The ability to read the PHC (Physical Hardware Clock) alongside multiple system clocks is currently dependent on the specific hardware architecture. This limitation restricts the use of PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE to certain hardware configurations. The generic soultion which would work across all architectures is to read the PHC along with the latency to perform PHC-read as offered by PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED which provides pre and post timestamps. However, these timestamps are currently limited to the CLOCK_REALTIME timebase. Since CLOCK_REALTIME is affected by NTP (or similar time synchronization services), it can experience significant jumps forward or backward. This hinders the precise latency measurements that PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED is designed to provide. This problem could be addressed by supporting MONOTONIC_RAW timestamps within PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED. Unlike CLOCK_REALTIME or CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the MONOTONIC_RAW timebase is unaffected by NTP adjustments. This enhancement can be implemented by utilizing one of the three reserved words within the PTP_SYS_OFFSET_EXTENDED struct to pass the clock-id for timestamps. The current behavior aligns with clock-id for CLOCK_REALTIME timebase (value of 0), ensuring backward compatibility of the UAPI.
