Apologies if I missed anyone!
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
-pidfd_open.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Christian Brauner, Florian Weimer, Daniel Colascione]
- New page documenting pidfd_open(2)
-
-pidfd_send_signal.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Florian Weimer, Christian Brauner]

-pivot_root.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Eric W. Biederman, Reid Priedhorsky, Philipp Wendler]
- This page has been completely rewritten, adding a lot of missing
- details (including the use of (pivot_root(".", ".")) and an example
- program. In addition, the text prevaricating on whether or not
- pivot_root() might change the root and current working directories has
- been eliminated, and replaced with a simple description of the behavior
- of the system call, which has not changed for 19 years, and will not
- change in the future. Many longstanding errors in the old version of
- the page have also been corrected.
-
-ipc_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- New page with content migrated from namespaces(7)
-
-uts_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- New page with content migrated from namespaces(7)
-
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
-clone.2
- Christian Brauner, Michael Kerrisk
- Document CLONE_PIDFD
- Add an entry for CLONE_PIDFD. This flag is available starting
- with kernel 5.2. If specified, a process file descriptor
- ("pidfd") referring to the child process will be returned in
- the ptid argument.
-
-fanotify_mark.2
- Jakub Wilk
- Document FAN_MOVE_SELF
-
-ptrace.2

- to MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_SHARED.
