No. PPS is unrelated to the kernel PPL. It is a totally separate
kernel module.

Yes.

Yes, but not as well in user space.

No. Twice a second. But now you are confusing the PPS with the PLL.

And a LOT more jitter.

Bad assumption.

Agreed, but the jitter is. Also the frequency of updates is
different by orders of magnitude.

As I have just seen. Very dufferent results.

Yes, it was. That is the recent bug fixes.

Until Sep 26, then it got fixed. But once again, unrelated to PPS or
PLL.
