Subject: [PATCH 15/18] flag parameters: NONBLOCK in timerfd_create

This patch adds support for the TFD_NONBLOCK flag to timerfd_create.  The
additional changes needed are minimal.

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_NONBLOCK O_NONBLOCK

int
main (void)
{
  int fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, 0);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  int fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
  if (fl == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if (fl & O_NONBLOCK)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(0) set non-blocking mode");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  fd = syscall (__NR_timerfd_create, CLOCK_REALTIME, TFD_NONBLOCK);
  if (fd == -1)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_NONBLOCK) failed");
      return 1;
    }
  fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
  if (fl == -1)
    {
      puts ("fcntl failed");
      return 1;
    }
  if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0)
    {
      puts ("timerfd_create(TFD_NONBLOCK) set non-blocking mode");
      return 1;
    }
  close (fd);

  puts ("OK");

  return 0;
}
