* Execute close syscall for given FD.

+ * long bpf_timer_init(struct bpf_timer *timer, struct bpf_map *map, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Initialize the timer.
+ * First 4 bits of *flags* specify clockid.
+ * Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_BOOTTIME are allowed.
+ * All other bits of *flags* are reserved.

+ * **-EINVAL** if invalid *flags* are passed.
+ * **-EPERM** if *timer* is in a map that doesn't have any user references.
+ * The user space should either hold a file descriptor to a map with timers
+ * or pin such map in bpffs. When map is unpinned or file descriptor is
+ * closed all timers in the map will be cancelled and freed.

+ * Configure the timer to call *callback_fn* static function.

+ * long bpf_timer_start(struct bpf_timer *timer, u64 nsecs, u64 flags)
+ * Description
+ * Set timer expiration N nanoseconds from the current time. The
+ * configured callback will be invoked in soft irq context on some cpu
+ * and will not repeat unless another bpf_timer_start() is made.
+ * In such case the next invocation can migrate to a different cpu.
+ * Since struct bpf_timer is a field inside map element the map
+ * owns the timer. The bpf_timer_set_callback() will increment refcnt
+ * of BPF program to make sure that callback_fn code stays valid.
+ * When user space reference to a map reaches zero all timers
+ * in a map are cancelled and corresponding program's refcnts are
+ * decremented. This is done to make sure that Ctrl-C of a user
+ * process doesn't leave any timers running. If map is pinned in
+ * bpffs the callback_fn can re-arm itself indefinitely.
+ * bpf_map_update/delete_elem() helpers and user space sys_bpf commands
+ * cancel and free the timer in the given map element.
+ * The map can contain timers that invoke callback_fn-s from different
+ * programs. The same callback_fn can serve different timers from
+ * different maps if key/value layout matches across maps.
+ * Every bpf_timer_set_callback() can have different callback_fn.
+ *
+ * Return
+ * 0 on success.
+ * **-EINVAL** if *timer* was not initialized with bpf_timer_init() earlier
+ * or invalid *flags* are passed.
+ *
+ * long bpf_timer_cancel(struct bpf_timer *timer)
+ * Description
+ * Cancel the timer and wait for callback_fn to finish if it was running.
+ * Return
+ * 0 if the timer was not active.
+ * 1 if the timer was active.
+ * **-EINVAL** if *timer* was not initialized with bpf_timer_init() earlier.
+ * **-EDEADLK** if callback_fn tried to call bpf_timer_cancel() on its
+ * own timer which would have led to a deadlock otherwise.
