OK,
I applied the latest Alex-patch on kernel-2.6.34 and got 'it' working
according to Udo's howto on the PPS wiki.
Interestingly, when I perform a ntpdc -c kern <LinuxPPS machine with hardpps>
the PLL offset remains rock solid 0 sec.
Status now is 0x2107 instead of 0x2007 or 0x2001.
However, when I do a ntpq -p the offset remains .. rock solid 127 us.
When I do not use hardpps the system behaves more 'normal' and displays
with a ntpq -p query to an offset of +/- 0.001 on the same system.
PLL freq without hardpps is 157 ppm and with hardpps 30 ppm.
I remember that there was an issue with CONFIG_NO_HZ.
In my current hardpps kernel CONFIG_NO_HZ is set (y).
Considering the 'rock solid' offset of 127 us, should I change this to 'n' ?
