Thanks to the GCC compile farm project, we can wire up syscalls
for sparc64 and set system-specific SFD_* constants properly.
I've FINALLY figured out how to use POSIX::SigSet to generate
a usable buffer for the syscall perlfunc. This is required
for endian-neutral behavior and relevant to sparc64, at least.
There's no need for signalfd-related stuff to be constants,
either. signalfd initialization is never a hot path and a stub
subroutine for constants uses several KB of memory in the
interpreter.
We'll drop the needless SEEK_CUR import while we're importing
O_NONBLOCK, too.

Just like the EPOLL_CTL_ADD emulation path, the EPOLL_CTL_MOD
and EPOLL_CTL_DEL emulation paths can fail if attempting to
install an EVFILT_WRITE for a read-only pipe.
I've only observed this on the EPOLL_CTL_DEL emulation path, but
I suspect it could happen on the EPOLL_CTL_MOD path as well.
Increasing the amount of read-only pipes we rely on with altid
exports via sqlite3 made this old bug more apparent and
reproducible while looping the test suite.
This may be adjusted in the future to deal with write-only
pipes, but we currently don't have any of those watched by
kqueue.

NNTP TLS and COMPRESS support and cgit spawning from
the WWW interface were implemented last year.
Given the lack of syscall number stability guarantee on the
OpenBSD and FreeBSD, I don't think supporting a pure-Perl kevent
is feasible. Inline::C may still be an option since IO::KQueue
is abandoned, though, as it is for some Linux-only syscalls and
maybe some POSIX ones not covered by POSIX.pm.

I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!

Our attempt at using a self-pipe in signal handlers was
ineffective, since pure Perl code execution is deferred
and Perl doesn't use an internal self-pipe/eventfd. In
retrospect, I actually prefer the simplicity of Perl in
this regard...
We can use sigprocmask() from Perl, so we can introduce
signalfd(2) and EVFILT_SIGNAL support on Linux and *BSD-based
systems, respectively. These OS primitives allow us to avoid a
race where Perl checks for signals right before epoll_wait() or
kevent() puts the process to sleep.
The (few) systems nowadays without signalfd(2) or IO::KQueue
will now see wakeups every second to avoid missed signals.

Oops, IO::KQueue support was broken due to this missing
constant. Add a new ds-kqxs.t test case to ensure we
test the IO::KQueue path if IO::KQueue is available.

EV_DISPATCH is actually a better match for EPOLLONESHOT
semantics than EV_ONESHOT in that it doesn't require EV_ADD
for every mod operation.
Blindly using EV_ADD everywhere forces the FreeBSD kernel to
do extra allocations up front, so it's best avoided.

We don't need extra wakeups from the kernel when we know a
listener is already active.

On Linux systems with epoll support, we don't want to be
clobbering defined subs in the t/ds-poll.t test; so use
OO ->method dispatch instead and require users to explicitly
import subs via EXPORT_OK.
|
|
We don't need to code multiple event loops or have branches in
watch() if we can easily make the IO::KQueue-based interface
look like our lower-level epoll_* API.
