Change Details

timerfd uses the specialfd infrastructure in the kernel so a libc wrapper must be used to expose the user API. This patch accompanies native support for Linux's timerfd here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D38459 (man pages are coming)

The timerfd_create(), timerfd_gettime() and timerfd_settime() functions are not traditional syscalls because they're exposed through the specialfd interface and ioctl(). These calls have no entry in the syscall table, so their stubs are not auto generated. Instead, use a libc wrapper to expose the timerfd user API.
