2011-01-13pps: add parallel port PPS signal generatorAlexander Gordeev1-1/+1
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.

2010-03-12pps: LinuxPPS clients supportRodolfo Giometti1-0/+1
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.

2009-06-18LinuxPPS: core supportRodolfo Giometti1-0/+8
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.
