From a0998b50c3f0b8fdd265c63e0032f86ebe377dbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:29:27 -0700 Subject: flag parameters: epoll_create 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 #include #include #include #include #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 Acked-by: Davide Libenzi Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S b/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S index cf112cb11c37..4d7007ca263d 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S +++ b/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 -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
