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 --- arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S b/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S index c308128b925..cf0eb31745c 100644 --- a/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S +++ b/arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S @@ -827,4 +827,5 @@ ia32_sys_call_table: .quad compat_sys_timerfd_settime /* 325 */ .quad compat_sys_timerfd_gettime .quad compat_sys_signalfd4 + .quad sys_eventfd2 ia32_syscall_end: diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S b/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S index c12a36c9fd5..cf112cb11c3 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S @@ -327,3 +327,4 @@ ENTRY(sys_call_table) .long sys_timerfd_settime /* 325 */ .long sys_timerfd_gettime .long sys_signalfd4 + .long sys_eventfd2 -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
