Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources' attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism. This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.

PPS (Pulse Per Second) is a special pulse provided by some GPS
|
|
antennae. Userland can use it to get a high-precision time
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
Some antennae's PPS signals are connected with the CD (Carrier
|
|
Detect) pin of the serial line they use to communicate with the
|
|
host. In this case use the SERIAL_LINE client support.
|
|
|
|
Some antennae's PPS signals are connected with some special host
|
|
inputs so you have to enable the corresponding client support.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

will be called pps_core.ko.

Say Y here if you want the PPS support to produce a bunch of debug
|
|
messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
|
|
problem with PPS support and want to see more of what is going on.
