Subject: LinuxPPS new functionalities

This patchset adds several PPS functionalities.

All patches have a specific comment but I prefer say something more:

* Patches 01-02 are just documentation about PPS support.

* Patch 03 adds PPS client support skeleton.

* Patches 04-06 add generic PPS serial support (with specific
modifications requested by Alan Cox).

* Patches 07-08 add PPS serial support for specific hardware.

Ciao,

Rodolfo

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] pps: LinuxPPS clients support.

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 registartion
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.

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] pps: userland header file for PPS API.

This patch adds into the PPS's documentation directory a possible
implementation of the PPS API (RFC 2783) by using the LinuxPPS's char
devices.

This file is not just an example but it can be used into real
systems. :)

Thanks - the serial/tty stuff is much much cleaner in this patch set.

Isn't libc a proper place for this file? This header file provides a
generic standardized interface (PPSAPI) to the custom Linux
implementation (linux/pps.h). I think this is just what libc is for.

I wanted to file a bug in Debian BTS last week to add this header to
libc6-dev package and also push it upstream but something distracted
me. If you agree that the header should be in libc then I can do it now.

Maybe these tools should be in a separate package (say pps-tools)? I've
written several tools too. They are based on your code. I think there
should be at least two of them:

* ppsctl to get/set params, get capabilities and bind/unbind kernel
consumer

* ppstest to fetch data and provide several representations for it

I can assist in this task too.

You are right, but I added that file for documentation purpose also.
Just to illustrate how to implement an high level API with my simple
char device interface.

I agree. :)

Can you please put me in Cc in your letters with the Debian people?

Thanks a lot,

Great! It's ok for me. Please, let me know how we can proceed.

Thanks a lot,

Most (nearly all) functions in n_tty.c have been documented in
kerneldoc form. Let's continue that please.

n_tty_inherit_ops() is of course pretty simple, but OTOH it's a global,
export-to-modules interface.

hm. The n_tty_open/close layering is a bit grubby but I guess we don't
have a need to create anything more comprehensive at this stage.

A small stylistic thing: the code's a bit confusing at present because
the names n_tty_open/n_tty_close are identical to the global functions
over in n_tty.c. A user of ctags will be tricked. Also, the _way_ in
which these function pointers are called:

ret = n_tty_open(tty);

make it look like the code is calling
drivers/char/n_tty.c:n_tty_open(). Except it isn't.

So I think it's better to do it with

ret = (*n_tty_open)(tty);

to avoid misleading the reader.

And perhaps to rename these variables to avoid the duplication with the
global functions.

It could be acceptable using functions
alias_n_tty_open()/alias_n_tty_close() modifying the code as follow?
