/* High-level description of the algorithm:
 *
 * We start running with very small poll_exp, BURSTPOLL,
 * in order to quickly accumulate INITIAL_SAMPLES datapoints
 * for each peer. Then, time is stepped if the offset is larger
 * than STEP_THRESHOLD, otherwise it isn't; anyway, we enlarge
 * poll_exp to MINPOLL and enter frequency measurement step:
 * we collect new datapoints but ignore them for WATCH_THRESHOLD
 * seconds. After WATCH_THRESHOLD seconds we look at accumulated
 * offset and estimate frequency drift.
 *
 * (frequency measurement step seems to not be strictly needed,
 * it is conditionally disabled with USING_INITIAL_FREQ_ESTIMATION
 * define set to 0)
 *
 * After this, we enter "steady state": we collect a datapoint,
 * we select the best peer, if this datapoint is not a new one
 * (IOW: if this datapoint isn't for selected peer), sleep
 * and collect another one; otherwise, use its offset to update
 * frequency drift, if offset is somewhat large, reduce poll_exp,
 * otherwise increase poll_exp.
 *
 * If offset is larger than STEP_THRESHOLD, which shouldn't normally
 * happen, we assume that something "bad" happened (computer
 * was hibernated, someone set totally wrong date, etc),
 * then the time is stepped, all datapoints are discarded,
 * and we go back to steady state.

/* Upstream ntpd's options:

 * -a   Require cryptographic authentication for broadcast client,
 *      multicast client and symmetric passive associations.
 *      This is the default.
 * -A   Do not require cryptographic authentication for broadcast client,
 *      multicast client and symmetric passive associations.
 *      This is almost never a good idea.
 * -b   Enable the client to synchronize to broadcast servers.
 * -c conffile
 *      Specify the name and path of the configuration file,
 *      default /etc/ntp.conf
 * -d   Specify debugging mode. This option may occur more than once,
 *      with each occurrence indicating greater detail of display.
 * -D level
 *      Specify debugging level directly.
 * -f driftfile
 *      Specify the name and path of the frequency file.
 *      This is the same operation as the "driftfile FILE"
 *      configuration command.
 * -g   Normally, ntpd exits with a message to the system log
 *      if the offset exceeds the panic threshold, which is 1000 s
 *      by default. This option allows the time to be set to any value
 *      without restriction; however, this can happen only once.
 *      If the threshold is exceeded after that, ntpd will exit
 *      with a message to the system log. This option can be used
 *      with the -q and -x options. See the tinker command for other options.
 * -i jaildir
 *      Chroot the server to the directory jaildir. This option also implies
 *      that the server attempts to drop root privileges at startup
 *      (otherwise, chroot gives very little additional security).
 *      You may need to also specify a -u option.
 * -k keyfile
 *      Specify the name and path of the symmetric key file,
 *      default /etc/ntp/keys. This is the same operation
 *      as the "keys FILE" configuration command.
 * -l logfile
 *      Specify the name and path of the log file. The default
 *      is the system log file. This is the same operation as
 *      the "logfile FILE" configuration command.
 * -L   Do not listen to virtual IPs. The default is to listen.
 * -n   Don't fork.
 * -N   To the extent permitted by the operating system,
 *      run the ntpd at the highest priority.
 * -p pidfile
 *      Specify the name and path of the file used to record the ntpd
 *      process ID. This is the same operation as the "pidfile FILE"
 *      configuration command.
 * -P priority
 *      To the extent permitted by the operating system,
 *      run the ntpd at the specified priority.
 * -q   Exit the ntpd just after the first time the clock is set.
 *      This behavior mimics that of the ntpdate program, which is
 *      to be retired. The -g and -x options can be used with this option.
 *      Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.
 * -r broadcastdelay
 *      Specify the default propagation delay from the broadcast/multicast
 *      server to this client. This is necessary only if the delay
 *      cannot be computed automatically by the protocol.
 * -s statsdir
 *      Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics
 *      facility. This is the same operation as the "statsdir DIR"
 *      configuration command.
 * -t key
 *      Add a key number to the trusted key list. This option can occur
 *      more than once.
 * -u user[:group]
 *      Specify a user, and optionally a group, to switch to.
 * -v variable
 * -V variable
 *      Add a system variable listed by default.
 * -x   Normally, the time is slewed if the offset is less than the step
 *      threshold, which is 128 ms by default, and stepped if above
 *      the threshold. This option sets the threshold to 600 s, which is
 *      well within the accuracy window to set the clock manually.
 *      Note: since the slew rate of typical Unix kernels is limited
 *      to 0.5 ms/s, each second of adjustment requires an amortization
 *      interval of 2000 s. Thus, an adjustment as much as 600 s
 *      will take almost 14 days to complete. This option can be used
 *      with the -g and -q options. See the tinker command for other options.
 *      Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this option.
