New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
ioctl_fslabel.2
Eric Sandeen
New page documenting filesystem get/set label ioctl(2) operations
Removed pages
-------------
ioctl_list.2
Michael Kerrisk [Heinrich Schuchardt, Eugene Syromyatnikov]
This page was first added more than 20 years ago. Since
that time it has seen hardly any update, and is by now
very much out of date, as reported by Heinrich Schuchardt
and confirmed by Eugene Syromyatnikov.
As Heinrich says:
Man-pages like netdevices.7 or ioctl_fat.2 are what is
needed to help a user who does not want to read through the
kernel code.
If ioctl_list.2 has not been reasonably maintained since
Linux 1.3.27 and hence is not a reliable source of
information, shouldn't it be dropped?
My answer is, yes (but let's move a little info into ioctl(2)).
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
adjtimex.2
Arnd Bergmann [Richard Cochran, Michael Kerrisk]
Document clock_adjtime(2)
clock_getres.2
Richard Cochran [Michael Kerrisk]
Explain dynamic clocks
clone.2
Christian Brauner, Michael Kerrisk
Document the clone3() CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag
mremap.2
Brian Geffon, Michael Kerrisk [Lokesh Gidra]
Document MREMAP_DONTUNMAP
open.2
Joseph C. Sible [Michael Kerrisk]
Document fs.protected_fifos and fs.protected_regular

Dave Martin
Add PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC for SPECULATION_CTRL prctls
Dave Martin
Add PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS (arm64)
ptrace.2
Joseph C. Sible
Document PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL
proc.5
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc/sys/fs/protected_regular
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc/sys/fs/protected_fifos
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr and /proc/sys/fs/aio-nr
New and changed links
---------------------
clock_adjtime.2
Arnd Bergmann
New link to adjtimex(2)
Global changes
--------------
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Retitle EXAMPLE section heading to EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES appears to be the wider majority usage across various
projects' manual pages, and is also what is used in the POSIX
manual pages.
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Correct bogus POSIX.1 standards names
POSIX.1-2003 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC1
POSIX.1-2004 ==> POSIX.1-2001 TC2
POSIX.1-2013 ==> POSIX.1-2008 TC1
POSIX.1-2016 ==> POSIX.1-2008 TC2
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Add section number in page cross-reference.
Various pages
Kir Kolyshkin
Add missing commas in SEE ALSO
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Remove AVAILABILITY section heading
In the few pages where this heading (which is "nonstandard" within
man-pages) is used, it always immediately follows CONFORMING TO
and generally contains information related to standards. Remove
the section heading, thus incorporating AVAILABILITY into
CONFORMING TO.
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Remove section number in page self-references
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Put SEE ALSO entries in alphabetical order
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Place SH sections in standard order
Fix various pages that deviated from the norm described in
man-pages(7).
Various "aio" pages
Michael Kerrisk [Andi Kleen, Jeff Moyer]
Change uses of aio_context_t to io_context_t
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
bpf.2
Peter Wu
Update enum bpf_map_type and enum bpf_prog_type
Richard Palethorpe
Change note on unprivileged access
The kernel now allows calls to bpf() without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
under some circumstances.
clone.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add kernel version numbers for clone_args fields
Michael Kerrisk
Combine separate NOTES sections
close.2
Michael Kerrisk [Lukas Czerner, Peter Schiffer, Thierry Lelegard]
Note behavior when close() happens in a parallel thread
If one thread is blocked in an I/O system call on a file descriptor
that is closed in another thread, then the blocking system call
does not return immediately, but rather when the I/O operation
completes. This surprises some people, but is longstanding
behavior.
connect.2
Stefan Puiu
Can return EACCES because of SELinux
execve.2
Michael Kerrisk [Eric Hopper]
Changes to the "dumpable" flag may change ownership of /proc/PID files
Michael Kerrisk
Improve/correct discussion of changes to dumpable flag during execve(2)
The details were not quite accurate. Defer to prctl(2)
for the more complete picture.
Nikola Forró
Clarify signal sent to the process on late failure
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add capabilities(7)
fanotify_init.2
Amir Goldstein [Matthew Bobrowski]
Move out of place entry FAN_REPORT_FID
It was inserted in the middle of the FAN_CLASS_ multi flags bit
and broke the multi flag documentation.
Michael Kerrisk [Alexander Morozov, Amir Goldstein, Jan Kara]
Remove mention of FAN_Q_OVERFLOW as an input value in 'mask'
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198569.

Clarification about FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD and new events
Amir Goldstein [Jan Kara, Matthew Bobrowski]
Clarification about FAN_MARK_MOUNT and FAN_REPORT_FID
getdents.2
Petr Vorel [Michael Kerrisk]
Mention glibc support for getdents64()
Support was added in glibc 2.30.
Chris Lamb
Correct linux_dirent definition in example code
It is "unsigned long" earlier up in the file
gettid.2
Michael Kerrisk [Joseph C. Sible]
Document header file and feature test macro requirements for gettid()
ioctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add ioctl_fslabel(2)
Michael Kerrisk
Remove mentions of ioctl_list(2)
Michael Kerrisk
Move subsection on "ioctl structure" from ioctl_list(2) to ioctl(2)

mbind.2
Li Xinhai [Michael Kerrisk]
Remove note about MPOL_MF_STRICT been ignored
mmap.2
Michael Kerrisk [Heinrich Schuchardt]
Don't mark MAP_ANON as deprecated
move_pages.2
Yang Shi [Michal Hocko]
Returning positive value is a new error case
mremap.2
Michael Kerrisk
Remove mention of "Segmentation fault" in EFAULT text
"Segmentation fault" (SIGSEGV) is not exactly the same thing as
EFAULT.
Michael Kerrisk
Reorder some paragraphs in NOTES
Michael Kerrisk
Move a paragraph from DESCRIPTION to NOTES
msgctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
Correct description of 'msg_ctime' field
Verified by inspecting kernel source.
nfsservctl.2
Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add nfsd(7)
open.2
Michael Kerrisk
Some '*at' APIs have functionality that isn't in conventional APIs
Note that another reason to use the *at() APIs is to access
'flags' functionality that is not available in the corresponding
conventional APIs.
Michael Kerrisk
Add a few more APIs to list in "Rationale for openat()..."
There have been a few more dirfd APIs added in recent times.
Michael Kerrisk
Explain ways in which a 'directory file descriptor' can be obtained
Michael Kerrisk
Add openat2() to list of APIs that take a 'dirfd' argument
openat2.2
Michael Kerrisk [Aleksa Sarai]
Various changes after feedback from Aleksa Sarai
poll.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add license to example program
prctl.2
Dave Martin
Sort prctls into alphabetical order
Dave Martin
Clarify that prctl can apply to threads
The current synopsis for prctl(2) misleadingly claims that prctl
operates on a process. Rather, some (in fact, most) prctls operate
Dave Martin [Dave Hansen]
Document removal of Intel MPX prctls
Dave Martin
Fix mis-description of thread ID values in procfs
Dave Martin
Work around bogus constant "maxsig" in PR_SET_PDEATHSIG

backwards compatibility.

semget.2
Michael Kerrisk
Add license to example program
shmctl.2

Michael Kerrisk
SEE ALSO: add proc(5) and sysfs(5)
utimensat.2
Goldwyn Rodrigues
Immutable flag returns EPERM

inode" changed the return value of the utimensat(2) from -EACCES
to -EPERM in case of an immutable flag.

Michael Kerrisk
Update wait3() feature test macro requirements for changes in glibc 2.26
cexp2.3

dirfd.3
Michael Kerrisk

dlsym.3
Alexander Monakov
Extend discussion of NULL symbol values
Avoid implying that use of IFUNC is the only way to produce a
symbol with NULL value. Give more scenarios how a symbol may get
NULL value, but explain that in those scenarios dlsym() will fail
with Glibc's ld.so due to an implementation inconsistency.
err.3
Michael Kerrisk
EXAMPLES: use EXIT_FAILURE rather than 1 as exit status
expm1.3
Michael Kerrisk

scalb.3
Michael Kerrisk
These functions now correctly set errno for the EDOM and ERANGE cases
See https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6803
and https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6804

'lo_flags' is nowadays "r/w"

veth.4
Devin J. Pohly
Add a more direct example
iproute2 allows you to specify the netns for either side of a veth
interface at creation time. Add an example of this to veth(4) so
it doesn't sound like you have to move the interfaces in a
separate step.
core.5

Michael Kerrisk [Jonny Grant]
Note that not dumping core of an unreadable binary is a security measure
