Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
+bind.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ ERRORS: Add EADDRINUSE for ephemeral port range exhaustion
+
+chown.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add some subheadings
+
+connect.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [William Morriss]
+ ERRORS: Add EADDRNOTAVAIL for ephemeral port range exhaustion
+ Verified from testing and the kernel source.
+ See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745775
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Remove mention of ip_local_port_range under EAGAIN error
+ Man-pages commit ac7477eb7a8 added EADDRNOTAVAIL as the correct
+ error for ephemeral port range exhaustion. However, that error
+ was also incorrectly described under the EAGAIN entry. So,
+ remove that text under EAGAIN.
+
+create_module.2
+delete_module.2
+init_module.2
+query_module.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Lucas De Marchi]
+ Clarify glibc header file declaration/ABI wrapper details
+ create_module(), delete_module(), init_module(), and
+ query_module() are not declared in header files, but
+ through an accident of history glibc provides an ABI
+ for them that it continues to maintain, for
+ compatibility reasons.
+
+execve.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Steven Stewart-Gallus]
+ Note SIGKILL case when execve() fails beyond the point of no return
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add a subheading and reorder paragraphs
+
+fanotify_init.2
+ Heinrich Schuchardt [Michael Kerrisk]
+ Document range of permitted flags for event_f_flags
+ With a new patch included in the mm tree, event_f_flags is
+ checked for allowable values.
+
+fcntl.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add "file locking" subheading under NOTES
+
+fork.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ ERRORS: SCHED_DEADLINE tasks can fail with EAGAIN
+ SCHED_DEADLINE tasks can fail with EAGAIN unless the
+ reset-on-fork flag is set.
+
+futex.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Note that there is no glibc wrapper
+
+getpriority.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix prototypes for getpriority() and setpriority()
+ The who argument has type id_t (which happens to be u32 on linux).
+
+get_robust_list.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Add <sys/types.h> to synopsis of get_robust_list()
+ If one were to implement wrappers for [gs]et_robust_list() using the
+ given prototypes, one would also have to include sys/types.h to get
+ a definition of size_t.
+
+getrusage.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Bill Allombert]
+ _GNU_SOURCE must be defined to obtain RUSAGE_THREAD definition
+ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=746569
+
+link.2
+open.2
+ Andy Lutomirski [Michael Kerrisk]
+ Update AT_EMPTY_PATH and O_PATH documentation
+
+listen.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ ERRORS: Add EADDRINUSE for ephemeral port range exhaustion
+
+mbind.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix prototype for mbind(2)
+ The nmask argument is const. The return type in numaif.h is long.
+ (Well, at least <numaif.h> says nmask is const. The current kernel
+ does not define it as a const argument, but sys_mbind() only
+ passes it to get_nodes(), which does treat it as const.)
+
+msgop.2
+ Davidlohr Bueso [Michael Kerrisk]
+ Enhance description of "full queue" criteria
+
+poll.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Add <signal.h> to synopsis for ppoll()
+ One needs to #include <signal.h> to get the definition of the
+ type (sigset_t) of the mask argument to ppoll().
+
+readlink.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix return type of readlinkat()
+
+recv.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify details of msg_name and msg_namelen fields
+
+recvmmsg.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Describe timeout bug
+ See FIXME https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75371
+ and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/5677
+
+remap_file_pages.2
+ Andy Lutomirski [Christoph Hellwig, Andy Lutomirski]
+ remap_file_pages() has no benefit for real files
+ Linux commit 3ee6dafc677a68e461a7ddafc94a580ebab80735 caused
+ remap_file_pages to be emulated when used on real file.
+
+sched_get_priority_max.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ 'policy' can also be SCHED_DEADLINE
+
+sched_setaffinity.2

+semget.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add subheadings and reorder paragraphs
+
+semop.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix prototypes for semop() and semtimedop()
+ The nsops arguments have type size_t, not unsigned, and the
+ timeout argument of semtimedop() is const.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add a subheading
+
+send.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add details on various 'msghdr' fields
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ ERRORS: Add EAGAIN for ephemeral port range exhaustion
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add some subheadings under DESCRIPTION
+
+shmget.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add a subheading

+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Update FTM requirements for lstat()
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Split discussion of 'st_mode' fields into type and permissions
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Move text on S_I*() macros to follow text on S_I* macros
+ That ordering is more logical
+
+stime.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix prototype for stime()
+ The argument is const, both according to the actual header files and
+ according to <http://www.sco.com/developers/devspecs/vol1a.pdf>.
+
+syscall.2
+ Rasmus Villemoes
+ Fix prototype for syscall()
+ The first argument and the return value of syscall() has type long,
+ not int.
+
+getopt.3
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ EXAMPLE: Add subheadings to distinguish the two example programs
+

+stpcpy.3
+ Ingo Schwarze
+ Note some history of stpcpy()
+ Quoting Ingo:
+ I just noticed that the stpcpy(3) manual contains a speculation
+ that appears to be untrue on closer investigation: That function
+ did not originate in MS DOS, but in Lattice C on AmigaDOS.
+
+ Here is a patch against the git master HEAD to fix that, and add
+ some more historical information. To provide some background and
+ allow you to more easily verify the correctness of the patch, i'm
+ appending my mail to <misc@openbsd.org>, where i'm giving some
+ more details about the history and pointing to some primary
+ sources. That mail also contains the (similar, but shorter)
+ patch i just committed to the OpenBSD manual page.
+
+strcasecmp.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Aurelien Jarno, Török Edwin]

+ Michael Kerrisk
+ NOTES: Add a subheading
+
+fd.4
+ Michael Kerrisk [Sam Varshavchik]
+ Fix floppy disk device names
+ The naming convention shown in the page was ancient.
+ Now, the page is consistent with Documentation/devices.txt
+ (where it is noted that "The use of the capital letters
+ D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
+ the drive type is insignificant for these devices"
+
+proc.5
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Document /proc/timer_stats
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ (Briefly) document /proc/timer_list
+ Text taken from kernel commit
+ 289f480af87e45f7a6de6ba9b4c061c2e259fe98.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add /proc/sys/kernel/{sched_rt_period_us,sched_rt_runtime_us}

+ BUGS: error events can be lost when reading from fanotify FD
+ Michael Kerrisk [Heinrich Schuchardt]
+ Fix description of FAN_EVENT_NEXT()
+ FAN_EVENT_NEXT() does not update 'meta'; rather, it returns a
+ pointer to the next metadata structure. In addition, generally
+ rework the description to be a bit clearer and more detailed.
+ Heinrich Schuchardt
+ Document FAN_EVENT_METADATA_LEN
+
+ip.7
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Note cases where an ephemeral port is used
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Remove BUGS text on glibc failing to declare in_pktinfo
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify 'ip_local_port_range' and mention the term "ephemeral ports"
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Note some more details about assignment of ephemeral ports
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ BUGS: ephemeral port range exhaustion is diagnosed inconsistently
+ Different system calls use different 'errno' values to diagnose
+ exhaustion of the ephemeral port range.
+
+sched.7
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Document sched_rt_period_us and sched_rt_runtime_us /proc files
+ And rework and relocate the text on dealing with runaway
+ real-time processes.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Mention sched_setattr(2) in list of APIs that can change policies
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ sched_setattr(2) can also be used to set 'nice' value
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Remove mention of sched_setscheduler() when talking about sched_priority
+ There are nowadays multiple ways to set sched_priority (and
+ in fact there always were, since we also had sched_setparam(2)).
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ SEE ALSO: Add Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Don't mention sched_setscheduler(2) in discussions of setting policies
+ In a couple of places, sched_setscheduler(2) is mentioned as the
+ way of setting policies. But now there is sched_setattr(2) as
+ well, rewrite the text in a more generic way.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Rework summary text describing sched_setattr(2) and sched_getattr(2)
+ Note that these APIs are a superset of sched_setscheduler(2)
+ and sched_getscheduler(2).
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Remove crufty text relating to sched_setscheduler()
+ All of the removed text is in sched_setscheduler(2) and
+ should have been trimmed from this page.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ SEE ALSO: Mention more files in Documentation/scheduler/ directory
