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 <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#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;
}
