Hi Miroslav Lichvar,

Sorry for long log files. Next time I will upload less sized log.

Will there be a release for this fix.

Current version I am using is 3.5 of chrony for which yocto recipe exists.

Thanks & Regards

Please don't post such large files to the list. Few hundred lines of
each would be enough, or if needed, upload it on a file hosting
service and just post the links here.

The logs mostly look good to me. There are some larger offset, but
it's difficult to tell what is the cause. Could be varying load on the
CPU, unstable temperature, etc.

The reason for chronyc sources sometimes showing 2 as LastRx, even
when no samples are lost, seems to be incorrect rounding of the sample
time. I can fix that.

Right, it's polling for the pin to change. It's more accurate, but
comes at a cost of the CPU load.

The RMS offset in tracking report is an indicator of stability. To
determine accuracy you would need a more accurate time source, e.g. a
NIC with HW-timestamping PPS input.

That doesn't do anything useful. It's just stepping the clock to the
current estimate of true time.
