There are several cases where virtual net devices may benefit from having a PTP clock, and these have to do with testing. I can see at least netdevsim and veth as potential users of a common mock-up PTP hardware clock driver. The proposed idea is to create an object which emulates PTP clock operations on top of the unadjustable CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW plus a software-controlled time domain via a timecounter/cyclecounter and then link that PHC to the netdevsim device. The driver is fully functional for its intended purpose, and it successfully passes the PTP selftests. $ cd tools/testing/selftests/ptp/ $ ./phc.sh /dev/ptp2 TEST: settime [ OK ] TEST: adjtime [ OK ] TEST: adjfreq [ OK ] Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230807193324.4128292-7-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
