Focus: Bug fixes
Severity: Medium
This is a recommended upgrade.
This release updates sys_rootdisp and sys_jitter calculations to match the
RFC specification, fixes a potential IPv6 address matching error for the
"nic" and "interface" configuration directives, suppresses the creation of
extraneous ephemeral associations for certain broadcastclient and
multicastclient configurations, cleans up some ntpq display issues, and
includes improvements to orphan mode, minor bugs fixes and code clean-ups.
New features / changes in this release:
ntpd
* Updated "nic" and "interface" IPv6 address handling to prevent
mismatches with localhost [::1] and wildcard [::] which resulted from
using the address/prefix format (e.g. fe80::/64)
* Fix orphan mode stratum incorrectly counting to infinity
* Orphan parent selection metric updated to includes missing ntohl()
* Non-printable stratum 16 refid no longer sent to ntp
* Duplicate ephemeral associations suppressed for broadcastclient and
multicastclient without broadcastdelay
* Exclude undetermined sys_refid from use in loopback TEST12
* Exclude MODE_SERVER responses from KoD rate limiting
* Include root delay in clock_update() sys_rootdisp calculations
* get_systime() updated to exclude sys_residual offset (which only
affected bits "below" sys_tick, the precision threshold)
* sys.peer jitter weighting corrected in sys_jitter calculation
ntpq
* -n option extended to include the billboard "server" column
* IPv6 addresses in the local column truncated to prevent overruns

unsigned. They are signed. (While unsigned might have been a better
choice, it doesn't really matter and the majority of preexisting uses
were signed. And consistency is good.)
- struct vfs_quotactl_args -> struct quotactl_args
- add sys/stdint.h to sys/quotactl.h for clean userland build
- install sys/quotactl.h in /usr/include
- update set lists for same
- add new marshalling code in libquota
- add new unmarshalling code in vfs_syscalls.c
- discard proplib interpreter code in vfs_quotactl.c
- add dispatching code for the 14 quotactl ops in vfs_quotactl.c
- mark the proplib quotactl syscall obsolete
- add a new syscall number for the new quotactl syscall
- change the name of the syscall to __quotactl()
- remove the decl of the old quotactl from quota/quotaprop.h
- add a decl of the new quotactl to sys/quotactl.h
- update the libc build
- update ktruss
- remove proplib marshalling code from libquota
- update copy of syscall table in gdb ppc sources
- hack rumphijack to accomodate new quotactl name (as I recall,
pooka wanted such a name change to simplify something, but I
don't really see what/how)
This change appears to require a kernel version bump for rumpish
reasons.
about idtypes and objtypes. This avoids compiling in the names of
the id and object types.
I overlooked this last week because the proplib syscall interface has
no way to convey this information.
Renumber the operation codes again (since we still can) to insert
the new operations into the list in a semantically sensible place.
Requires kernel version bump.
