[PATCH] epoll_pwait()
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of pselect, information is available here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/select.html Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
