    flag parameters: eventfd · b087498e
    Ulrich Drepper authored
    This patch adds the new eventfd2 syscall.  It extends the old eventfd
    syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value.  In this
    patch the only flag support is EFD_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec
    flag for the returned file descriptor to be set.
    
    A new name EFD_CLOEXEC is introduced which in this implementation must
    have the same value as O_CLOEXEC.
    
    The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
    x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
