From f1ecf06854a66ee663f4d4cf029c78cd62a15e04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas De Marchi Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 13:39:22 -0700 Subject: sysctl: add support for poll() Adding support for poll() in sysctl fs allows userspace to receive notifications of changes in sysctl entries. This adds a infrastructure to allow files in sysctl fs to be pollable and implements it for hostname and domainname.
