perf: Introduce a flag to enable close-on-exec in perf_event_open()
Unlike recent modern userspace API such as:
epoll_create1 (EPOLL_CLOEXEC), eventfd (EFD_CLOEXEC),
fanotify_init (FAN_CLOEXEC), inotify_init1 (IN_CLOEXEC),
signalfd (SFD_CLOEXEC), timerfd_create (TFD_CLOEXEC),
or the venerable general purpose open (O_CLOEXEC),
perf_event_open() syscall lack a flag to atomically set FD_CLOEXEC
(eg. close-on-exec) flag on file descriptor it returns to userspace.
The present patch adds a PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag to allow
perf_event_open() syscall to atomically set close-on-exec.
Having this flag will enable userspace to remove the file descriptor
from the list of file descriptors being inherited across exec,
without the need to call fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) and the
associated race condition between the current thread and another
thread calling fork(2) then execve(2).
