded MAC address modified EUI-64 IPv6 addresses first, then static, and last RFC 4941 privacy addresses.
- Use
setsockopt(IP[V6]_MULTICAST_IF) before each send to multicast to select the local source address, using the correct socket is not enough.
server ... ident <groupname> changes from Dave Mills.- An almost complete rebuild of the initial loopfilter configuration process, including the code that determines the interval between frequency file updates, from Dave Mills.
- Add
nonvolatile ntp.conf directive to control how often the driftfile is written.

ntp_proto.c.
clock_filter()/reachability fixes from Dave Mills.- Rewrite of multiprecision macros in
ntp_fp.h from J. Perlinger
include/ntp_crypto.h: make assumption AUTOKEY implies OPENSSL explicit.- from 4.2.6p2-RC3: Simplify hash client code by providing
OpenSSL EVP_*() API when built without OpenSSL. (already in 4.2.7)
- Update the
ChangeLog entries when merging items from -stable.
- Modify full MRU list preemption when full to match
discard monitor documentation, by removing exception for count == 1.
ntpdate: stop querying source after KoD packet response, log it.ntpdate: rate limit each server to 2s between packets.- From J. N. Perlinger: avoid pointer wraparound warnings in
dolfptoa(), printf format mismatches with 64-bit size_t.
- Broadcast client (ephemeral) associations should be demobilized only if they are not heard from for 10 consecutive polls, regardless of surviving the clock selection. Fix from David Mills.
- Modify internal representation of MRU list to use
l_fp fixed-point NTP timestamps instead of seconds since startup. This increases the resolution and substantially improves accuracy of sorts involving timestamps, at the cost of flushing all MRU entries when the clock is stepped, to ensure the timestamps can be compared with the current get_systime() results.
- Add
ntp.conf mru directive to configure MRU parameters, such as mru mindepth 600 maxage 64 maxdepth 5000 maxmem 1024 or mru initalloc 0 initmem 16 incalloc 99 incmem 4. Several pairs are equivalent with one in units of MRU entries and its twin in units of kilobytes of memory, so the last one used in ntp.conf controls: maxdepth/maxmem, initalloc/initmem, incalloc/incmem. With the above values, ntpd will preallocate 16kB worth of MRU entries, allocating 4kB worth each time more are needed, with a hard limit of 1MB of MRU entries. Until there are more than 600 entries none would be reused. Then only entries for addresses last seen 64 seconds or longer ago are reused.
- New
pool directive implementation modeled on manycastclient.
- Do not abort on non-ASCII characters in
ntp.conf, ignore them.
configure: remove check for pointer type used with qsort(), we require ANSI C which mandates void *.- Reset
sys_kodsent to 0 in proto_clr_stats().
- Add
sptoa()/sockporttoa() similar to stoa()/socktoa() adding :port.
- Use
memcpy() instead of memmove() when buffers can not overlap.
- Remove
sockaddr_storage from our sockaddr_u union of sockaddr, sockaddr_in, and sockaddr_in6, shaving about 100 bytes from its size and substantially decreasing MRU entry memory consumption.
restrict source ... configures override restrictions for time sources, allows tight default restrictions to be used with the pool directive (where server addresses are not known in advance).- Ignore
preempt modifier on manycastclient and pool prototype associations. The resulting associations are preemptible, but the prototype must not be.
- Maintain and use linked list of associations (
struct peer) in ntpd, avoiding walking 128 hash table entries to iterate over peers.
- Remove more workarounds unneeded since we require ISO C90 AKA ANSI C:
- remove fallback implementations for
memmove(), memset, strstr().
- do not test for
atexit() or memcpy().
- Collapse a bunch of code duplication in
ntpd/ntp_restrict.c added with support for IPv6.
- Correct some corner case failures in automatically enabling the MRU list if any
restrict ... limited is in effect, and in disabling MRU maintenance. (ntp_monitor.c, ntp_restrict.c)
- Reverse the internal sort order of the address restriction lists, but preserve the same behavior. This allows removal of special-case code related to the default restrictions and more straightforward lookups of restrictions for a given address (now, stop on first match).
- Move
ntp_restrict.c MRU doubly-linked list maintenance code into ntp_lists.h macros, allowing more duplicated source excision.
- Repair
ntpdate.c to no longer test HAVE_TIMER_SETTIME.
- Do not reference peer_node/unpeer_node after freeing when built with
--disable-saveconfig and using DNS.
- Use all addresses for each restrict by hostname.
- Use async DNS to resolve trap directive hostnames.
- Stop using
getaddrinfo() to convert numeric address strings to on-wire addresses in favor of is_ip_address() alone.
- Attempts to cure CID 108 CID 118 CID 119
TAINTED_SCALAR warnings.
- Broaden
ylwrap workaround VPATH_HACK to all non-GNU make.
- Include 4.2.6p1: Convert many
sprintf() calls to snprintf(), also strcpy(), strcat().
- Include 4.2.6p1: Remove some dead code checking for
emalloc() returning NULL.
- New async DNS resolver in
ntpd allows nonblocking queries anytime, instead of only once at startup.
- Include 4.2.6p1-RC3: Use
TZ=UTC instead of TZ= when calling date in scripts/mkver.in.
