Apologies if I missed anyone!
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
pidfd_open.2
Michael Kerrisk [Christian Brauner, Florian Weimer, Daniel Colascione]
New page documenting pidfd_open(2)
pidfd_send_signal.2
Michael Kerrisk [Florian Weimer, Christian Brauner]
New page documenting pidfd_send_signal(2)
pivot_root.2
Michael Kerrisk [Eric W. Biederman, Reid Priedhorsky, Philipp Wendler]
This page has been completely rewritten, adding a lot of missing
details (including the use of pivot_root(".", ".")) and an example
program. In addition, the text prevaricating on whether or not
pivot_root() might change the root and current working directories has
been eliminated, and replaced with a simple description of the behavior
of the system call, which has not changed for 19 years, and will not
change in the future. Many longstanding errors in the old version of
the page have also been corrected.
ipc_namespaces.7
Michael Kerrisk
New page with content migrated from namespaces(7)
uts_namespaces.7
Michael Kerrisk
New page with content migrated from namespaces(7)
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
clone.2
Christian Brauner, Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_PIDFD
Add an entry for CLONE_PIDFD. This flag is available starting
with kernel 5.2. If specified, a process file descriptor
("pidfd") referring to the child process will be returned in
the ptid argument.
fanotify_mark.2
Jakub Wilk
Document FAN_MOVE_SELF
ptrace.2
Dmitry V. Levin [Michael Kerrisk]
Document PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO
regex.3
Rob Landley
Document REG_STARTEND

Michael Kerrisk
Add NEW link to resolver.3

mmap.2
Nikola Forró
Fix EINVAL conditions
Since introduction of MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, in case flags contain
both MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED, mmap() doesn't fail with EINVAL,
it succeeds.
The reason for that is that MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE is in fact equal
to MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_SHARED.
mount.2
Michael Kerrisk [Reid Priedhorsky]
Describe the concept of "parent mounts"
Michael Kerrisk
NOTES: add subsection heading for /proc/[pid]/{mounts,mountinfo}
