linuxptp: address review nits from round 4

2026-10-24T13:59:03Z

- ptp4l.init: add fast pre-check for ptp_interface UCI sections before the clock-sync wait, so a misconfigured box fails in milliseconds rather than burning the full max_tries budget inside rcS - ptp4l.init: fix Waiting... progress line when clock_sync_max_tries is 0 (was rendering as '3/0'; now shows 'attempt N, unlimited') - ptp4l.init, phc2sys.init: downgrade 'not configured' log messages from err to notice; an unconfigured package is expected state, not a fault - linuxptp.config: replace '~2 min' with the actual formula (clock_sync_check_interval x (tries - 1)) so the comment stays accurate when either knob is changed Signed-off-by: Aleks Mariusz

linuxptp: fix boot-block, phc2sys auto-start and interface validation

2026-10-24T13:59:03Z

- ptp4l.init: bound wait_disciplined with clock_sync_max_tries (default 8 attempts, ~2 min) so a server-role device with no time source does not stall rcS indefinitely; set to 0 to wait without limit - ptp4l.init: validate that at least one [interface] section was written to ptp4l.conf (by counting section headers); a config with only [global] is now rejected with a clear error rather than launching ptp4l into a respawn loop - phc2sys.init: require phc_device to be explicitly configured; removes the /dev/ptp0 default so phc2sys does not auto-start on upgrade and slew CLOCK_REALTIME from an undisciplined PHC - linuxptp.config: comment out the config ptp_interface section header so the shipped default contains no load-bearing anonymous section; validation is now in the init script rather than the config structure - linuxptp.config: comment out phc_device so both daemons require explicit admin opt-in before starting - linuxptp.config: document clock_sync_max_tries option Signed-off-by: Aleks Mariusz

linuxptp: fix init script bugs and address review feedback

2026-10-24T13:59:03Z

- ptp4l.init: move procd_open_instance block to after validation so clock-sync wait and config-generation failures actually prevent startup - ptp4l.init: add mkdir -p for /var/etc before writing ptp4l.conf - phc2sys.init: propagate make_cmdline failure to prevent launch with an incomplete command line - Both init scripts: add service_triggers() for reload_config support - ptp4l.init: quote all variable expansions in [ ] tests - sysclock-discipline-check.c: zero-initialise struct timex via memset, use int main(void), drop unused stdlib.h, cast txc.status to unsigned int for printf - linuxptp.config: comment out the active ptp_interface/interface option so services do not auto-start on upgrade without explicit admin opt-in - linuxptp.config: comment out active list extra_args and document clock_sync_check_interval and ptp4l extra_args options - Fix typos: exitting->exiting, syncronized->synchronized - ptp4l stop_service: remove generated config file on stop Signed-off-by: Aleks Mariusz

linuxptp: add config & init scripts for ptp4l and phc2sys

2026-10-24T13:59:03Z

This adds configuration and init scripts for ptp4l and phc2sys, the daemons included with the linuxptp package. A helper utility (sysclock-discipline-check) delays ptp4l startup when in 'server' mode until the kernel confirms clock accuracy. This is critical for systems without RTC that boot with incorrect timestamps. Signed-off-by: Aleks Mariusz
