If you turn on flag3 for a PPS driver on a Linux system, you get this error
message:
06-20T12:25:32 ntpd[988]: refclock_params: kernel PLL (hardpps, RFC 1589) not
implemented
I poked around a bit. Those options are in drivers/pps/Kconfig Here is the
key chunk:
config NTP_PPS
bool "PPS kernel consumer support"
depends on !NO_HZ
help
This option adds support for direct in-kernel time
synchronization using an external PPS signal.
It doesn't work on tickless systems at the moment.
So I pulled over the sources and built a kernel with NO_HZ turned off and
NTP_PPS turned on.
The next project is to figure out why it works so much better, or rather why
the normal ntpd can't do a lot better.

These are my opinions. I hate spam.
