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.

I think this looks mostly ok. I've got one concern on the locking and
there are a few minor nits that might need extra commenting below. 

thanks

So, 65.536... I understand you're converting ppb to ppm << 16 (which is
what adjtime takes), but I'm not sure if anyone else will. I'd either
wrap that in a commented conversion function/macro or just do the
conversion explicitly (freq = (adjfreq << 16)/1000;  although this has
potential overflow risks with large ppb values) with a comment about
what is going on.

Doesn't the lock need to happen before you access the
queue->buf[queue->tail] ? 

For example: What happens if two cpus enter the function at the same
time, both get the same tail index, one overwrite the other's data, then
both take turns bumping up the tail pointer?

((1 + freq) *125)>>13 == magic :)

q->tail and head access probably need to happen only when locked. 

So probably need a comment that queue_cnt must be called only when
holding the proper lock.

Yes, thanks for that catch.

In this case, calling without a lock is allowed. However, I'll add
comment like the following.

 * The function queue_cnt() is safe for readers to call without
 * holding q->lock. Readers use this function to verify that the queue
 * is nonempty before proceeding with a dequeue operation. The fact
 * that a writer might concurrently increment the tail does not
 * matter, since the queue remains nonempty nonetheless.

Thanks for your feedback,

Richard

+
+* PTP hardware clock infrastructure for Linux
+
+  This patch set introduces support for IEEE 1588 PTP clocks in
+  Linux. Together with the SO_TIMESTAMPING socket options, this
+  presents a standardized method for developing PTP user space
+  programs, synchronizing Linux with external clocks, and using the
+  ancillary features of PTP hardware clocks.
+
+  A new class driver exports a kernel interface for specific clock
+  drivers and a user space interface. The infrastructure supports a
+  complete set of PTP hardware clock functionality.
+
+  + Basic clock operations
+    - Set time
+    - Get time
+    - Shift the clock by a given offset atomically
+    - Adjust clock frequency
+
+  + Ancillary clock features
+    - One short or periodic alarms, with signal delivery to user program
+    - Time stamp external events
+    - Period output signals configurable from user space
+    - Synchronization of the Linux system time via the PPS subsystem
+
+** PTP hardware clock kernel API
+
+   A PTP clock driver registers itself with the class driver. The
+   class driver handles all of the dealings with user space. The
+   author of a clock driver need only implement the details of
+   programming the clock hardware. The clock driver notifies the class
+   driver of asynchronous events (alarms and external time stamps) via
+   a simple message passing interface.
+
+   The class driver supports multiple PTP clock drivers. In normal use
+   cases, only one PTP clock is needed. However, for testing and
+   development, it can be useful to have more than one clock in a
+   single system, in order to allow performance comparisons.
+
+** PTP hardware clock user space API
+
+   The class driver also creates a character device for each
+   registered clock. User space can use an open file descriptor from
+   the character device as a POSIX clock id and may call
+   clock_gettime, clock_settime, and clock_adjtime.  These calls
+   implement the basic clock operations.
+
+   User space programs may control the clock using standardized
+   ioctls. A program may query, enable, configure, and disable the
+   ancillary clock features. User space can receive time stamped
+   events via blocking read() and poll(). One shot and periodic
+   signals may be configured via the POSIX timer_settime() system
+   call.
+
+** Writing clock drivers
+
+   Clock drivers include include/linux/ptp_clock_kernel.h and register
+   themselves by presenting a 'struct ptp_clock_info' to the
+   registration method. Clock drivers must implement all of the
+   functions in the interface. If a clock does not offer a particular
+   ancillary feature, then the driver should just return -EOPNOTSUPP
+   from those functions.
+
+   Drivers must ensure that all of the methods in interface are
+   reentrant. Since most hardware implementations treat the time value
+   as a 64 bit integer accessed as two 32 bit registers, drivers
+   should use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore to protect
+   against concurrent access. This locking cannot be accomplished in
+   class driver, since the lock may also be needed by the clock
+   driver's interrupt service routine.
+
+** Supported hardware
+
+   + Freescale eTSEC gianfar
+     - 2 Time stamp external triggers, programmable polarity (opt. interrupt)
+     - 2 Alarm registers (optional interrupt)
+     - 3 Periodic signals (optional interrupt)
+
+   + National DP83640
+     - 6 GPIOs programmable as inputs or outputs
+     - 6 GPIOs with dedicated functions (LED/JTAG/clock) can also be
+       used as general inputs or outputs
+     - GPIO inputs can time stamp external triggers
+     - GPIO outputs can produce periodic signals
+     - 1 interrupt pin
+
+   + Intel IXP465
+     - Auxiliary Slave/Master Mode Snapshot (optional interrupt)
+     - Target Time (optional interrupt)

+	help
+	  The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
+	  synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
+	  standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
+	  be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
+	  microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
+	  time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
+	  synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.
+
+	  This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character
+	  devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
+	  also enable at least one clock driver as well.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+	  will be called ptp.
