> ntp-4.2.8p13 was released on 07 March 2019.
> It addresses 1 medium-severity security issue in ntpd, and provides 17
> other non-security fixes and 1 improvements over 4.2.8p12.
After a series of amendments the seccomp.patch made ntpd work properly
but only on 32-bit systems.
This commit replaces that patch with the one submitted upstream by
cleverca22 and that fixes the issue also on 64-bit systems.

Fixes issue #21136.
The problem is that the seccomp system call filter configured by ntpd did not
include some system calls that were apparently needed. For example the
program hanged in getpid just after the filter was installed:
prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0) = 0
seccomp(SECCOMP_SET_MODE_STRICT, 1, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
seccomp(SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER, 0, {len=41, filter=0x5620d7f0bd90}) = 0
getpid() = ?
I do not know exactly why this is a problem on NixOS only, perhaps we have getpid
caching disabled.
The fcntl and setsockopt system calls also had to be added.
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow

The package would no longer build without libcrypto,
and it wouldn't find it without pkgconfig.
I checked that Debian and Arch do use openssl as a dependency,
so it's probably not so bad a thing to have.
