This adds support for an async version of waitid(2), in a fully async version. If an event isn't immediately available, wait for a callback to trigger a retry. The format of the sqe is as follows: sqe->len The 'which', the idtype being queried/waited for. sqe->fd The 'pid' (or id) being waited for. sqe->file_index The 'options' being set. sqe->addr2 A pointer to siginfo_t, if any, being filled in. buf_index, add3, and waitid_flags are reserved/unused for now. waitid_flags will be used for options for this request type. One interesting use case may be to add multi-shot support, so that the request stays armed and posts a notification every time a monitored process state change occurs. Note that this does not support rusage, on Arnd's recommendation. See the waitid(2) man page for details on the arguments. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
