You might as well be up-to-date, but my hunch is the serial code in
the DDK hasn't changed in a while. It's great the serial.sys source
is there as a baseline.

It sounds like you're on the right track. I believe the typical
approach on Unix does use ioctls, but it's an implementation choice as
long as you provide a matching ppsapi.h. ntpd calls a ppsapi
interface to get the timestamp of the last PPS, which could use
DeviceIoControl to retrieve it. However, there is a complicaton.
Unlike most modern unix platforms, Windows doesn't have a high-
resolution system clock with which to provide a reasonable timestamp
from the serial driver. I think you can overcome this by returning a
KeQueryPerformanceCounter (or whatever drivers call it) "timestamp"
and then hook your ppsapi implementation into the ntpd Windows
interpolation code to translate the performance counter value to a
timestamp. You might also run up against divergent QPC counters on
each processor, though most machines keep them at least roughly
synchronized.
It's a project :)
