With ntp "-g" starting option, I,E reverting: #2589 , Do you still see the panic? That "-g" worked well for me for difference cases, so just wondering if you see a case where even with "-g" you could get panic. Also I understood this PR won't hurt, just wanted to see if we can get to the bottom of the issue. |

@SuvarnaMeenakshi: Have you had a chance to test @zhenggen-xu's hypothesis? The PR he is referring to was reverted in master yesterday via #4265. |

I tested with "-g" option, that after reverting #2589. I don't see the panic. "-g" works, "tinker panic 0" also works, deciding to keep both. Tested keeping both the options, and works fine. |

- What I did Add configuration to avoid ntpd from panic and exit if the drift between new time and current system time is large. - How I did it Added "tinker panic 0" in ntp.conf file. - How to verify it [this assumes that there is a valid NTP server IP in config_db/ntp.conf] Change the current system time to a bad time with a large drift from time in ntp server; drift should be greater than 1000s. Reboot the device. Before the fix: 3. upon reboot, ntp-config service comes up fine, ntp service goes to active(exited) state without any error message. This is because the offset between new time (from ntp server) and the current system time is very large, ntpd goes to panic mode and exits. The system continues to show the bad time. After the fix: 3. Upon reboot, ntp-config comes up fine, ntp services comes up from and stays in active (running) state. The system clock gets synced with the ntp server time.

- What I did
Add configuration to avoid ntpd from panic and exit if the drift between new time and current system time is large.
- How I did it
Added "tinker panic 0" in ntp.conf file.
- How to verify it
[this assumes that there is a valid NTP server IP in config_db/ntp.conf]
Before the fix:
3. upon reboot, ntp-config service comes up fine, ntp service goes to active(exited) state without any error message. This is because the offset between new time (from ntp server) and the current system time is very large, ntpd goes to panic mode and exits. The system continues to show the bad time.
After the fix:
3. Upon reboot, ntp-config comes up fine, ntp services comes up from and stays in active (running) state. The system clock gets synced with the ntp server time.
