DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

On Linux Platforms, DB2 FCM threads (db2fmcs and db2fcmr) may 
hang in select() system call due to possibly reaching file 
descriptor limit . The symptom would be hard to confirm via a 
stack trace of the FCM threads since the stack generation tools 
(db2pd -stack, pstack, gstack, gcore) will all clear up the 
hang. 
 
With this APAR db2fcm (s and r)  threads will have the ability 
to use epoll() instead of select() since epoll() does not have 
the file descriptor limit that select() has.  This change will 
not be by default but instead enabled via a registry variable - 
DB2_FCM_FDPOLL.  The default for this registry variable will be 
FALSE on Linux.
