- Update the perf_event_open manpage to be more consistent when
- discussing overflow events. It merges the discussion of
- poll-type notifications with those generated by SIGIO
- signal handlers.
- This addresses the remaining FIXMEs is the document.
- Vince Weaver
- Remove inaccurate paragraph describing attr.config
- Remove an inaccurate paragraph about values in the attr.config
- field. This information was never true in any released kernel;
- it somehow snuck into the manpage because it is still described
- this way in tools/perf/design.txt in the kernel source tree.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Correct the kernel version number for PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_NODE
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add some kernel version numbers to various fields and constants

-
-utimensat.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Elliot Hughes]
- If both tv_sec fields are UTIME_OMIT, the file need not exist
- As noted by Elliot, if both tv_sec fields are UTIME_OMIT,
