The PHY provides only 39b timestamp. With current timing implementation, we discard lower 7b, leaving 32b timestamp. The driver reconstructs the full 64b timestamp by correlating the 32b timestamp with cached_time for performance. The reconstruction algorithm does both forward & backward interpolation. The 32b timeval has overflow duration of 2^32 counts ~= 4.23 second. Due to interpolation in both direction, its now ~= 2.125 second IIRC, going with at least half a duration, the cached_time is updated with periodic thread of 1 second (worst-case) periodicity. But the 1 second periodicity is based on System-timer. With PPB adjustments, if the 1588 timers increments at say double the rate, (2s in-place of 1s), the Nyquist rate/half duration sampling/update of cached_time with 1 second periodic thread will lead to incorrect interpolations. Hence we should restrict the PPB adjustments to at least half duration of cached_time update which translates to 500,000,000 PPB. Since the periodicity of the cached-time system thread can vary, it is good to have some buffer time and considering practicality of PPB adjustments, limiting the max_adj to 100,000,000.

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.
