When there are multiple instances of ptp4l or phc2sys running on the system, it's difficult to tell which message belongs to which instance. The first patch adds new options to ptp4l and phc2sys which can be used to specify a different prefix for each instance, so different instances can use different prefixes. One issue is that it's not possible to set the prefix in ptp4l config to its default value (empty string) and the setting can't be included in defaults.cfg.
The second patch adds support for this feature to timemaster. The third patch is an unrelated improvement in timemaster to exit early with an error message when an interface doesn't support neither HW nor SW timestamping. (The patch applies only with the second patch, so it's included here.) Miroslav Lichvar (3): Add options to prefix ptp4l and phc2sys log messages. timemaster: prefix ptp4l and phc2sys messages. timemaster: check support for SW time stamping. config.c | 1 + phc2sys.8 | 4 ++++ phc2sys.c | 9 +++++++-- print.c | 18 ++++++++++++++---- print.h | 1 + ptp4l.8 | 10 ++++++++++ ptp4l.c | 9 ++++++++- timemaster.c | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 8 files changed, 71 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.9.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Linuxptp-devel mailing list Linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxptp-devel
