Add a driver with gettime method returning hosts realtime clock. This allows Chrony to synchronize host and guest clocks with high precision (see results below). chronyc> sources MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample =============================================================================== To configure Chronyd to use PHC refclock, add the following line to its configuration file: refclock PHC /dev/ptpX poll 3 dpoll -2 offset 0 Where /dev/ptpX is the kvmclock PTP clock.

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.
