Apologies if I missed anyone!
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
-fanotify_init.2
- Heinrich Schuchardt, Michael Kerrisk
- New page documenting fanotify_init(2)
-
-fanotify_mark.2
- Heinrich Schuchardt, Michael Kerrisk
- New page documenting fanotify_mark(2)
-
-sched_setscheduler.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Page rewritten
- Stripped out the general scheduling material, which
- moved to sched(7), and rewrote much of the remainder.
- Changed copyright and license since pretty much all
- of the content was or is written by mtk.
-
-fanotify.7
- Heinrich Schuchardt, Michael Kerrisk
- New page providing overview of the fanotify API
-
-sched.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- New page providing an overview of the scheduling APIs
- Most of this content derives from sched_setscheduler(2). In
- preparation for adding a sched_setattr(2) page, it makes
- sense to isolate out this general content to a separate
- page that is referred to by the other scheduling pages.
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
-fallocate.2
- Lukas Czerner [Michael Kerrisk]
- Document FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
- FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE was added in Linux 3.14,
- for zeroing ranges in the allocated space in a file.
-rename.2
- Miklos Szeredi [Michael Kerrisk]
- Document renameat2()
- Some light edits to this patch by mtk.
+New and changed links
+---------------------
+
-shmop.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Document SHM_EXEC
+Global changes
+--------------
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

- And include reference to open(2) for an explanation of the term.
-
-getpriority.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add sched(7)
-
-getsockopt.2
- Carsten Andrich
- SEE ALSO: add packet(7)
-
-link.2

-
-open.2
- Peter Schiffer
- Update note on alignment of user buffer and file offset for O_DIRECT
- The sentence in open(2) man page in notes for O_DIRECT flag:
-
- "Under Linux 2.6, alignment to 512-byte boundaries suffices."
-
- is not universally correct. The alignment is a property of the
- storage, for example, 4k-sector drives with no 512 byte sector
- emulation will be unable to perform 512-byte direct I/O.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note some of the various synonyms for "open file description"
- Michael Kerrisk

- Consolidate discussion on noninitialization of semaphores
- The fact that semget() does not initialize the semaphores
- in a new set was covered in two places (in DESCRIPTION
