Add a PTP clock driver called ptp_vmw, for guests running on VMware ESXi hypervisor. The driver attaches to a VMware virtual device called "precision clock" that provides a mechanism for querying host system time. Similar to existing virtual PTP clock drivers (e.g. ptp_kvm), ptp_vmw utilizes the kernel's PTP hardware clock API to implement a clock device that can be used as a reference in Chrony for synchronizing guest time with host. The driver is only applicable to x86 guests running in VMware virtual machines with precision clock virtual device present. It uses a VMware specific hypercall mechanism to read time from the device.

The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
|
|
synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
|
|
standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
|
|
be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
|
|
microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
|
|
time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
|
|
synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.

This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character

|
devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
|
|
also enable at least one clock driver as well.
