From b087498eb5605673b0f260a7620d91818cd72304 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:29:25 -0700 Subject: flag parameters: eventfd 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include #include #include #include #ifndef __NR_eventfd2 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_eventfd2 290 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_eventfd2 328 # else # error "need __NR_eventfd2" # endif #endif #define EFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC int main (void) { int fd = syscall (__NR_eventfd2, 1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("eventfd2(0) failed"); return 1; } int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC) { puts ("eventfd2(0) sets close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_eventfd2, 1, EFD_CLOEXEC); if (fd == -1) { puts ("eventfd2(EFD_CLOEXEC) failed"); return 1; } coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0) { puts ("eventfd2(EFD_CLOEXEC) does not set close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add sys_ni stub] Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper Acked-by: Davide Libenzi Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h | 1 + include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/asm-x86') diff --git a/include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h b/include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h index c310371f561..edbd8723c93 100644 --- a/include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h +++ b/include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h @@ -333,6 +333,7 @@ #define __NR_timerfd_settime 325 #define __NR_timerfd_gettime 326 #define __NR_signalfd4 327 +#define __NR_eventfd2 328 #ifdef __KERNEL__ diff --git a/include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h b/include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h index e0a9b45b234..fb059a6feeb 100644 --- a/include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h +++ b/include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h @@ -643,6 +643,8 @@ __SYSCALL(__NR_timerfd_gettime, sys_timerfd_gettime) __SYSCALL(__NR_paccept, sys_paccept) #define __NR_signalfd4 289 __SYSCALL(__NR_signalfd4, sys_signalfd4) +#define __NR_eventfd2 290 +__SYSCALL(__NR_eventfd2, sys_eventfd2) #ifndef __NO_STUBS -- cgit v1.2.3
