flag parameters: eventfd

Browse Source 
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.

  close (fd);

  fd = syscall (__NR_eventfd2, 1, EFD_CLOEXEC);
  if (fd == -1)

      return 1;
