[chrony-dev] PPSAPI: kernel consumer

[Alexander Gordeev <lasaine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Do you plan to add a way to bind kernel consumer in chrony's new PPS
driver? This is an optional feature of PPSAPI as you surely know.
I've recently posted some patches to lkml, which add this feature to
Linux kernel:

I hope it will eventually be mainline.
I know also that FreeBSD implements kernel consumer as well.

I've tested chrony's PPS driver and I'm really shocked with its
synchronization quality. It is a HUGE improvement over ntpd. It was
hard to believe that it can sync clock with a precision of 1-2us but
it is true. However, my new kernel consumer seems to be able to keep the
same precision, but it can sync faster (in few seconds). I'll try to
make it even better. Maybe you can suggest how to improve it? I'm only
about half a year in all of this. :)
