[PATCH 05/18] flag parameters: eventfd

From: Ulrich Drepper
Date: Tue May 06 2008 - 17:29:53 EST


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 <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#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;
}
