* drivers/ptp: Fix kernel memory disclosureVlad Tsyrklevich2016-10-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The reserved field precise_offset->rsv is not cleared before being copied to user space, leaking kernel stack memory. Clear the struct before it's copied.

* ptp: oops in ptp_ioctl()Dan Carpenter2016-05-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | If we pass ERR_PTR(-EFAULT) to kfree() then it's going to oops. Fixes: 2ece068e1b1d ('ptp: use memdup_user().') Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* ptp: use memdup_user().Muhammad Falak R Wani2016-05-231-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | Use memdup_user to duplicate a memory region from user-space to kernel-space, instead of open coding using kmalloc & copy_from_user.

* ptp: Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE for driver crosstimestampingChristopher S. Hall2016-03-031-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, network /system cross-timestamping is performed in the PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl. The PTP clock driver reads gettimeofday() and the gettime64() callback provided by the driver. The cross-timestamp is best effort where the latency between the capture of system time (getnstimeofday()) and the device time (driver callback) may be significant. The getcrosststamp() callback and corresponding PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE ioctl allows the driver to perform this device/system correlation when for example cross timestamp hardware is available. Modern Intel systems can do this for onboard Ethernet controllers using the ART counter. There is virtually zero latency between captures of the ART and network device clock. The capabilities ioctl (PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS), is augmented allowing applications to query whether or not drivers implement the getcrosststamp callback, providing more precise cross timestamping.

* ptp: remove 32 bit get/set methods.Richard Cochran2015-03-311-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | All of the PHC drivers have been converted to the new methods. This patch converts the three remaining callers within the core code and removes the older methods for good. As a result, the core PHC code is ready for the year 2038. However, some of the PHC drivers are not quite ready yet. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ptp: use the 64 bit gettime method for the SYS_OFFSET ioctl.Richard Cochran2015-03-311-4/+10

* ptp: Allow reassigning calibration pin functionStefan Sørensen2014-07-011-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The ptp pin function programming does not allow calibration pin to change function. This is problematic on hardware that uses the default calibration pin for other purposes. Removing this limitation does not impact calibration if userspace does not reprogram the calibration pin. Signed-off-by: Stefan Sørensen <stefan.sorensen@spectralink.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ptp: introduce programmable pins.Richard Cochran2014-03-211-1/+127
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a pair of new ioctls to the PTP Hardware Clock device interface. Using the ioctls, user space programs can query each pin to find out its current function and also reprogram a different function if desired.

* ptp: add an ioctl to compare PHC time with system timeRichard Cochran2012-11-011-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an ioctl for PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) devices that allows user space to measure the time offset between the PHC and the system clock. Rather than hard coding any kind of estimation algorithm into the kernel, this patch takes the more flexible approach of just delivering an array of raw clock readings. In that way, the user space clock servo may be adapted to new and different hardware clocks.

* ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.Richard Cochran2011-05-231-0/+159
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.
