[RFC,v3,1/3] ethdev: add frequency adjustment API
Checks
Commit Message
This patch introduces a new timesync API "rte_eth_timesync_adjust_fine"
which enables finer adjustment of the PHC clock. During PTP timesync,
"rte_eth_timesync_adjust_time" focuses on phase adjustment while
"rte_eth_timesync_adjust_fine" focuses on frequency adjustment.
This new function gets the scaled_ppm (desired frequency offset from
nominal frequency in parts per million, but with a 16 bit binary
fractional field).

/**
+ * Adjust the frequency of the PHC cycle counter by the indicated amount
+ * from the base frequency.
+ *
+ * This function is used to do hardware timestamp adjustment in fine
+ * granularity. It can be used in conjunction with rte_eth_timesync_adjust_time
+ * to do more precise time control.
+ *
+ * E.g, below is a simple usage:
+ * if master offset > master offset threshold
+ * do rte_eth_timesync_adjust_time;
+ * else
+ * do rte_eth_timesync_adjust_fine;
+ *
+ * The user can apply a control algorithm to leverage these two APIs, one
+ * example is in dpdk-ptpclient.
+ *
+ * This API is implemented with the below basic logic:
+ * - Determine a base frequency value
+ * - Multiply this by the abs() of the requested adjustment, then divide by
+ * the appropriate divisor (65536 billion).
+ * - Add or subtract this difference from the base frequency to calculate a
+ * new adjustment.
+ *
+ * @param port_id
+ * The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
+ * @param scaled_ppm
+ * Desired frequency change in scaled parts per million. Scaled parts per
+ * million is ppm with a 16-bit binary fractional field.
+ *
+ * @return
+ * - 0: Success.
+ * - -ENODEV: The port ID is invalid.
+ * - -EIO: if device is removed.
+ * - -ENOTSUP: The function is not supported by the Ethernet driver.
