 153 makedev.3
 154     Mike Frysinger
 155         Use <sys/sysmacros.h> in SYNOPSIS
 156             Defining these functions via <sys/types.h> causes problems for
 157             some folk. As noted by Zack Wein:
 158
 159                 libstdc++ force-enables _GNU_SOURCE, which means people
 160                 writing in C++ _can't_ avoid these nonstandard macros by
 161                 using a strict conformance mode.
 162
 163             Since glibc has basically always used <sys/sysmacros.h>,
 164             update the docs to have people include that instead.
 165     Michael Kerrisk
 166         NOTES: mention that <sys/types.h> may also define these macros
 167
 168 popen.3
 169     Nikola Forró

 182
 183 locale.5
 184     Marko Myllynen
 185         Adjust LC_IDENTIFICATION / abbreviation
 186             Tiny tweak to locale.5 based on the on ISO/IEC TR 14652:
 187

 189     Marko Myllynen
 190         Update LC_ADDRESS after glibc change
 191             This patch updates locale.5 to match the recent glibc change
 192             in commit a837257199ffab76237385b830cc7b6179fc2f18
 193     Marko Myllynen
 194         Complete LC_COLLATE
 195             Here's the first attempt to (almost) complete the locale.5 manual
 196             page by documenting all (but perhaps one) of the missing
 197             LC_COLLATE keywords.
 198     Mike Frysinger

 206             Glibc commit ced8f8933673f4efda1d666d26a1a949602035ed

 208
 209 proc.5
 210     Michael Kerrisk
 211         Move /proc/PID/cgroup discussion to cgroups(7) page
 212     Michael Kerrisk
 213         Add some background on why /proc/PID/mountinfo was added
 214     Michael Kerrisk
 215         Improve description of /proc/PID/mountinfo 'root' field
 216     Michael Kerrisk
 217         Add pointer to cgroups(7) for documentation of /proc/cgroups
 218     Michael Kerrisk
 219         Add reference to core(5) for info on /proc/sys/kernel/core_pipe_limit
 220
 221 cpuset.7

 224
 225 ip.7
 226     Benjamin Poirier
 227         Fix incorrect sockopt name
 228             "IP_LEAVE_GROUP" does not exist. It was perhaps a confusion with
 229             MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP. Change the text to IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP which has
 230             the same function as MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP and is documented in the
 231             ip.7 man page.
 232

 238 namespaces.7
 239     Michael Kerrisk
 240         Add /proc/PID/mountinfo discussion under cgroup namespaces
 241             The discussion here is contingent on the acceptance of
 242             Serge Hallyn's patch, "mountinfo: implement show_path
 243             for kernfs and cgroup".

 256
 257 ld.so.8
 258     Michael Kerrisk  [Alon Bar-Lev]
 259         Document use of $ORIGIN, $LIB, and $PLATFORM in environment variables
 260             These strings are meaningful in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD.
