When using a PHC that is shared between multiple hosts, in order to achieve consistent timestamps across all hosts, we need to isolate the PHC from any host making frequency adjustments. This patch adds a non-real time mode for this purpose. The implementation is based on a free running NIC hardware timer which is used as the timestamper time-base. Each host implements individual adjustments to a local timecounter based on the NIC free running timer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
