2011-09-29ptp: fix L2 event message recognitionRichard Cochran1-3/+10
The IEEE 1588 standard defines two kinds of messages, event and general messages. Event messages require time stamping, and general do not. When using UDP transport, two separate ports are used for the two message types. The BPF designed to recognize event messages incorrectly classifies L2 general messages as event messages. This commit fixes the issue by extending the filter to check the message type field for L2 PTP packets. Event messages are be distinguished from general messages by testing the "general" bit.

2011-05-24ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.Richard Cochran1-0/+7
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.

2010-07-19net: added a BPF to help drivers detect PTP packets.Richard Cochran1-0/+126
Certain kinds of hardware time stamping units in both MACs and PHYs have the limitation that they can only time stamp PTP packets. Drivers for such hardware are left with the task of correctly matching skbs to time stamps. This patch adds a BPF that drivers can use to classify PTP packets when needed.
