I mean the counter on the PPS /sys/class/pps/pps*/{clear,assert}
virtual files.  You can just record the current time and the counter
value on one day, then do the same the next day. The counter should
match exactly the number of seconds elapsed if the PPS signal has been
reliable.  You can also check the kernel timestamp associated with the
counter but that may drift from what NTP reports.
