+New and rewritten pages
+-----------------------

--------------
+Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
+---------------------------------------------
-sysvipc.7
- svipc(7) is renamed to sysvipc(7).

- /proc/sysvipc.
New and changed links
---------------------
-svipc.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add old name of sysvipc(7) page as a link
-
Global changes
--------------
-Various pages
- Michael Kerrisk
- Change reference to svipc(7) to sysvipc(7)
-
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
-pldd.1
- G. Branden Robinson [Michael Kerrisk]
- Document glibc's unbreakage of tool
- After a longstanding breakage, pldd now works again (glibc 2.30).
-
-bpf.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Correct kernel version for JIT support on s390
-
-chdir.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add ENOTDIR error for fchdir()
-
-execve.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Eugene Syromyatnikov]
- Since Linux 5.1, the limit on the #! line is 255 chars (rather than 127)
- Shawn Landden [Michael Kerrisk]
- Add more detail about Shebangs
- Michael Kerrisk
- Linux is not alone in ignoring the set-UID and set-GID bits for scripts
-
-mount.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: Add a couple of EINVAL errors for MS_MOVE
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add chroot(2) and pivot_root(2)
-
-mprotect.2
- Mark Wielaard
- pkey_mprotect() acts like mprotect() if pkey is set to -1, not 0
-
-mprotect.2
-pkey_alloc.2
- Mark Wielaard [Florian Weimer]
- _GNU_SOURCE is required for the pkey functions.
-
-pivot_root.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: EINVAL occurs if 'new_root' or its parent has shared propagation
- Michael Kerrisk
- 'new_root' must be a mount point
- It appears that 'new_root' may not have needed to be a mount
- point on ancient kernels, but already in Linux 2.4.5 this changed.
- Michael Kerrisk
- 'put_old' can't be a mount point with MS_SHARED propagation
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add mount(2)
-
-poll.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Alan Stern]
- Note that poll() equivalent code for ppoll() is not quite equivalent
-
-prctl.2
- Yang Xu [Cyrill Gorcunov]
- Correct some details for PR_SET_TIMERSLACK
-
-setxattr.2
- Finn O'Leary [Michael Kerrisk]
- Add ERANGE to 'ERRORS' section
-
-tkill.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- glibc 2.30 provides a wrapper for tgkill()
-
-dlopen.3
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify the rules for symbol resolution in a dlopen'ed object
- The existing text wrongly implied that symbol look up first
- occurred in the object and then in main, and did not mention
- whether dependencies of main where used for symbol resolution.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify when an executable's symbols can be used for symbol resolution
- The --export-dynamic linker option is not the only way that main's
- global symbols may end up in the dynamic symbol table and thus be
- used to satisfy symbol reference in a shared object. A symbol
- may also be placed into the dynamic symbol table if ld(1)
- notices a dependency in another object during the static link.
- Michael Kerrisk
- An object opened with RTLD_LOCAL can be promoted to RTLD_GLOBAL
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that symbol use might keep a dlclose'd object in memory
- My earlier commit was in error:
- Michael Kerrisk
- On dlclose(), destructors are called when reference count falls to 0
- Michael Kerrisk
- Make it clear that RTLD_NODELETE also affects global variables
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify that constructors are called only when library is first loaded
-
-exec.3
- Matthew Kenigsberg
- Explain function groupings
- I've found the exec man page quite difficult to read when trying
- to find the behavior for a specific function. Since the names of
- the functions are inline and the order of the descriptions isn't
- clear, it's hard to find which paragraphs apply to each function.
- I thought it would be much easier to read if the grouping based on
- letters is stated.
-
-getutent.3
- Michael Kerrisk [Thorsten Glaser]
- Fix missing include file in EXAMPLE
- See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932382
-
-on_exit.3
- Michael Kerrisk [Sami Kerola]
- Stack variables may be out of scope when exit handler is invoked
-
-strcat.3
- Michael Kerrisk [Eric Sanchis]
- Fix off-by-one error in example code
-
-cpuid.4
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add cpuid(1)
-
-elf.5
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add ld.so(8)
-
-proc.5
- Michael Kerrisk
- Correct description of /proc/PID/status 'ShdPnd' and 'SigPnd' fields
- These fields are signal masks, not counters.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify that various mask fields in /proc/PID/status are in hexadecimal
-
-capabilities.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add a note about using strace on binaries that have capabilities
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add pivot_root(2) to CAP_SYS_ADMIN list
- Michael Kerrisk
- CAP_FOWNER also allows modifying user xattrs on sticky directories
-
-cgroup_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Some wording fixes to improve clarity
- Michael Kerrisk
- In the example shell session, give second shell a different prompt
-
-credentials.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that /proc/PID/status shows a process's credentials
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add tcgetsid(3)
-
-fanotify.7
- Matthew Bobrowski
- Reword FAN_REPORT_FID data structure inclusion semantics
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify logic in ESTALE check
- Michael Kerrisk
- Reorder text in EXAMPLE
- Michael Kerrisk
- Reformat program output to fit in 80 columns
-
-mount_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify implications for other NS if mount point is removed in one NS
- If a mount point is deleted or renamed or removed in one mount
- namespace, this will cause an object that is mounted at that
- location in another mount namespace to be unmounted (as verified
- by experiment). This was implied by the existing text, but it is
- better to make this detail explicit.
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add pivot_root(2), pivot_root(8)
-
-namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note initial values of hostname and domainname in a new UTS namespace
-
-sched.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add pthread_getschedparam(3)
-
-signal.7
- Michal Sekletar [Oleg Nesterov, Michael Kerrisk]
- Clarify that siginfo_t isn't changed on coalescing
- Michael Kerrisk
- Various fields in /proc/PID/status show signal-related information
- Michael Kerrisk
- Add subsection on queuing and delivery semantics for standard signals
-
-socket.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- select()/poll()/epoll honor SO_RCVLOWAT since Linux 2.6.28
-
-unix.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note SCM_RIGHTS interaction with RLIMIT_NOFILE
- If the file descriptors received in SCM_RIGHTS would cause
- the process to its exceed RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the excess
- FDs are discarded.
-
-user_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Describe the effect of file-related capabilities inside use namespaces
- Michael Kerrisk
- Describe how kernel treats UIDs/GIDs when a process accesses files
-
-vdso.7
- Tobias Klauser
- Mention removal of Blackfin port in Linux 4.17
-
-ld.so.8
- Michael Kerrisk [Matthias Hertel]
- Note some further details of secure-execution mode
- Note some further details of the treatment of environment
- variables in secure execution mode. In particular (as noted by
- Matthias Hertel), note that ignored environment variables are also
- stripped from the environment. Furthermore, there are some other
- variables, not used by the dynamic linker itself, that are also
- treated in this way (see the glibc source file
- sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h).
