            See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885740
  * Changes to individual pages
      clock_nanosleep.2
      futex.2
      nanosleep.2
      poll.2
      sigaction.2
      sigreturn.2

        SEE ALSO: add restart_syscall(2)
      open.2
        Remove warning that O_DIRECTORY is only for use with opendir(3)
            O_DIRECTORY can also be used with, for example, O_PATH.
      perf_event_open.2
        Improve PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK documentation
        Fix indentation of the MMAP layout section
            The indentation of the MMAP layout section wasn't quite right.
            I think this improves things but I admit I'm not an expert at the
            low-level indentation directives.
        Update PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP info
            It turns out PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP was broken from 75f937f24bd9
            (in Linux 2.6.31, the initial perf_event release) until
            724b6daa1 (Linux 3.4).
            I've done some extensive kernel source code digging plus
            running tests of various kernels and I hope the info
            presented is accurate now.
            (Patch edited somewhat by mtk.)
        Improve sysfs files documentation
            This improves the documentation of the various
            perf_event_open()-related sysfs files.
      ptrace.2
        If SEIZE was used, initial auto-attach stop is EVENT_STOP
            For every PTRACE_O_TRACEfoo option, mention that old-style SIGSTOP
            is replaced by PTRACE_EVENT_STOP if PTRACE_SEIZE attach was used.
            Mention the same thing again in the description of
            PTRACE_EVENT_STOP.
        Mention that PTRACE_PEEK* libc API and kernel API are different
        Clarify PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN, and group-stop behavior
      readlink.2
        Document use of empty 'pathname' argument
        Change error check in example program from "< 0" to "== -1"
      setpgid.2
        s/SIGTSTP/SIGTTIN/ when discussing reads from terminal
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60504

            The function dirfd() is thread safe.
      div.3
        ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe
            The functions div(), ldiv(), lldiv() and imaxdiv() are thread

            The functions fabs(), fabsf() and fabsl() are thread safe.
      fdim.3
        ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe
            The functions fdim(), fdimf() and fdiml() are thread safe.
      fflush.3
        ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is thread-safe
            The function fflush() is thread safe.

            The functions finite(), finitef(), finitel(), isinf(), isinff(),
            isinfl(), isnan(), isnanf() and isnanl() are thread safe.
      flockfile.3
        ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe
            The functions flockfile(), ftrylockfile() and funlockfile() are
            thread safe.
      floor.3

            The functions floor(), floorf() and floorl() are thread safe.
      resolv.conf.5
        Explain how to set empty domain
            See http://bugs.debian.org/463575
      capabilities.7
        Add open_by_handle_at(2) under CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
      inotify.7
        Clarify description of IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO
      man-pages.7
        DESCRIPTION should note versions for new interface features or behavior
      udp.7
        Add missing #include directive
            Using the UDP_CORK socket option documented in udp.7 requires
            including <netinet/udp.h>.

        Describe $PLATFORM rpath token
        Describe $LIB rpath token
        Document LD_BIND_NOT
        Add reference to pthreads(7) in discussion of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
      readlink.2
        Fix possible race condition in readlink.2 example
            I noticed that the example in the readlink.2 man pages does error
            checking for a race condition that would cause the value of the
            symbolic link to get larger.  However, it doesn't handle the
            opposite case, in which the value gets shorter.  (The NULL
            terminator is always set at the old, longer offset.)  This could
            cause the program to operate on uninitialized data.
- removed source gai.conf.5 as upstream provides it yet
- added fanotify_init.2, fanotify_mark.2, open_by_handle_at.2, 
  name_to_handle_at.2

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jul 15 13:28:05 CEST 2013 - pgajdos@suse.cz

- update to version 3.52
  * Various pages that formerly lacked the information now have 
    a note under RETURN VALUE that errno is set on error.
  * Peng Haitao has submitted patches to around 50 pages that note 
    functions that are thread-safe or thread-unsafe. For this 
    purpose, the man-pages add a new section, ATTRIBUTES, as 
    described in the man-pages(7) manual page. Peng Haitao's 
    substantial work is ongoing, and more pages will add this 
    information in the future.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May  2 10:14:33 CEST 2013 - pgajdos@suse.cz

- update to version 3.51
  * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
      sched_rr_get_interval.2
        Document /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
      proc.5
        Document /proc/[pid]/map_files directory
            This directory was added in Linux v3.3 and provides info about
            files being mmap-ed in a way very similar to how /proc/[pid]/fd
            works.
            v2: Added examples of how links look like and noted dependency
            on kernel config option CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
        Document /proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced
      capabilities.7
        Document /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap
  * Global changes

  * Various pages
        Global fix: s/since kernel/since Linux/
  * Various System V IPC pages in Section 2
        Add "System V" to .TH line and text
            Make it clear that these pages relate to System V IPC,
            not POSIX IPC.
  * Changes to individual pages
      access.2
        Clarify RETURN VALUE for F_OK
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705293
      alarm.2
        Correct the description of behavior when 'seconds' is 0
      clone.2
        Add prototype for syscall to SYNOPSIS
            And further clarify the distinction between the system call
            and the wrapper function in the introductory text.
        Update feature test macro requirements
            The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14
            See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749
        Clarify differences between clone2() syscall and wrapper function
        Note those architectures where the sys_clone argument order differs
        Add short subsection noting that blackfin, m68k, and sparc are different
        Move clone2() text to subsection in description
            The description of ia64 clone2() should follow the discussion
            of the raw system call interface.
        Change subhead for ia64 discussion
      getcpu.2
        Recommend that 'tcache' should be specified as NULL nowadays
      io_cancel.2
        Improve description
      io_destroy.2
        Improve description
            The description was rather vague, citing a "list of I/O contexts"
            and stating that it "can" cancel outstanding requests.  This
            update makes things more concrete so that the reader knows exactly
            what's going on.
      io_getevents.2
        The 'timeout' argument is not updated
            I looked back through the kernel code, and the timeout was
            never updated in any case.  I've submitted a patch upstream
            to change the comment above io_getevents.
      io_setup.2
        Clarify nr_events
            nr_events is technically the number of completion events that can
            be stored in the completion ring.  The wording of the man page:
            "capable of receiving at least nr_events" seems dubious to me,
            only because I worry that folks might interpret that to mean
            'nr_events' total, instead of 'nr_events' concurrently.
            Further, I've added information on where to find the per-user
            limit on 'nr_events', /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr.  Let me know if
            you think that is not relevant.
      listxattr.2
        Explain use of 'size' argument
      lseek.2
        _GNU_SOURCE must be defined to get SEEK_DATE and SEEK_HOLE definitions
            See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15312
      mmap.2
        Add pointers to relevant /proc files described in proc(5)
      posix_fadvise.2
      pread.2
      readahead.2
      sync_file_range.2
      truncate.2
        Refer to syscall(2) for ABI semantics on certain 32-bit architectures
            Also: in sync_file_range.2 and posix_fadvise.2 remove description
            of conventional calling signature as flawed, and in
            posix_fadvise.2, de-emphasize focus on ARM, and rather phrase
            as a more general discussion of certain architectures.
      readdir.2
        readdir(2) doesn't exist on x86-64
      semop.2
        Clarify the discussion of 'semadj'
      shmctl.2
        Refer to proc(5) for description of /proc/sys/kernel/shm_rmid_forced
      syscall.2
        Add notes that caution users when passing arguments to syscall()
            For example, passing 'long long' on ARM-32 requires special
            treatment.
        Document the exact calling convention for architecture system calls
        Add PA-RISC details under calling conventions
        Refine discussion of ARM and other ABIs
      syscalls.2
        Update kernel version number at start of list
      umask.2
        SEE ALSO: add acl(5)
      unshare.2
        Update feature test macro requirements
            The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14
            See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749
      fopencookie.3
        Correct definition of cookie_io_functions_t
      pthread_setname_np.3
        The thread argument is passed in by value
      readir.3
      seekdir.3
      telldir.3
        Eliminate the implication that these functions deal with "offsets"
            The directory position dealt with by the readdir() and
            friends is not a simple file offset in modern file systems.
            Typically, it is some kind of cookie value. Add text and
            make other changes to these pages to eliminate the
            implication that this is an offset, and warn the reader
            that directory positions should be treated strictly as
            opaque values.
            In the process, rename the 'offset' argument of seekdir(3)
            to 'loc', and add some text to readdir(3) to note that
            the 'd_off' field is the same value returned by telldir(3)
            at the current directory position.
            See also https://lwn.net/Articles/544298/
      scalb.3
        Fix prototypes for scalbf() and scalbl()
      sched_getcpu.3
        Update feature test macro requirements
            The requirements quietly changed changed in glibc 2.14
            See also http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4749
      ualarm.3
        Add note on the behavior when 'usecs' is zero
            POSIX.1-2001 does not specify the behavior in this case
            and no other system that I checked documented the behavior.
            Probably, most or all systems do what Linux does in this
            case: cancel any pending alarm, just as alarm(0) does.
            Add that info in NOTES.
      elf.5
        Add byte positions for all EI_xxx fields
            When describing e_ident, most of the EI_xxx defines mention the
            exact byte number.  This is useful when manually hacking an ELF
            with a hex editor.  However, the last few fields don't do this,
            which means you have to count things up yourself.
            Add a single word to each so you don't have to do that.
      proc.5
        Refer to sched_rr_get_interval(2) for info on sched_rr_timeslice_ms
            Since Linux 3.9, /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms can
            be used to change the SCHED_RR quantum.
        SEE ALSO: Add sysctl(8)
        Simplify the example of printing out environ
            The binutils package contains a very handy utility to
            print out null-byte delimited strings from a file.  This
            can replace a rather complex expression with cat(1)
            provided as an example for printing out /proc/[pid]/environ.
        Update /proc/PID/maps example
            Update to 64-bit example that includes "[heap]", "[stack],
            and "[vdso]"
        Formatting fixes for /proc/PID/maps
        Document the "pathname" field of /proc/PID/maps
        Add reference to capabilities(7) for /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap
        /proc/PID/maps: add a reference to mmap(2)
      ip.7
        Document IP_MULTICAST_ALL
            This commit adds documentation for the IP_MULTICAST_ALL socket
            option.
            The option was added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.31:
                Author Nivedita Singhvi <niv@us.ibm.com>
                Commit f771bef98004d9d141b085d987a77d06669d4f4f
            The description is based on a previous one [3] posted by the
            original author of the code -- Nivedita, but it is slightly
            re-worded.
            I tested it myself and it works as described.

      units.7
        units should use an actual µ
            The units(7) man page uses an ASCII u in place of the actual Greek
            letter mu.  Since we're in the twenty-first century, with
            UTF-8-compatible terminals and terminal emulators, we should use
            the actual letter µ instead of an ASCII approximation.

      random.4
        Document write and document the ioctl interface of /dev/random
            The update consists out of two parts:
             - a minor thing which just documents what happens if a write to
               /dev/(u)random is performed, which is used in the example
               script but not explicitly mentioned.
             - the other (biggest) part is the documentation of the ioctl()
               interface which /dev/(u)random exposes. This ioctl() lives in
               drivers/char/random.c and the primitives can be found in
               include/linux/random.h
            One comment remains, there used to be an RNDGETPOOL ioctl() which
            disappeared in v2.6.9. I found two patches on the net:
            - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm4/broken-out/dev-random-remove-rndgetpool-ioctl.patch
            - https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/3/25/168
            But as far as I can tell the first one got applied but the 2nd
            one seems more correct. The result is that even today one can
            still find traces of the RNDGETPOOL ioctl() in the header files.
            Is this there for historical reasons or because it might break
            userspace, even though using it will just give an EINVAL.

            These don't exist, and it appears they never have.
        Fix argument types for PFM_WRITE_PMCS, PFM_WRITE_PMDS, PFM_READ_PMDS
            The types that were being used don't exist!
        Briefly document PFM_GET_FEATURES, PFM_DEBUG, PFM_GET_PMC_RESET_VAL

      isastream.2
      putmsg.2
        New link to unimplemented.2

  * Global changes
  * Many pages
        Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SH headings
  * Many pages
        Global fix: remove unneeded double quotes in .SS headings
  * Many pages
        Global fix: use consistent capitalization in .SS headings
            Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
            within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
            Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
            except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
            language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.
  * Many pages
        Remove double blank lines in output
  * Various pages
        Fix order of SH sections
  * Changes to individual pages
      accept.2
        NAME: Add "accept4"
      access.2
        Note that access() may also fail for FUSE
            Since in some cases (e.g. libguestfs's guestmount) it also has the
            semantics where files can appear owned by root, but are actually
            mutable by the user, despite what one might infer from the Unix
            permissions.
      getpeername.2
        Clarify semantics of getpeername() for datagram sockets
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674034
      getuid.2
        Remove duplicate section heading
      mmap.2
        Add note about partial page in BUGS section
            This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end
            of the object. The problem here is that a page that contains only
            part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE)
            stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file
            is closed. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings
            will see the changes rather than zeroes.
        Some 'flags' values require a feature test macro to be defined
            Add text to NOTES noting that some MAP_* constants are
            defined only if a suitable feature test macro is defined.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542601
        Document EOVERFLOW error
      open.2
        Clarify list of file creation flags
            POSIX.1-2008 TC1 clarified this, so that O_CLOEXEC,
            O_DIRECTORY, and O_NOFOLLOW are also in this list.
      prctl.2
        Add some details for PR_GET_TID_ADDRESS
      read.2
        Clarify interaction of count==0 and error checking
            POSIX deliberately leaves this case open, so the man
            page should be less specific about what happens.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533232
        Remove crufty text about O_NONBLOCK on files
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700529
        Clarify details for seekable files
      unimplemented.2
        Add various STREAMS interfaces to NAME
            Taken from Red Hat downstream.
            See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436407
      cexp2.3
        Still does not exist in glibc 2.17
      exit.3
        Note that a call to execve() clears exit handler registrations
      getaddrinfo.3
        SEE ALSO: Add gai.conf(5)
      malloc_trim.3
        Remove duplicate section title
      printf.3
        Fix error handling in example code
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23282
      pthread_yield.3
        Add _GNU_SOURCE feature test macro to SYNOPSIS
      resolver.3
      resolv.conf.5
        RES_DEBUG is only available if glibc is compiled with debug support
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692136
            and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43061
      strtol.3
        Remove crufty text from previous fix
      core.5
        Document CONFIG_COREDUMP
      capabilities.7
        Nonexistent bits are no longer shown as set in /proc/PID/status Cap*
      inotify.7
        A monitoring process can't easily distinguish events triggered by itself
      ip.7
        Improve explanation about calling listen() or connect()
      man-pages.7
        Describe rules for capitalization in .SS headings
      rtnetlink.7
        Add info about ability to create links with given index
            Since kernel v3.7 the RTM_NEWLINK message now accepts nonzero
            values in ifi_index field. Mention this fact in the respective
            rtnetlink.7 section.
      socket.7
        SO_BINDTODEVICE is now readable
            SO_BINDTODEVICE is readable since since kernel 3.8.

            This patch adds documentation of several source-specific multicast
            socket options that were added to kernel with implementation
            of IGMPv3 in 2.5.68.
            The following socket options were added:
              IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP
              IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP
              IP_BLOCK_SOURCE

        Move from Section 2
      sln.8
        New page documenting the 'sln' command provided by glibc

      posix_fallocate.3
        SEE ALSO: add fallocate(1)
      regex.3
        Clarify details of matching
            The first is that it's far from clear that the end points of the
            complete string match are stored in the zero'th element of the
            regmatch_t array; secondly, the phrase "next largest substring
            match" is positively misleading, implying some sort of size
            ordering, whereas in fact they are ordered according to their
            appearance in the regex pattern.
      scanf.3
        Clarify meaning of "string conversions" for 'm' modifier
        Update %a vs %m documentation
            POSIX.1-2008 adopted the 'm' flag for dynamic allocation. Update
            page to cover it and relegate the glibc-specific 'a' flag to
            NOTES.
      strtol.3

            See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652870

            s/_SC_PAGE_SIZE/_SC_PAGESIZE/ in one instance.
            From Red Hat downstream patch.
      nscd.conf.5
        Add max-db-size and auto-propagate descriptions, default values, + misc
             * added missing valid services (services and netgroup)
             * added many default values for options
             * reordered options according to the nscd.conf file
               (logical order)

      setxattr.2
        Note that ENOATTR is a synonym for ENODATA
            Various people have pointed out that strace(1) shows ENODATA
            for the case where the named attribute does not exist, or
            the process has no access to this attribute. ENODATA
            and ENOATTR are in fact defined as synonyms. Point this out
            in the man page, so that people understand the strace(1) info.
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51871

        Document EDQUOT error
            The return error EDQUOT is not documented in open(2), write(2),
            symlink(2) etc.
            Whether inodes or disk blocks are required for each function
            is something I based on received wisdom and BSD documentation,
            rather than tracing the code to the kernel. For symlink(2)
            this certainly depends on the file system type.
      listxattr.2
        Fix RETURN VALUE description
            On success, 0 may be returned, so change wording from
            "positive number" to "nonnegative number".
      outb.2
        Add SYNOPSIS
      prctl.2
        Document PR_SET_PTRACER

            PR_SET_PTRACER.
        Make it explicit that PR_SET_PTRACER replaces previous setting
            The attribute is a scalar, not a list.

            Yes, the call is way obsolete, but add this info
            for completeness.
      recvmmsg.2
        Add/correct kernel version info for recvmmsg() and MSG_WAITFORNONE
            This patch isolates the since/version related fixes as requested.
            This change introduces the following delta:
             * The page states it was added in 2.6.32 but it is only added
                2.6.33 (ref: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_33)
             * The MSG_WAITFORONE flag was in turn only added in 2.6.34

      proc.5
        statm's "shared" field refers to pages backed by files
            I noticed that statm's "shared" field doesn't match the sum of
            all the "shared" entries in smaps [1].
            The kernel docs explain that statm's "shared" field is "number of
            pages that are shared (i.e. backed by a file)" [2].  smaps appears
            to call a page shared if it's mapped by at least two processes,
            which explains this discrepancy.
            I'm not a kernel hacker, but it appears to me they do mean "i.e."
            and not "e.g." in the statm description: In
            fs/proc/task_mmu.c::task_statm, I see
                *shared = get_mm_counter(mm, MM_FILEPAGES);
            Here's a patch which updates the man page to match the (hopefully
            correct) kernel docs.

      clone.2
        Since 2.6.30, CLONE_NEWIPC also supports POSIX message queues
      delete_module.2
        Small rewording of description of effect of O_TRUNC
      getrlimit.2
        Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit
            Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
            has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
            the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
            limit is encountered.  No other implementation that I tested
            (Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
            unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
            RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
        Point reader at discussion of /proc/[pid]/limits in proc(5)
      io_getevents.2
        io_getevents() may cause segfault when called with invalid ctx_id
            For reference see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-aio&m=130089887002435&w=2

      stat.2
        Clarify description of EOVERFLOW error
            The EOVERFLOW error is not only for st_size, but also
            inode and block size fields. See glibc source file
            sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/xstatconv.c and kernel source
            file fs/stat.c. Also, fix bit/byte confusion
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604928

            more readable.
        Add kernel symbolic 'type' names
        Clarify SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD semantics
            SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_UNREAD returns the number of bytes
            available for reading via SYSLOG_ACTION_READ.
        Clarify where SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL places data it reads
        Clarify semantics of SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR
            The SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR command (5) does not really clear
            the ring buffer; rather it affects the semantics of what
            is returned by commands 3 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL) and
            4 (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_CLEAR).
        Clarify discussion of privileges for commands 3 and 10
        Add mention of CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT
      wait.2

      mkstemp.3
        Deemphasize discussion of mode 066 in glibc 2.0.6
            Glibc 2.0.6 is now so ld that the discussion of details
            of that version can be deemphasized placing just under
            NOTES.
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51811
      strcmp.3

      ttyname.3
        Fix confused text in ERRORS
            The existing text suggested that the ERRORS applied
            only for ttyname_r(). However, 2 of the 3 errors
            can occur for ttyname().
      undocumented.3
        Remove some now documented functions

      ipv6.7
        Add description of getsockopt() for IPV6_MTU
            In IPv4,IP_MTU is only supported by getsockopt.
            In IPv6, we can use IPV6_MTU to set socket's MTU,
            but the return value of getsockopt() is the path MTU.

  * New and rewritten pages
      delete_module.2
        Rewrite to Linux 2.6+ reality
        Change license and copyright
            There is now nothing left of the original FSF-copyrighted
            page. So, change the copyright and license.
        Substantial reorganization after comments from Rusty Russell
            Rusty notes that O_NONBLOCK is almost always used in
            practice. Therefore, it would be better to reorganize
            the page to consider that "the default".
      init_module.2
        Rewrite to Linux 2.6+ reality
        Change copyright and license
            Little of the original page now remains. Change
            copyright and license
        Changes after review comments from Rusty Russell
        Add various pieces describing Linux 2.6+ behavior
            Pieces take from, or inspired by, a patch sent by Kees.
      getauxval.3
        Document getauxval() function added in glibc 2.16
  * Global changes
  * Various pages
        Global fix: Use consistent capitalization in NAME section
            The line(s) in the NAME section should only use capitals
            where English usage dictates that. Otherwise, use
            lowercase throughout.
  * Various pages
        Global fix: "userspace" ==> "user space" or "user-space"
            Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
            But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
            So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
            attributively, "user-space".
  * Changes to individual pages
      clock_getres.2
      clock_nanosleep.2

            See http://bugs.debian.org/295635
      get_kernel_syms.2
        Note that this system call is present only in kernels before 2.6

      prctl.2
        Mention Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt for PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS
        update seccomp sections for mode 2 (BPF)
            This adds a short summary of the arguments used
            for "mode 2" (BPF) seccomp.
        Small improvements to PR_SET_SECCOMP discussion
            Note type of 'arg3' for SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER.
            Add pointer to Documentation/prctl/seccomp_filter.txt.
        Note 'seccomp' semantics with respect to fork(), execve(), and prctl()
        Document PR_SET_TIMERSLACK and PR_GET_TIMERSLACK
        Reword PR_SET_NAME and PR_GET_NAME in terms of threads
            Plus tfix
        document PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS
            This adds a short description of the no_new_privs bit,
            as described in Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt.
      ptrace.2
        Clarify that some operations are not present on all architectures
            PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETGREFS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS,
            and PTRACE_GETSPREGS are not present on all architectures.
            PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP are present only
            on x86.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=122383
      query_module.2
        Add a few words clarifying reference to /sys/module
        Note that this system call is present only in kernels before 2.6
        Note that ENOSYS probably indicates kernel 2.6+

            Info mostly taken from Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
            and Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt.
        Default for /proc/sys/fs/protected_{hardlinks,symlinks} is now 0
            The default setting of 1 in/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
            and /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks caused one too many
            breakages for Linus's taste, so commit 561ec64ae67e changed
            the default for both files to 0.
        Note system call error yielded by /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
            Note that violating 'protected_symlinks' restrictions
            causes system calls to fail with the error EACCES.

      epoll_wait.2
        Describe timeout limitation in kernels < 2.6.37
            As reported by Fredrik (and as far as I can tell the problem
            went back to 2.6.0):
            The timeout argument has an upper limit. Any values above that
            limit are treated the same as -1, i.e. to wait indefinitely.
            The limit is given by:
                #define EP_MAX_MSTIMEO min(1000ULL * MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT / HZ, \
                (LONG_MAX - 999ULL) / HZ)
            That is, the limit depends on the size of a long and the timer
            frequency.  Assuming the a long is never smaller than 32 bits
            and HZ never larger than 1000, the worst case is 35 minutes.
            I think this should be mentioned under "BUGS".
            Although this is likely to be fixed in the future
            (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/8/144), the problem exists in
            at least 2.6.14 - 2.6.35. I don't know if select(2) and poll(2)
            are affected.
            https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20762

      poll.2

      select.2
        Note behavior if monitored file descriptor is closed in another thread
            Executive summary: a sane application can't rely on any
            particular behavior if another thread closes a file descriptor
            being monitored by select().

            Give reader a clue about CLONE_SYSVSEM.
      shutdown.2
        Document EINVAL error (and associated bug)
            Eric Dumazet noted that EINVAL was not documented. Some further

        CONFORMING TO: Note SUS details for wait3()
      gnu_get_libc_version.3
        Remove unneeded "#define _GNU_SOURCE" from SYNOPSIS
      pthread_kill.3, pthread_sigqueue.3
        Remove wording "another"
            Writing "another thread" in these pages implies that these
            functions can't be used to send a signal to the calling thread
            itself, which is of course untrue.
      sigvec.3
        Add "int" arg to sv_handler definition in sigvec structure
        Fix small error in discussion of blocking of signals
            The signal that causes the handler to be invoked is blocked,
            but saying "by default" implies that this can be changed via
            the API. It cannot. (One needs sigaction(2) for that.)
      syslog.3
        Remove (apparently bogus) text claiming LOG_AUTH is deprecated
            LOG_AUTH is in POSIX, and widely available. There
            seems to be no basis to the claim it is deprecated.
            Quoting Simon:
                I cannot find any other source that claim LOG_AUTH is
                deprecated in any way.  LOG_AUTH is distinct from
                LOG_AUTHPRIV.  The GNU C Library manual only documents
                LOG_AUTH.  The header files contains both without any
                comment.  Common systems like Debian appear to refer to
                both auth and authpriv facilities in syslog configurations.
                Popular daemons appear to use both facilities.
                Both facilities are discussed in several RFCs.

            This point is already noted when discussing search order for
            libraries, but it's worth repeating under the specific discussion
            of LD_LIBRARY_PATH further down the page.

- update to version 3.42
  * Global changes
  * Various pages
        Global fix: use UR macro where applicable
            The syntax .UR http://example.com paired with .UE will create
            links which one can interact, if the pager allows that.  One
            way to see the effect is ask the man(1) command to use browser
            display, e.g.:
                man -H man7/uri.7
            ("\:" is optional groff syntax to permit hyphenless line breaks.)
  * Changes to individual pages
      ldd.1
        Add security note on untrusted executables
            See also http://www.catonmat.net/blog/ldd-arbitrary-code-execution/
            and
            http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
      clone.2
        Rewrite discussion of sys_clone
      futex.2
        Consolidate error descriptions to ERRORS
        Various wording fix-ups
        Fix description of EINVAL error
            The current text seems incorrect. Replace with a more general
            description.
      getdents.2
      select_tut.2
      atof.3
      atoi.3

      sysctl.2
      tkill.2
        Add note to SYNOPSIS that there is no glibc wrapper for system call
            Reduce the chance that the reader may be misled into thinking
            that there is a wrapper function for this system call by noting
            explicitly in the SYNOPSIS that there is no glibc wrapper and
            pointing the reader to NOTES for further details.
      ioprio_set.2
        Clarify the multithreaded behavior of ioprio_set(2)
        Document who==0 for IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS and IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP
            For IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS, who==0 means operate on the caller.
            For IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP, who==0 means operate on the caller's
            process group.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652443
      migrate_pages.2
        Fix description of return value
      mount.2
        For MS_REMOUNT, source is ignored
      mprotect.2
        'addr' argument is not const
            As reported by Rasmus:
                Both my system's man-pages (3.22) and the latest online
                (3.41) show:
                    int mprotect(const void *addr, size_t len, int prot);
                as the prototype for mprotect(2). However, POSIX [1] and the
                actual sys/mman.h (on all the systems I checked) do not have
                the const qualifier on the first argument.
      msgctl.2
      semctl.2
      shmctl.2
      svipc.7
        Don't mention that ipc_perm is defined in <sys/ipc.h>
            There's no need to mention that the 'ipc_perm' structure
            is defined in <sys/ipc.h>. That's an implementation detail,
            and furthermore <sys/ipc.h> is itself included by the other
            System V IPC header files. The current text might lead the
            reader to conclude that they must include <sys/ipc.h>, which
            is not the case (it is required neither on Linux, nor by the
            standards).
      msgctl.2
      msgget.2
      msgop.2
      semctl.2
      semget.2
      semop.2
      shmctl.2
      shmget.2
        NOTES: <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> aren't strictly needed
            Add text to NOTES to say that the <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h>
            header files aren't required by Linux or the standards, but may
            be needed for portability to old systems.
      ptrace.2
        Explain WNOHANG behavior and EINTR bug
            I didn't like ithe "SIGKILL operates similarly, with exceptions"
            phrase (if it's different, then it's not "similar", right?),
            and now I got around to changing it. Now it says simply:
            "SIGKILL does not generate signal-delivery-stop and therefore
            the tracer can't suppress it."
            Replaced "why WNOHANG is not reliable" example with a more
            realistic one (the one which actually inspired to add this
            information to man page in the first place): we got
            ESRCH - process is gone! - but waitpid(WNOHANG) can still
            confusingly return 0 "no processes to wait for".
            Replaced "This means that unneeded trailing arguments may
            be omitted" part with a much better recommendation
            to never do that and to supply zero arguments instead.
            (The part about "undocumentedness" of gcc behavior was bogus,
            btw - deleted).
            Expanded BUGS section with the explanation and an example
            of visible strace behavior on the buggy syscalls which
            exit with EINTR on ptrace attach. I hope this will lead
            to people submitting better bug reports to lkml about
            such syscalls.
      seteuid.2
        Note glibc version where setegid() implementation changed
            In glibc 2.2/2.3, setegid() switched from setregid() to setresgid().
      set_tid_address.2
        Rename 'ctid' argument for consistency with clone(2) page
        Some rewordings and minor clarifications
      sigwaitinfo.2
        Some wording clarifications
            Mainly rewording things like "is delivered" to "becomes pending",
            which is more accurate terminology.
      syscall.2
        Add some more details to the description of syscall(2)
            And add another example of using syscall() to the program example.
      syscalls.2
        Add kcmp(2)
        Move discussion of set_zone_reclaim(2) out of main table
            This system call was never visible to user space, so it makes
            sense to move it out of the main table of system calls into
            the notes below the table.
      getifaddrs.3
        Note that ifa_addr and ifa_netmask can be NULL
      readdir.3
        Handle -1 error from pathconf() in example code snippet
            Improve the example demonstrating allocation of a buffer
            for readdir_r() to handle -1 error return from pathconf().
            Otherwise, naive readers may think that pathconf() return
            value can be used without checking.
      realpath.3
        Use past tense with ancient history (libc4, libc5)
      regex.3
        Correct SEE ALSO reference to glibc manual "regex" section
      rtime.3
        Fix broken pointer cast in example code
      sem_close.3
      sem_destroy.3
      sem_getvalue.3
      sem_init.3
      sem_open.3
      sem_post.3
      sem_unlink.3
      sem_wait.3
      sem_overview.7
        Note that "cc -pthread" is required; "-lrt" no longer works
            See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/874418
      sigwait.3
        Reword "is delivered" to "becomes pending"
      strcat.3
        Add some text to emphasize the dangers of buffer overruns
        NOTES: Add discussion of strlcat()
      strcpy.3
        Note that info is lost when strncpy() doesn't null terminate
        Add some text to emphasize possibility of buffer runs with strcpy()
        NOTES: Add a discussion of strlcpy()
            Inspired by https://lwn.net/Articles/506530/
        Fix description of the null-byte padding performed by strncpy()
      tsearch.3
        NOTES: remove redundant discussion of unorthodox use of term "postorder"
            This point is already covered at greater length in the main
            text of the page (See the piece "More commonly, ...").
        Clarify use for first argument to the twalk() 'action' function
            There's a number of details in POSIX that are omitted in
            the current version of this page.
        Some wording fixes
      core.5
        Note effect of madvise(2) MADV_DONTDUMP flag
      capabilities.7
        Document CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND
      glob.7
        Change 8 bit characters to 7 bit representation
            Fixes rendering errors for accented 'a' characters.
        Update bash(1) command used to obtain classical globbing behavior
            The man page formerly noted the bash(1) v1 command to do this.
      iso_8859-1.7
        Explanation of SOFT HYPHEN and the code for it
            <groff: iso_8859-2.7>:89: warning: can't find special character `shc'
            This is the only "iso_8859-*.7" file that has this (now)
            undefined character.  The code in column four in "iso_8859-1.7" is
            "0x2D" ("HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN" or "HYPHEN-MINUS") instead of "0xAD".
            See Debian bug 156154 (or package "manpages").
            There should be an explanation for this graphic character and the
            code should be 0xAD in iso_8859-1.7 (as in all others), even
            though "[gn]roff" does not display a "HYPHEN" in that position of
            the table.
            The line with "SOFT HYPHEN" gets a footnote and a short
            explanation.
      mdoc.7
        Fixing a warning and a table
            Fis warning from "groff -ww ..." (or "man --warnings=w ..."):
                <groff: mdoc.7>:294: warning:
                tab character in unquoted macro argument
            In one table the distance between columns is too small in the
            "ps" output.  (Bug in the groff "doc.tmac" macro?)
      mdoc.samples.7
        Fix warnings from [ng]roff, corrections
            From "man -ww ..." (groff -ww ...):
                <standard input>:541: warning:
                tab character in unquoted macro argument
                [+3 similar warnings]
                <standard input>:813: warning: macro `Pu' not defined
                Usage: .Rv -std in sections 2 and 3 only (#1669)
                mdoc warning: A .Bl directive has no matching .El (#1821)
            String "Pu" defined as a row of punctuation characters.
            ".Bl" and ".El" fixed.
            Some arguments, that start with a period or are the name of a
            macro, protected with "\&".
            Variable name for macro ".Rv" corrected.
      netdevice.7
        Line in table too long
            Fix warning from "man ..." ("nroff -ww ..."):
                nroff: netdevice.7: warning: around line 98:
                table wider than line width
            Fix: No right adjustment in text blocks in tables.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673873
      netlink.7
        Line in table is too long
            Fix warning from "man ..." ("nroff -ww ..."):
                nroff: netlink.7: warning: around line 195:
                table wider than line width
            Horizontal line incorporated into table.
            No right adjustment of text blocks in tables.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673875
        Change description of "*_pid" fields to "Port ID"
            As reported by Herbert Xu, these should not be considered as PIDs.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383296
      rtnetlink.7
        Line in table too long
            Fix warning from "man ..." ("nroff -ww ..."):
                nroff: rtnetlink.7: warning: around line 415:
                table wider than line width
            Column gutter reduced to fit line length.
            Right adjustment in text blocks removed in tables.
            Some header made centered in tables.
            One table put on same page.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674051
      socket.7
        Document SO_MARK socket option
            Commit 4a19ec5800fc3bb64e2d87c4d9fdd9e636086fe0 in Jan 2008 added
            the new SO_MARK socket option.
            This patch is based on text from the commit message.
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16461.
      svipc.7
        SYNOPSIS: Remove include of <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h>
            Including <sys/types.h> and <sys/ipc.h> isn't needed on Linux
            and isn't really relevant for the explanation on this page.

            functions operate on bytes, not wide / UTF8 characters.
            (POSIX uses 'byte(s)' similarly, to make this point.)

        Remove names of constants from NAME line
            Some of the sockets/network protocol pages included names of
            the corresponding address family constants in the NAME line,
            but this wasn't done consistently across all pages, and probably
            it adds little value in those pages that did do this. So, remove
            these constants from those pages that have them in the NAME
            section.

            dbopen(3) man page.
      fmemopen.3
        Note details of POSIX.1-2008 specification of 'b' in 'mode'
        BUGS: fmemopen() doesn't correctly set file position in some cases
            If 'mode' is append, but 'size' does not cover a null byte
            in 'buf', then fmemopen() incorrectly sets the initial file
            position to -1, rather than the next byte after the end of
            the buffer.
            See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13151
        BUGS: fmemopen() incorrectly handles size==0 case
            If size is zero, fmemopen() fails, This is surprising behavior,
            and not specified in POSIX.1-2008.
            See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11216
            Reported-by; Alex Shinn <alexshinn@gmail.com>
        BUGS: Note silent ABI change for fmemopen() in glibc 2.9
        BUGS: Append mode does not force writes to append
            Append mode correctly sets the initial offset but does
            not force subsequent writes to append at end of stream.
            See http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13152
        BUGS: Note inconsistent treatment of 'b' in 'mode'
            fopen() permits, for example, both "w+b" and "wb+",
            but only the latter is meaningful to fmemopen().

                warning: around line 53: table wider than line width
            Extra indent for "troff" makes the table look misplaced
            (default "ps" output).

        Clarify that SIGLOST is unused
        Comment out crufty BUGS text on SIGLOST
            It must be a very long time since the statement there
            about SIGLOST was true. (The text seems to date back to
            1996.)
        Update architectures for tables of signal numbers
      utf-8.7
        Two clarifications
            This patch clarifies that 0xc0 and 0xc1 are not valid in any UTF-8
            encoding[0], and it also references RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279.
            [0] In order to have 0xc0, you'd have to have a two-byte encoding
            with all the data bits zero in the first byte (and thus only six
            bits of data), which would be an ASCII character encoded in the
            non-shortest form.  Similarly with 0xc1.

      ldconfig.8
      nscd.8

      clock_getres.2
        Clarify difference between CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
            Note interactions of these two clocks with discontinuous
            adjustments to the system time and NTP/adjtime(2).
      fallocate.2

      fchmodat.2
        Improve discussion of difference between wrapper and underlying syscall
      gettimeofday.2
        gettimeofday() is affected by discontinuous jumps in the system time
            Advise reader to use clock_gettime(2), if they need a
            monotonically increasing time source.
        SEE ALSO: Add clock_gettime(2)
      prctl.2
        Add PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_DISABLE and PR_TASK_PERF_EVENTS_ENABLE
            Add some basic documentation of these operations, with a pointer to
            tools/perf/design.txt for more information.
        Amend details of PR_SET_PDEATHSIG
      ptrace.2
        Note SPARC deviation with respect to get/set regs
            SPARC reverses the use of 'addr' and 'data' for
            PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS,
            and PTRACE_SETFPREGS.
      send.2
        Document EACCES error case for UDP
      sigaction.2
        Remove mention of raise(3) for SI_USER
            For a long time now, glibc's raise(3) didn't yield SI_USER
            for the signal receiver, so remove mention of raise(3)
            here. The user can deduce the details, if needed, by looking
            at the recently updated raise(3) page.
      aio_cancel.3

      btree.3
      dbopen.3
      hash.3
      mpool.3
      recno.3
        Note that glibc no longer provides these interfaces
            glibc stopped providing these interfaces with v2.2.
            Nowadays, the user that finds these pages probably wants
            the libdb API, so note this in the page.
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=337581
      fopen.3
        BUGS: Note limitation on number of flag characters parsed in 'mode'
        Note that 'c' and 'e' flags are ignored for fdopen()
            Determined from reading libio/iofdopen.c.
        Document ",ccs=string" feature of 'mode' for fopen()/freopen()
      getgrnam.3
        Fix discussion of _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX
            The value is not meant to be a maximum (as was specified in
            SUSv3) but an initial guess at the required size
            (as specified in SUSv4).
      getpwnam.3
        Fix discussion of _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
            The value is not meant to be a maximum (as was specified in
            SUSv3) but an initial guess at the required size
            (as specified in SUSv4).
      malloc.3
      mallopt.3
      mtrace.3
        SEE ALSO: add mcheck(3)
      memchr.3
        Clarify description, omitting mention of "strings" and "characters"
            The existing text slipped into talking about characters and
            strings, which could mislead readers into thing that, for
            example, searches for the byte '\0' are treated specially.
            Therefore, rewrite in terms of "bytes" and "memory areas".
            At the same time, make a few source file clean-ups.
      mkstemp.3
        Add "mkstemps" and "mkostemps" to NAME line
      posix_openpt.3
        Add some details on use of the slave pathname
            An explicit pointer to ptsname(3) is useful, as is a note
            of the fact that the slave device pathname exists only as
            long as the master device is held open.
      raise.3
        Add some notes on underlying system call that is used
      rcmd.3
        Add some details of the rresvport() 'port' argument
      resolver.3
        Note that many options are documented in resolv.conf(5)
      scandir.3
        Improve EXAMPLE source code: s/0/NULL/ in scandir() call
      strchr.3
        Explain behavior when searching for '\0'
      strerror.3
        Improve strerror_r() description
            POSIX requires that perror() not modify the static storage
            returned by strerror().  POSIX 2008 and C99 both require that
            strerror() never return NULL (a strerror() that always
            returns "" for all inputs is valid for C99, but not for POSIX).
            http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12204
            documents glibc's change to come into compliance with POSIX
            regarding strerror_r() return value.  The GNU strerror_r() use
            of 'buf' was confusing - I ended up writing a test program that
            proves that 'buf' is unused for valid 'errnum', but contains
            truncated "unknown message" for out-of-range 'errnum'.
            See also http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=382
        Correct description of error return for XSI strerror_r()
        Note how to use 'errno' to detect errors when calling strerror()

      resolv.conf.5
        Document "single-request" option
      inotify.7
        Note buffer size that guarantees being able to read at least one event
        Correct description of size of inotify_event structure
      iso_8859-1.7
        Add "-" for SOFT HYPHEN
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=156154
      netdevice.7
        Document some SIOC configuration ioctls
            This patch adds common but missing SIOC configuration ioctls to
            the netdevice.7 manual pages that are not documented anywhere
            else. SIOCSIFPFLAGS and SIOCGIFPFLAGS are linux-specific. Flag
            values come from Linux 2.6.25 kernel headers for sockios. The
            others are standard BSD ioctls that have always been implemented
            by Linux and were verified from inspecting netdevice.c kernel
            code.

Tue Apr 24 08:44:57 CEST 2012 - pgajdos@suse.cz

- update to version 3.39
  * New and rewritten pages
      malloc_trim.3
        New man page for malloc_trim(3)
      malloc_usable_size.3
        New man page for malloc_usable_size(3)
  * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
      prctl.2
        Document PR_SET_MM (new in Linux 3.3)
        Various edits and improvements to Cyrill's patch
  * Changes to individual pages
      epoll_create.2
        Rework discussion of 'size' argument
        Add .SS for description of epoll_create1()
      epoll_wait.2
        Another thread can add to epoll instance while epoll_wait is blocked
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43072
        Clarify that epoll_pwait() blocks calling *thread*
        A few wording improvements
      fchmodat.2
        Note difference between glibc wrapper and underlying system call
            The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently
            serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not.
      fcntl.2
        Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break
        Change type of arg from "long" to "int"
            Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
            The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
            However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
            explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".
            Update the man page to reflect. Probably, all of the
            other "long" cases (not specified in POSIX) should
            be "int", and this patch makes them so. Based on a
            note fromEric Blake, relating to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.
      gettimeofday.2
        Reorganize content
            The main change is to move the historical information about
            the 'tz_dsttime' to NOTES.
        Note that compiler issues warnings if 'tv' is NULL
      mmap.2
        Clarify that this system call should not be invoked directly
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42892
        Clarify NOTES discussion of mmap() versus mmap2()
      poll.2
        Document negative value in 'fd' field
        Document semantics of passing zero in 'events' field
      ptrace.2
        Various fixes
            For some reason, the PTRACE_TRACEME paragraph talks about some
            general aspects of ptraced process behavior. It repeats the
            "tracee stops on every signal" information even though that was
            already explained just a few paragraphs before. Then it describes
            legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
            This patch deletes the first part, and moves the second part up,
            into the general ptrace description. It also adds
            "If PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC option is not in effect" to the description
            of the legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
            The patch also amends the part which says "For requests other
            than PTRACE_KILL, the tracee must be stopped." - PTRACE_ATTACH
            also doesn't require that.
      sigaction.2
        Clarify that the use of SI_SIGIO is for Linux 2.2 only
            See also http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6745
      sigprocmask.2
        ERRORS: add EFAULT
      times.2
        ERRORS: Add EFAULT
      div.3
        CONFORMING TO: Add C99

        Clarify further that return value is number of items, not bytes
            See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665780
      getaddrinfo.3
        Correct type of ai_addrlen field
      malloc.3
        SEE ALSO: add malloc_usable_size(3)
        SEE ALSO: Add malloc_trim(3)
      mallopt.3
        Fix text describing M_PERTURB and free()
        SEE ALSO: Add malloc_trim(3)
      memchr.3
        Remove mention of terminating null in description of rawmemchr()
      perror.3
        Note that use of 'sys_errlist' is deprecated
      rcmd.3
        glibc eventually added a declaration of iruserok() in version 2.12
      sysconf.3
        Add mention of _SC_SYMLOOP_MAX
      nologin.5
        nologin must not only exist, but *be readable* to be effective
      nsswitch.conf.5
        Significant rewrites and improvements
            This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36.
            My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the
            man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar,
            reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc.
            I have checked the man page against the nss source code in
            glibc 2.14.90.
            Historical notes are demoted to the footer.
            The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to
            understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.
        Light edits to Mark Bannister's changes

      nfsservctl.2
        Note that this system call was removed in Linux 3.1
      ptrace.2
        add extended description of various ptrace quirks
            Changes include:
            s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
            is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
            as parent.
            Deleted several outright false statements:
            - pid 1 can be traced
            - tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
            - PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
              a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
            - SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
            - Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
            - Added a few more known bugs.
            Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
            on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
            tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
            a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not
            spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its
            quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by
            Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo.
            This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible,
            otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make.
        Global clean-up of page

      fallocate.2
        Document FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
            FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE was added in Linux 2.6.38,
            for punching holes in the allocated space in a file.
  * Changes to individual pages
      dup.2
        SYNOPSIS: Add "#include <fntl.h>" for O_* constants
      fallocate.2
        Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION
            The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
            to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
            is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
            preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.
        Add further details for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
        ERRORS: Add EPERM error case for FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE
      fork.2
        NOTES: Describe clone() call equivalent to fork()
      fsync.2
        Various improvements
            - explain the situation with disk caches better
            - remove the duplicate fdatasync() explanation in the NOTES
              section
            - remove an incorrect note about fsync() generally requiring two
              writes
            - remove an obsolete ext2 example note
            - fsync() works on any file descriptor (doesn't need to be
              writable); correct the EBADF error code explanation
        Note that some systems require a writable file descriptor
            An edited version of Guillem Jover's comments:
            [While the file descriptor does not need to be writable on Linux]
            that's not a safe portable assumption to make on POSIX in general
            as that behavior is not specified and as such is
            implementation-specific. Some Unix systems do actually fail on
            read-only file descriptors, for example [HP-UX and AIX].
      mount.2
        Removed erroneous statement about MS_RDONLY and bind mounts
      open.2
        Fix grammar in O_DIRECT description
            Some small grammar fixes to the O_DIRECT description.
      pipe.2

      vfork.2
        Clarify what is duplicated in the child
            Add some words to make it clear to the reader that vfork(),
            like fork(), creates duplicates of process attributes
            in the child.
        Note clone() flags equivalent to vfork()
        Add some notes on reasons why vfork() still exists
        Clarify that calling *thread* is suspended during vfork()

      passwd.5
        s/asterisk/asterisk (*)/ to improve clarity
        Correct note on passwd field value when shadowing is enabled

            contains an 'x' (not a "8').

        Various fixes for description of NAME section
            As noted by reporter:
            * The code sample given for the NAME section is incomplete because
              the actual content sample is not given.
            * Additionally, the description assumes that the item described is
              a command, which need not be the case.
            * The command makewhatis is not present on my system; the
              documented tool to create the whatis database is called mandb.
            * The description on .SH NAME in man(7) should either copy the
              relevant paragraph of lexgrog(1) or refer to it.

- update to version 3.34
  * New and rewritten pages
      rt_sigqueueinfo.2
        New page for rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2)
            This replaces the previous '.so' man page link file for
            rt_sigqueueinfo.2, which linked to this sigqueue() man page.
      cciss.4
        New man page for cciss driver
            I obtained the information in this man page as a consequence
            of having worked on the cciss driver for the past several years,
            and having written considerable portions of it.
        Copyedit by mtk
      hpsa.4
        New man page for the hpsa driver
            I obtained the information in this man page as a consequence
            of being the main author of the hpsa driver
        Copyedits my mtk
  * Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
      fstatat.2
        Document AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT
      lseek.2
        Document SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA
            These flags, designed for discovering holes in a file,
            were added in Linux 3.1. Included comments from Eric
            Blake and Sunil Mushran.
      madvise.2
        Add MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE
            Document the MADV_HUGEPAGE and MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flags added to
            madvise() in Linux 2.6.38.
  * New and changed links
      rt_tgsigqueueinfo.2

      sigqueue.2
        Create link to page that was relocated to section 3

        Added copyright text + changelog note for Guillem Jover's patch
      sched_setscheduler.2
        Document 2.6.39 changes to rules governing changes from SCHED_IDLE policy
            Since Linux 2.6.39, unprivileged processes under the
            SCHED_IDLE policy can switch to another nonrealtime
            policy if their nice value falls within the range
            permitted by their RLIMIT_NICE limit.
      tkill.2
        SEE ALSO: Add rt_sigqueueinfo (2)
      btowc.3, wctob.3
        Add pointers to better, thread-safe alternative functions
            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606899
      fwide.3
        Add _ISOC95_SOURCE to feature test macro requirements
            Since glibc 2.12, _ISOC95_SOURCE can also be used to expose
            prototype of this function.
      index.3
        Fix text mentioning terminating null
      pthread_sigqueue.3
        Replace explicit mention of rt_tgsigqueueinfo() with SEE ALSO reference
      sigqueue.3
        Move this page to section 3
            Now that the underlying system call rt_sigqueueinfo(2) is
            properly documented, move sigqueue() to Section 3, since
            it is really a library function.
        Update text in line with existence of new rt_sigqueueinfo.2 page
      wcsnlen.3
        Improve description of 'maxlen' argument
            It's worth clarifying 'maxlen' is in wide-char units, not bytes.
      wprintf.3
        Add _ISOC95_SOURCE to feature test macro requirements
            Since glibc 2.12, _ISOC95_SOURCE can also be used to expose
            prototype of these functions.
      feature_test_macros.7
        Document _ISOC95_SOURCE
            _ISOC95_SOURCE was added in glibc 2.12 as a means
            to expose C90 Amendment 1 definitions.
      ip.7
