5 * refclock_local - local pseudo-clock driver
7 * wjm 17-aug-1995: add a hook for special treatment of VMS_LOCALUNIT
16 #include "ntp_refclock.h"
17 #include "ntp_stdlib.h"
23 #include "ntp_syscall.h"
27 * This is a hack to allow a machine to use its own system clock as a
28 * reference clock, i.e., to free-run using no outside clock discipline
29 * source. This is useful if you want to use NTP in an isolated
30 * environment with no radio clock or NIST modem available. Pick a
31 * machine that you figure has a good clock oscillator and configure it
32 * with this driver. Set the clock using the best means available, like
33 * eyeball-and-wristwatch. Then, point all the other machines at this
34 * one or use broadcast (not multicast) mode to distribute time.
36 * Another application for this driver is if you want to use a
37 * particular server's clock as the clock of last resort when all other
38 * normal synchronization sources have gone away. This is especially
39 * useful if that server has an ovenized oscillator. For this you would
40 * configure this driver at a higher stratum (say 5) to prevent the
41 * server's stratum from falling below that.
43 * A third application for this driver is when an external discipline
44 * source is available, such as the NIST "lockclock" program, which
45 * synchronizes the local clock via a telephone modem and the NIST
46 * Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS), or the Digital Time
47 * Synchronization Service (DTSS), which runs on DCE machines. In this
48 * case the stratum should be set at zero, indicating a bona fide
49 * stratum-1 source. Exercise some caution with this, since there is no
50 * easy way to telegraph via NTP that something might be wrong in the
51 * discipline source itself. In the case of DTSS, the local clock can
52 * have a rather large jitter, depending on the interval between
53 * corrections and the intrinsic frequency error of the clock
54 * oscillator. In extreme cases, this can cause clients to exceed the
55 * 128-ms slew window and drop off the NTP subnet.
57 * THis driver includes provisions to telegraph synchronization state
58 * and related variables by means of kernel variables with specially
59 * modified kernels. This is done using the ntp_adjtime() syscall.
60 * In the cases where another protocol or device synchronizes the local
61 * host, the data given to the kernel can be slurped up by this driver
62 * and distributed to clients by ordinary NTP messaging.
64 * In the default mode the behavior of the clock selection algorithm is
65 * modified when this driver is in use. The algorithm is designed so
66 * that this driver will never be selected unless no other discipline
67 * source is available. This can be overriden with the prefer keyword of
68 * the server configuration command, in which case only this driver will
69 * be selected for synchronization and all other discipline sources will
70 * be ignored. This behavior is intended for use when an external
71 * discipline source controls the system clock.
75 * The stratum for this driver set at 5 by default, but it can be
76 * changed by the fudge command and/or the ntpdc utility. The reference
77 * ID is 127.0.0.1 by default, but can be changed using the same mechanism.
78 * *NEVER* configure this driver to operate at a stratum which might
79 * possibly disrupt a client with access to a bona fide primary server,
80 * unless the local clock oscillator is reliably disciplined by another
81 * source. *NEVER NEVER* configure a server which might devolve to an
82 * undisciplined local clock to use multicast mode. Always remember that
83 * an improperly configured local clock driver let loose in the Internet
84 * can cause very serious disruption. This is why most of us who care
85 * about good time use cryptographic authentication.
87 * This driver provides a mechanism to trim the local clock in both time
88 * and frequency, as well as a way to manipulate the leap bits. The
89 * fudge time1 parameter adjusts the time, in seconds, and the fudge
90 * time2 parameter adjusts the frequency, in ppm. The fudge time1
91 * parameter is additive; that is, it adds an increment to the current
92 * time. The fudge time2 parameter directly sets the frequency.
