ntp: set interface index in IP*_PKTINFO when responding
When a server with multiple interfaces in the same network is sending a
response, setting the ipi_spec_dst/ipi6_addr field of the IP*_PKTINFO
control message selects the source address, but not necessarily the
interface. The packet has the expected source address, but it may be
sent by an interface that doesn't have the address.
Set the ipi_ifindex/ipi6_ifindex field to respond on the same interface
as the request was received from to avoid asymmetries in delay and
timestamping.

sys_linux: improve support for upcoming kernel versions
Starting with Linux 4.19, the frequency of the system clock should be
updated immediately in the system call itself, which will significantly
reduce the maximum delay of the update.
Increase the assumed tick rate in order to reduce the dispersion
accumulated by the driver when it sets the frequency.
Add an option to use the median filter to reduce noise in measurements
before they are accumulated to sourcestats, similarly to reference
clocks. The option specifies how many samples are reduced to a single
sample.
The filter is intended to be used with very short polling intervals in
local networks where it is acceptable to generate a lot of NTP traffic.
Move the implementation of the median filter to a separate file to make
it useful for NTP. Replace some constants with parameters and generalize
the code to work with full NTP samples (including root dispersion/delay,
stratum, and leap).
For refclocks it should give the same results as before.
This moves the leap status of the last sample from the source instance
to the sourcestats instance in order to make them both accumulate the
same data.
configure: drop detection of stdint.h and inttypes.h
The current code uses macros from inttypes.h. There is no point in
detecting and selecting between stdint.h and inttypes.h as the latter is
always needed.
In chronyc handle SIGPIPE similarly to SIGTERM. In chronyd ignore the
signal to avoid crashing when a TCP socket will be needed (e.g. for
NTS-KE) and will be unexpectedly closed from the other side.

util: fall back to reading /dev/urandom when getrandom() blocks
With recent changes in the Linux kernel, the getrandom() system call may
block for a long time after boot on machines that don't have enough
entropy. It blocks the chronyd's initialization before it can detach
from the terminal and may cause a chronyd service to fail to start due
to a timeout.
At least for now, enable the GRND_NONBLOCK flag to make the system call
non-blocking and let the code fall back to reading /dev/urandom (which
never blocks) if the system call failed with EAGAIN or any other error.
This makes the start of chronyd non-deterministic with respect to files
that it needs to open and possibly also makes it slightly easier to
guess the transmit/receive timestamp in client requests until the
urandom source is fully initialized.
examples: make nm-dispatcher script usable for networkd-dispatcher
Historically there were plenty of callback based implementations around
ifupdown via /etc/network/if-up and similar. NetworkManager added the
dispatcher [1] feature for such a kind of functionality.
But so far a systemd-networkd (only) systemd had no means to handle those
cases. This is solved by networkd-dispatcher which is currently available
at least in ArchLinux and Ubuntu.
It takes away the responsibility to listen on netlink events in each
application and provides a more classic script-drop-in interface to respond
to networkd events [3].
This commit makes the NM example compatible to be used by NetworkManager
dispatcher as well as by networkd-dispatcher. That way we avoid too much
code duplication and can from now on handle special cases in the
beginning so that the tail can stay commonly used.
After discussion on IRC the current check differs by checking the
argument count (only in NetworkManager), if ever needed we could extend
that to check for known custom environment vars (NetworkManager =>
CONNECTION_UUID; networkd-dispatcher => OperationalState).
The cap_get_bound() function and CAP_IS_SUPPORTED macro were added in
libcap-2.21. Check if the macro is defined before use.
The sys/capability.h header from libcap-2.16 and earlier disables the
linux/types.h header, which breaks the linux/ptp_clock.h header. Change
the order to include sys/capability.h as the last system header.
ntp: fix handling of socket errors with error queue
In the next Linux version the recvmmsg() system call will be probably
fixed to not return socket errors (e.g. due to ICMP) when reading from
the error queue.
The NTP I/O code assumed this was the correct behavior. When the system
call is fixed, a socket error on a client socket will cause chronyd to
enter a busy loop consuming the CPU until the receive timeout is reached
(8 seconds by default).
Use getsockopt(SO_ERROR) to clear the socket error when reading from the
error queue failed.
