Subject: flag parameters: timerfd_create

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.

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

#ifndef __NR_timerfd_create
# ifdef __x86_64__
#  define __NR_timerfd_create 283
# elif defined __i386__
#  define __NR_timerfd_create 322
# else
#  error "need __NR_timerfd_create"
# endif
#endif

#define TFD_CLOEXEC O_CLOEXEC

int
main (void)
{
  int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  int coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if (coe & FD_CLOEXEC)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) set close-on-exec flag");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_CLOEXEC);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  coe = fcntl (fd, F_GETFD);
  if (coe == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if ((coe & FD_CLOEXEC) == 0)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_CLOEXEC) set close-on-exec flag");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  puts ("OK");

  return 0;
}
