SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW (timespec64 instead of timespec) is also used for hardware time stamps (configured via SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW). User space (ptp4l) first configures hardware time stamping via SO_TIMESTAMPING_NEW which sets SOCK_TSTAMP_NEW. In the next step, ptp4l disables SO_TIMESTAMPNS(_NEW) (software time stamps), but this must not switch hardware time stamps back to "32 bit mode". This problem happens on 32 bit platforms were the libc has already switched to struct timespec64 (from SO_TIMExxx_OLD to SO_TIMExxx_NEW socket options). ptp4l complains with "missing timestamp on transmitted peer delay request" because the wrong format is received (and discarded).

Usually the decision between SO_TIMESTAMP*_OLD/NEW will be done at compile time (trough the system C library headers). For a typical "distribution" it should be quite unlikely that two programs will be compiled using different settings. net/core/sock.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
