Review of real-world results of the above shows that with small initial offsets, freq correction can be allowed to kick in sooner, whereas with large (~0.8s) offsets, we still start freq correction a bit too soon.

2019-07-02libbb: reduce the overhead of single parameter bb_error_msg() callsJames Byrne
Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d43707 ("'simple' error message functions by Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message(). This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(), bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the corresponding 'simple' version. Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal circumstances. This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c, libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c, networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter logging variants exist. The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4): Arm: -92 bytes MIPS: -52 bytes PPC: -1836 bytes x86_64: -938 bytes Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h) because it made these files larger on MIPS.

2019-04-30Optionally re-introduce bb_info_msg()James Byrne
Between Busybox 1.24.2 and 1.25.0 the bb_info_msg() function was eliminated and calls to it changed to be bb_error_msg(). The downside of this is that daemons now log all messages to syslog at the LOG_ERR level which makes it hard to filter errors from informational messages. This change optionally re-introduces bb_info_msg(), controlled by a new option FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO, restores all the calls to bb_info_msg() that were removed (only in applets that set logmode to LOGMODE_SYSLOG or LOGMODE_BOTH), and also changes informational messages in ifplugd and ntpd. The code size change of this is as follows (using 'defconfig' on x86_64 with gcc 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04) function old new delta bb_info_msg - 182 +182 bb_vinfo_msg - 27 +27 static.log7 194 198 +4 log8 190 191 +1 log5 190 191 +1 crondlog 45 - -45 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 2/1 grow/shrink: 3/0 up/down: 215/-45) Total: 170 bytes If you don't care about everything being logged at LOG_ERR level then when FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO is disabled Busybox actually gets smaller: function old new delta static.log7 194 200 +6 log8 190 193 +3 log5 190 193 +3 syslog_level 1 - -1 bb_verror_msg 583 581 -2 crondlog 45 - -45 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/2 grow/shrink: 3/1 up/down: 12/-48) Total: -36 bytes Signed-off-by: James Byrne <james.byrne@origamienergy.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2016-08-01ntpd: respond only to client and symmetric active packetsMiroslav Lichvar
The busybox NTP implementation doesn't check the NTP mode of packets received on the server port and responds to any packet with the right size. This includes responses from another NTP server. An attacker can send a packet with a spoofed source address in order to create an infinite loop of responses between two busybox NTP servers. Adding more packets to the loop increases the traffic between the servers until one of them has a fully loaded CPU and/or network.

2016-07-03ntpd: daemonize before DNS resolutionDenys Vlasenko
This resolves the following use case problem: "I start ntpd by default from /etc/init.d There might be no working network connection (not configured properly for whatever reason, hardware problems, whatelse). With busybox 1.25 ntpd seems to loop forever if now NTP servers are found, blocking the boot process and I never get a login to solve a possible pb or to do a first time configuration."

2016-06-06ntpd: retry initial DNS resolution (forever, no timeout for now).Denys Vlasenko
Some users start ntpd on boot, and don't babysit it. If it dies because DNS is not yet up and therefore NTP servers can't be found, users are not happy. Example behavior with a peer name which can't be resolved: ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ...5 sec... ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ntpd: bad address 'qwe.rty.ghj.kl' ...
