From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch adds the new epoll_create2 syscall. It extends the old epoll_create syscall by one parameter which is meant to hold a flag value. In this patch the only flag support is EPOLL_CLOEXEC which causes the close-on-exec flag for the returned file descriptor to be set. A new name EPOLL_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 <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #ifndef __NR_epoll_create2 # ifdef __x86_64__ # define __NR_epoll_create2 291 # elif defined __i386__ # define __NR_epoll_create2 329 # else # error "need __NR_epoll_create2" # endif #endif #define EPOLL_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC int main (void) { int fd = syscall (__NR_epoll_create2, 1, 0); if (fd == -1) { puts ("epoll_create2(0) failed"); return 1; } int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC) { puts ("epoll_create2(0) set close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); fd = syscall (__NR_epoll_create2, 1, EPOLL_CLOEXEC); if (fd == -1) { puts ("epoll_create2(EPOLL_CLOEXEC) failed"); return 1; } coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD); if (coe == -1) { puts ("fcntl failed"); return 1; } if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0) { puts ("epoll_create2(EPOLL_CLOEXEC) set close-on-exec flag"); return 1; } close (fd); puts ("OK"); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <linux-arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S | 1 + fs/eventpoll.c | 13 +++++++++++-- include/asm-x86/unistd_32.h | 1 + include/asm-x86/unistd_64.h | 2 ++ include/linux/eventpoll.h | 4 ++++ include/linux/syscalls.h | 1 + 7 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S~flag-parameters-epoll_create arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S --- a/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S~flag-parameters-epoll_create +++ a/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S @@ -745,4 +745,5 @@ ia32_sys_call_table: .quad compat_sys_timerfd_gettime .quad compat_sys_signalfd4 .quad sys_eventfd2 + .quad sys_epoll_create2 ia32_syscall_end: diff -puN arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S~flag-parameters-epoll_create arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S --- a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S~flag-parameters-epoll_create +++ a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S @@ -328,3 +328,4 @@ ENTRY(sys_call_table) .long sys_timerfd_gettime .long sys_signalfd4 .long sys_eventfd2 + .long sys_epoll_create2 diff -puN fs/eventpoll.c~flag-parameters-epoll_create fs/eventpoll.c --- a/fs/eventpoll.c~flag-parameters-epoll_create +++ a/fs/eventpoll.c @@ -1046,11 +1046,14 @@ retry: * RB tree.
