/*
* Use this to create processes that need to setup a full context
* and sync it with their parents using cheap mechanisms.
*
* This will create two blocking eventfd(s). A pair for the parent and
* the other for the child so they can be used as a notify mechanism.
* Each process will gets its copy of the parent and child eventfds.
*
* This is useful in case:
* 1) If the parent fails or dies, the child must die.
* 2) Child will install PR_SET_PDEATHSIG as soon as possible.
* 3) Parent and child need to sync using less resources.
* 4) If parent is not able to install a SIGCHLD handler:
* parent will wait using a blocking eventfd_read() or
* eventfd_child_succeeded() call on the child eventfd.
*
* * If the child setup succeeded, child should notify with an
* EVENTFD_CHILD_SUCCEEDED, parent will continue.
* * If the child setup failed, child should notify with an
* EVENTFD_CHILD_FAILED before any _exit(). This avoids blocking
* the parent.
*
* 5) If parent is able to install a SIGCHLD handler:
* An empty signal handler without SA_RESTART will do it, since the
* blocking eventfd_read() or eventfd_parent_succeeded() of the
* parent will be interrupted by SIGCHLD and the call will fail with
* EINTR. This is useful in case the child dies abnormaly and did
* not have a chance to notify its parent using EVENTFD_CHILD_FAILED.
*
* 6) Call wait*() in the main instead of the signal handler in order
* to: 1) reduce side effects and 2) have a better handling for
* child termination in order to reduce various race conditions.
*
*
* The return value of clone_with_eventfd() is the same of clone().
* On success the eventfds[] will contain the two eventfd(s). These
* file descriptors can be closed later with safe_close(). On failure,
* a negative value is returned in the caller's context, and errno will
* be set appropriately.
*
* Extra preliminary work:
* 1) Child can wait before starting its setup by using the
* eventfd_recv_start() call on the parent eventfd, in that case the
* parent must notify with EVENTFD_START, after doing any preliminary
* work.
*
* Note: this function depends on systemd internal functions
* safe_close() and it should be used only by direct binaries, no
* libraries.
