[LinuxPPS] Patches for kernel 2.6.26-rc8

[Hal V. Engel]

I grabed a copy of kernel 2.6.26-rc8 and applied the latest patch to it.  It 
patched cleanly and built without any issues.  After getting the latest 
version of the user land tools built I have started testing.


Running


ppsldisc /dev/ttyS1


creates the pps device 


tree /sys/class/pps
/sys/class/pps                        
`-- pps0                              
    |-- assert                        
    |-- clear                         
    |-- dev                           
    |-- echo                          
    |-- mode                          
    |-- name                          
    |-- path                          
    |-- power                         
    |   `-- wakeup                    
    |-- subsystem -> ../../pps        
    `-- uevent    


and my udev rules are working since I end up with 


/dev/oncore.tty.0
/dev/oncore.pps.0


So at that point it looks like it should work.  My GPS is running and it 
putting out PPS pulses (I have an LED on the PPS line) but when I test it I 
get:


# ppstest /dev/pps0
trying PPS source "/dev/pps0"
found PPS source "/dev/pps0"
ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data...
time_pps_fetch() error -1 (Connection timed out)
time_pps_fetch() error -1 (Connection timed out)


So it is clear that I am not seeing the PPS pulses for some reason.  What else 
do I need to do to get this working?


Also when I call ppsldisc in my udev rules it appears to fail and I have to 
run it by hand to get the pps device setup.  What needs to be done to get this 
to work as part of the udev rules so that the device is created at boot time?


My current udev rules look like this:


KERNEL=="ttyS1", RUN+="/bin/ppsldisc /dev/%k", SYMLINK+="oncore.serial.0"


KERNEL=="pps0", OWNER="root", GROUP="uucp", MODE="0660", 
SYMLINK+="oncore.pps.0", OPTIONS+="last_rule"
