  • The DCD pin of the serial port can receive a PPS signal. By calling
    the port line discipline dcd handle, this patch allow to monitor PPS
    through USB serial devices.

    However the performance aren't as good as the uart drivers, so
    document this point too.

  • Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
    send PPS signals. It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
    precisely control the signal.

  • This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
    "LinuxPPS".

    PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
    provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
    use it to adjust system clock time.

    Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
    receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
    synchronisation to UTC.

    To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
    specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
    Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
    provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
    get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
    to these char devices.
