linuxptp-1.8-3.el7.1

The linuxptp packages provide Precision Time Protocol (PTP) implementation for
Linux according to IEEE standard 1588 for Linux. The dual design goals are to
provide a robust implementation of the standard and to use the most relevant
and modern Application Programming Interfaces (API) offered by the Linux
kernel.

This update fixes the following bug:

* Previously, the phc2sys program was unable to synchronize the system clock. This behavior occurred when the PTP synchronization rate was higher than the phc2sys update rate, and the PTP state quickly changed to another state and back. To fix this bug, the behavior of phc2sys has been changed to correctly handle multiple state changes. As a result, phc2sys now synchronizes the system clock correctly. (BZ#1489425)

Users of linuxptp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
