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.
-New and changed links
----------------------
-
+rename.2
+ Miklos Szeredi [Michael Kerrisk]
+ Document renameat2()
+ Some light edits to this patch by mtk.
-Global changes
---------------
+shmop.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Document SHM_EXEC
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
+fallocate.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Employ term "open file description" in DESCRIPTION
+ 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)

+
+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
+ Remove repetitious text on use of fcntl() to change file status flags
+
+open_by_handle_at.2

+sched_get_priority_max.2

+
+semget.2
+ 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
+ and BUGS). Consolidate these into one place (in NOTES)
+ and also point out that POSIX.1-2008 says that a future
+ version of the standard may require an implementation to
+ initialize the semaphores to 0.

+ Clarify SEMMNS versus SEMMSL*SEMMNI
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Rework EINVAL text a little
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify wording for EEXIST error

+ PAGE_SIZE. The current documentation does not mention that
+ and is therefore more difficult to understand than necessary.
+ Manfred Spraul
+ Correct math error
+ 2097152 is 2^21, not 2^20.
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Reword EEXIST error
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify one of the EINVAL cases
+ Michael Kerrisk

+ Alan Curry
+ Fix bad cross reference (times(2) not time(2))
+ The system call that reports child CPU usage is times(2),
+ not time(2).
+
