Subject: [net-next, v3, 00/10] ptp: support virtual clocks and timestamping
Current PTP driver exposes one PTP device to user which binds network
interface/interfaces to provide timestamping. Actually we have a way
utilizing timecounter/cyclecounter to virtualize any number of PTP
clocks based on a same free running physical clock for using.
The purpose of having multiple PTP virtual clocks is for user space
to directly/easily use them for multiple domains synchronization.

| SO_TIMESTAMPING new flag: | Packets with
| SOF_TIMESTAMPING_BIND_PHC | TX/RX HW timestamps

vclock: | ptp1 | ptp2 | ptpN |

pclock: | ptp0 free running |
+--------------------------------------------+
The block diagram may explain how it works. Besides the PTP virtual
clocks, the packet HW timestamp converting to the bound PHC is also
done in sock driver. For user space, PTP virtual clocks can be
created via sysfs, and extended SO_TIMESTAMPING API (new flag
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_BIND_PHC) can be used to bind one PTP virtual clock
for timestamping.
The test tool timestamping.c (together with linuxptp phc_ctl tool) can
be used to verify:
# echo 4 > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/n_vclocks
[ 129.399472] ptp ptp0: new virtual clock ptp2
[ 129.404234] ptp ptp0: new virtual clock ptp3
[ 129.409532] ptp ptp0: new virtual clock ptp4
[ 129.413942] ptp ptp0: new virtual clock ptp5
[ 129.418257] ptp ptp0: guarantee physical clock free running

Changes for v2:
- Converted to num_vclocks for creating virtual clocks.
- Guranteed physical clock free running when using virtual
clocks.
- Fixed build warning.
- Updated copyright.
Changes for v3:
- Supported PTP virtual clock in default in PTP driver.
- Protected concurrency of ptp->num_vclocks accessing.
- Supported PHC vclocks query via ethtool.
- Extended SO_TIMESTAMPING API for PHC binding.
- Converted HW timestamps to PHC bound, instead of previous
binding domain value to PHC idea.
- Other minor fixes.
Yangbo Lu (10):
ptp: add ptp virtual clock driver framework

ptp: track available ptp vclocks information
ptp: add kernel API ptp_get_vclocks_index()
ethtool: add a new command for getting PHC virtual clocks
ptp: add kernel API ptp_convert_timestamp()
net: sock: extend SO_TIMESTAMPING for PHC binding
net: socket: support hardware timestamp conversion to PHC bound
selftests/net: timestamping: support binding PHC
