Yes, the patch has not been accepted by LKML, no distros add it.

Simple to see:

root at pi2:~# ppstest /dev/pps0
trying PPS source "/dev/pps0"
found PPS source "/dev/pps0"
ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data...
source 0 - assert 1462492791.999966543, sequence: 147766 - clear  0.000000000, sequence: 0
source 0 - assert 1462492792.999970614, sequence: 147767 - clear  0.000000000, sequence: 0
^C

No clear edge is every detected, but the assert ticks away.

Also note my pi2 has ntpd peers, so I know the assert it right on the money:

root at pi2:~# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

8 microSec jitter on PPS, 0.025 milliSec offset from my main GPS PPS server
(spidey).
