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/linux/eventfd.h | 6 ++++++ include/linux/syscalls.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/eventfd.h b/include/linux/eventfd.h index a701399b7fed..a6c0eaedb1b0 100644 --- a/include/linux/eventfd.h +++ b/include/linux/eventfd.h @@ -10,6 +10,12 @@ #ifdef CONFIG_EVENTFD +/* For O_CLOEXEC */ +#include + +/* Flags for eventfd2. */ +#define EFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC + struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd); int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, int n); diff --git a/include/linux/syscalls.h b/include/linux/syscalls.h index 1c2707797845..9ab09926a7f2 100644 --- a/include/linux/syscalls.h +++ b/include/linux/syscalls.h @@ -617,6 +617,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, struct itimerspec __user *otmr); asmlinkage long sys_timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec __user *otmr); asmlinkage long sys_eventfd(unsigned int count); +asmlinkage long sys_eventfd2(unsigned int count, int flags); asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(int fd, int mode, loff_t offset, loff_t len); int kernel_execve(const char *filename, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]); -- cgit v1.2.1
