Subject: [ruby-core:56667] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8788] use eventfd on newer	Linux instead of pipe for timer thread


Issue #8788 has been updated by normalperson (Eric Wong).

File 0001-thread_pthread-use-eventfd-under-Linux-for-timer-thr.patch added

Ignore my first patch, eventfd_compat function should have void return, not int.
Sorry for the confusion

Feature #8788: use eventfd on newer Linux instead of pipe for timer thread
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8788#change-41202

Target version: current: 2.1.0


eventfd is a cheaper alternative to pipe for self-notification (signals) on Linux

I will submit patches in the next few days/weeks unless there are objections
(or somebody else wants to do it sooner).  I'd also like to cleanup some of the existing #ifdefs in that area while I'm at it.
