JWP [Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:04:50 +0000 (15:04 -0500)] 
tzset.3: Correct system timezone file path

The manual incorrectly states the system timezone
path as /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime. Glibc does
not use that file for anything, it uses
$(prefix)/etc/localtime.

There is an ambiguous reference in the man-page to
/etc/localtime, but it does not indicate that it
will be used. It states clearly that
/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime is used.

A comment in the glibc Makeconfig even says that
file should not exist:

> ... relative to $(zonedir).  It is a good idea
> to put this somewhere other than there, so the
> zoneinfo directory contains only universal data,
> localizing the configuration data elsewhere.

Furthermore, the man page does not indicate the
reason this file is being used; which is because
it is the configured system timezone.

A later patch in this series addresses the
possibility that /etc/localtime could be changed
during glibc's compilation. The language changed
in this patch points to the FILE section which is
where the explanation will be. There is no reason
to repeat that information multiple times
throughout the man-page.

EVIDENCE:

glibc/Makeconfig:256: sysconfdir = $(prefix)/etc
glibc/Makeconfig:272: localtime-file = $(sysconfdir)/localtime

FROM INFO LIBC:
C.2 Installing the C Library
============================
   To configure the locally used timezone, set the `TZ' environment
variable.  The script `tzselect' helps you to select the right value.
As an example, for Germany, `tzselect' would tell you to use
`TZ='Europe/Berlin''.  For a system wide installation (the given paths
are for an installation with `--prefix=/usr'), link the timezone file
which is in `/usr/share/zoneinfo' to the file `/etc/localtime'.  For
Germany, you might execute `ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
/etc/localtime'.

10 years agoproc.5: Document /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
Elie De Brauwer [Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:21:02 +0000 (20:21 +0100)] 
proc.5: Document /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory

Since 2.6.36 [1] CONFIG_COMPACTION is supported in Linux (for a
detailed explanation see [2]). But in essence the contents of
/proc/buddyinfo shows how much contiguous areas of a certain
size are available. These numbers are not actually up to date
as the Linux kernel will implicitly trigger compaction
(+- defragmentation) when an allocation is done.  This makes it
difficult since you can't predict upfront whether or not a large
allocation will succeed or not.  By using
/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory you can explicitly trigger compaction
to occur and /proc/buddyinfo will give a more realistic view on
the available memory in contiguous areas.

This patch updates proc.5 to explain the usage of this file and is
inspired by Documentation/systcl/vm.txt [3]
