The motivation for this change is to allow wrappers around shm to be written that don't set CLOEXEC. kern_shm_open currently accepts O_CLOEXEC but sets it unconditionally. kern_shm_open is used by the shm_open(2) syscall, which is mandated by POSIX to set CLOEXEC, and CloudABI's sys_fd_create1(). Presumably O_CLOEXEC is intended in the latter caller, but it's unclear from the context. sys_shm_open() now unconditionally sets O_CLOEXEC to meet POSIX requirements, and a comment has been dropped in to kern_fd_open() to explain the situation and add a pointer to where O_CLOEXEC setting is maintained for shm_open(2) correctness. CloudABI's sys_fd_create1() also unconditionally sets O_CLOEXEC to match previous behavior. This also has the side-effect of making flags correctly reflect the O_CLOEXEC status on this fd for the rest of kern_shm_open(), but a glance-over leads me to believe that it didn't really matter.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
