Hi there, I am currently working on moving the linux_compat implementation of timerfd (in sys/compat/linux/linux_event.c) into its own FreeBSD syscall similar to what was done for eventfd. This is my first time implementing a syscall, so I have been following the eventfd implementation as a reference. I noticed that the eventfd syscall entries are absent from sys/kern/syscalls.master and I am not sure why. Was eventfd never formally added as a syscall entry or am I missing something? I was planning on adding timerfd entries to syscalls.master, but now I am unsure how to proceed. I apologize for my ignorance. This process is new to me. Thank you, Jake Freeland
