[PATCH 07/18] flag parameters: timerfd_create

[Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>]

The timerfd_create syscall already has a flags parameter.  It just is
unused so far.  This patch changes this by introducing the TFD_CLOEXEC
flag to set the close-on-exec flag for the returned file descriptor.

A new flag TFD_CLOEXEC is used instead of reusing O_CLOEXEC to prevent
exhaustion of the int bit field in case we need more flags.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

# elif defined __i386__

# else
#  error "need __NR_timerfd_create"

main (void)
{
  int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) set close-on-exec flag");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_CLOEXEC);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) set close-on-exec flag");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  puts ("OK");

  return 0;
