==================== Changes in man-pages-3.03 ====================


New and rewritten pages
-----------------------

getcpu.2
     Andi Kleen, with some text and edits by mtk
         Documents the getcpu(2) system call, introduced in Linux 2.6.19.

sched_getcpu.3
     mtk
         Documents sched_getcpu(3), a wrapper for getcpu(2), provided
         since glibc 2.6.

cpuset.7
     Paul Jackson, with review and editing by mtk, and comments by
     Hidetoshi Seto and Li Zefan
         A description of the cpuset file system, the mechanism introduced
         kernel 2.6.12 for confining processes to designated processors
         and nodes.  (Becomes the fourth largest page in man-pages!)


Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

signal.7
     mtk
         Add a section describing system call restarting, and noting
         which system calls are affected by SA_RESTART, and which
         system calls are never restarted.
     mtk
         Describe the aberrant Linux behavior whereby a stop signal
         plus SIGCONT can interrupt some system calls, even if no
         signal handler has been established, and note the system
         calls that behave this way.
