/*
 * SHIFT_PLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in PLL mode.
 * It also used in dampening the offset correction, to define how
 * much of the current value in time_offset we correct for each
 * second. Changing this value changes the stiffness of the ntp
 * adjustment code. A lower value makes it more flexible, reducing
 * NTP convergence time. A higher value makes it stiffer, increasing
 * convergence time, but making the clock more stable.
 *
 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_PLL is 4.
 * However this seems to increase convergence time much too long.
 *
 * https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2008-January/003487.html
 *
 * In the above mailing list discussion, it seems the value of 4
 * was appropriate for other Unix systems with HZ=100, and that
 * SHIFT_PLL should be decreased as HZ increases. However, Linux's
 * clock steering implementation is HZ independent.
 *
 * Through experimentation, a SHIFT_PLL value of 2 was found to allow
 * for fast convergence (very similar to the NTPv3 code used prior to
 * v2.6.19), with good clock stability.
 *
 *
 * SHIFT_FLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in FLL mode.
 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_FLL is 2.
 *
 * MAXTC establishes the maximum time constant of the PLL.
