    flag parameters: timerfd_create · 11fcb6c1
    Ulrich Drepper authored
    The timerfd_create syscall already has a flags parameter.  It just is
    unused so far.  This patch changes this by introducing the TFD_CLOEXEC
    flag to set the close-on-exec flag for the returned file descriptor.
    
    A new name TFD_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.
