/*
 * ppsthread.c - manage PPS watcher threads
 *
 * To enable KPPS, this file needs to be compiled with -DHAVE_SYS_TIMEPPS_H
 *
 * If you are not good at threads do not touch this file!
 * For example: errno is thread safe; strerror() is not.
 *
 * It helps to know that there are two PPS measurement methods in
 * play.  One is defined by RFC2783 and typically implemented in the
 * kernel.  It is available on FreeBSD, Linux, and NetBSD.  In gpsd it
 * is referred to as KPPS.  KPPS is accessed on Linux via /dev/ppsN
 * devices.  On BSD it is accessed via the same device as the serial
 * port.  This mechanism is preferred as it should provide the smallest
 * latency and jitter from control line transition to timestamp.
 *
 * The other mechanism is user-space PPS, which uses the (not
 * standardized) TIOCMIWAIT ioctl to wait for PPS transitions on
 * serial port control lines.  It is implemented on Linux and OpenBSD.
 *
 * On Linux, RFC2783 PPS requires root permissions for initialization;
 * user-space PPS does not.  User-space PPS loses some functionality
 * when not initialized as root.  In gpsd, user-space PPS is referred
 * to as "plain PPS".
 *
 * On {Free,Net}BSD, RFC2783 PPS should only require access to the
 * serial port, but details have not yet been tested and documented
 * here.
 *
 * Note that for easy debugging all logging from this file is prefixed
 * with PPS or KPPS.
 *
 * To use the thread manager, you need to first fill in the
 * devicefd, devicename, and the four hook function members in the thread
 * context structure. The void *context member is available for your hook
 * functions to use; the thread-monitor code doesn't touch it.
 *
 * After this setup, you can call pps_thread_activate() and the
 * thread will launch.  It is OK to do this before the device is open,
 * the thread will wait on that.
 *
 * WARNING!  Loss of precision
 * UNIX time to nanoSec precision is 62 significant bits
 * UNIX time to nanoSec precision after 2038 is 63 bits
 * a double is only 53 significant bits.
 *
 * You cannot do PPS math with doubles
