2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
Does not work on x86_64 yet. Don't know whether it still works on i386.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have i386 anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
1. vsntp.c: Removed the weird method to calculate the next time line
|
|
|
|
|
for synchronization. It was my bad taste to synchronize at the
|
|
|
|
|
the time of multiples of interval. When many clients are
|
|
|
|
|
synchronized to a same server, synchronizing them at a same time
|
|
|
|
|
will overload the server and create DDoS. Thanks to the reminder of

2004-03-29 version 2.0.0
|
2021-02-07 00:50:01 +08:00
|
|
|
1. vsntp.c: The synchronization scheduler has been rewritten to
|
2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
allow alternative schedulers, in order to work with the problem
|
|
|
|
|
reported by Jean-Alain Le Borgne <jalb@pobox.com> 2007-03-26,
|
|
|
|
|
that sleep() may not return after MS Virtual PC 2007 was suspended
|
|
|
|
|
for a while.
|
2021-02-07 00:50:01 +08:00
|
|
|
2. vsntp.c: An alternative scheduler using alarm() was added in
|
2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
addition to sleep(), based on the contribution by Jean-Alain.
|
|
|
|
|
3. vsntp.c: New subroutine setsigalrm() was added to set the SIGALRM
|
|
|
|
|
signal handler.
|
|
|
|
|
4. vsntp.c: New subroutine alarm_wakeup() was added as the alarm()
|
2021-02-07 00:50:01 +08:00
|
|
|
scheduler.
|
2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
5. vsntp.c: Two new constants SCHEDULER_SLEEP and SCHEDULER_ALARM were
|
|
|
|
|
added as the scheduler choices of the user.
|
|
|
|
|
6. vsntp.c: Two new switches -a/--alarm and -s/--sleep were added for
|
|
|
|
|
the user to choose the scheduler. The default is currently -s.
|
|
|
|
|
7. vsntp.c: New variable "scheduler" added to as the scheduler choice
|
|
|
|
|
of the user.
|
|
|
|
|
8. vsntp.c: Variable "next" was made global so that the alarm()
|
|
|
|
|
scheduler can access it, too.
|
|
|
|
|
9. vsntp.c: Check the return value of synctime() so that skip logging
|
|
|
|
|
when time was not adjusted (time correct or network error).
|
|
|
|
|
10. vsntp.c: Logging of time synchronization after the first time
|
|
|
|
|
was added, in log level LOG_DEBUG.
|
|
|
|
|
11. vsntp.c: errstart is now calculated and maintained in synctime()
|
|
|
|
|
instead of neterror(), in order to log the time sequence of the
|
|
|
|
|
network errors.
|
|
|
|
|
12. vsntp.c: Re-formatting error messages and warnings according to
|
|
|
|
|
the GNU Coding Standards, as:
|
|
|
|
|
source-file-name:lineno: message
|

|
2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
13. vsntp.c: Added logging before connect(), send() and recv() at
|
|
|
|
|
log level LOG_DEBUG in order to know the current progress when
|
|
|
|
|
debugging network problems.
|
|
|
|
|
14. vsntp.c: Added logging of value t1, t2, t3, t4 and toff in log
|
|
|
|
|
level LOG_DEBUG in order to debug time calculation problems.
|
|
|
|
|
15. vsntp.c: New subroutine xsigemptyset() was added to run
|
|
|
|
|
sigemptyset() and handle its error. setsigalrm() was updated
|
|
|
|
|
to use xsigemptyset() instead of sigemptyset().
|
|
|
|
|
16. vsntp.c: New subroutine xsigaction() was added to run sigaction()
|
|
|
|
|
and handle its error. setsigalrm() was updated to use xsigaction()
|
|
|
|
|
instead of sigaction().
|
|
|
|
|
17. vsntp.c: English comment fix. "... and handle errors" was updated
|
|
|
|
|
as "... and handle its error."
|
|
|
|
|
18. configure.ac: Added AC_TYPE_SSIZE_T, and added "alarm()" in
|
2021-02-07 00:50:01 +08:00
|
|
|
AC_CHECK_FUNCS, according to the suggestion by automake 1.9.6.

|
19. configure.in and aclocal.m4: Regenerated using automake 1.9.6.

|
2021-02-06 08:59:23 +08:00
|
|
|
21. vsntp.c: Added conditional #ifdef, so that if alarm() is not
|
|
|
|
|
supported on the target platform the alarm() scheduler will not
|
|
|
|
|
be compiled.
|
|
|
|
|
22. vsntp.c: A new constant DEFAULT_SCHEDULER was added as the
|
|
|
|
|
default scheduler.
|
|
|
|
|
23. Added init.d directory, with a Debian SysV init script, a Red Hat

|
|
|
|
|
25. vsntp.c: Fixed the basic profile in the beginning comment, from
|
|
|
|
|
synctime.c to vsntp.c. That was the first name of vsntp. It was
|
|
|
|
|
renamed for years.
|
2021-02-07 00:50:01 +08:00
|
|
|

|
|
the SourceForge users' mailing list information.

|
|
