I think it is for the case that th_generation has changed in
between saving the th and th_counter. If this happens pps->capgen
is set to
0 and later pps_event() returns earlier. Since for uniprocessor
th_generation equal to 0 is not used, I guess we can removed this
if for those configurations
I asked on a FreeBSD mailing list:

Thanks for asking.
I'll prepare and send a new patch removing the "if" for uniprocessor 
configurations just in case.
Please wait with a new patch for a response from FreeBSD.

What is your suggestion here? Should we check the generation only once? Or 
should we leave the code as is and just remove the
"if" in pps_capture() for uniprocessor configurations since th_generation equal 
to zero is not used?

We should first leave the code as is. I don't know when I have time to send 
patches to FreeBSD.

I would like it to be considered to remove the parts where th_generation is 
checked to be equal to zero just for uniprocessor configurations.
The reason is that porting back these changes to RTEMS 5, the test sppps01 
fails because th_generation starts with value zero. Not sure why in RTEMS 6 
th_generation starts with one but since in uniprocessor configuration 
th_generation equal zero is not used, I think it makes sense to not consider 
that case.

Yes, please fix this. What I meant is that we should not change the FreeBSD code in general.
