commit 513c7457865dba262a43e03fbe9178f4b08ba319
Author: Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Oct 24 15:25:30 2022 +0200
Drop support for old kernels returning zero frequency.
Kernels before 3.10 had a bug in reading of the system clock frequency,
which was worked around by commit da347d7a36f2 ("ptp4l: Set clock
frequency on start").
Drop this workaround and support for the old kernels to make
clockadj_get_freq() useful.
(Rebased to 3.1.1)

Don't accept errors in clockadj_get_freq().
Exit if an error is returned from the clock_adjtime() call in
clockadj_get_freq(). No recoverable errors are expected.

Extend clockcheck to check for changes in frequency.
Before setting the new frequency offset on a clock update, compare the
current frequency returned by the kernel with the value saved from the
previous update. Print a warning message if the difference is larger
than 1 ppb, allowing for rounding errors in conversion to and from
double. The kernel caches the value set by clock_adjtime() in shifted
ppm, it doesn't request it from the driver, which can have a lower
resulution.
This should detect misconfigurations where multiple processes are trying
to control the clock (e.g. another ptp4l/phc2sys instance or an NTP
client), even when they don't step the clock.
