- MAP_FIXED has been widely used for a very long time, yet the man
- page still claims that "the use of this option is discouraged".

- enough detail to allow avoiding them.
-
- -- Mention the upcoming MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag.
-

- Note explicitly that SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is relevant for
- the permitted, effective, and ambient capability sets.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Deemphasize the ancient prctl(2) PR_SET_KEEPCAPS command
- The modern approach is SECBITS_KEEP_CAPS.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify effect of CAP_SETFCAP
- Make it clear that CAP_SETFCAP allows setting arbitrary
- capabilities on a file.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Clarify which capability sets are effected by SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS
- This flag has relevance only for the process permitted and
- effective sets.
- Michael Kerrisk
- Rephrase CAP_SETPCAP description
- * Mention kernel versions.
- * Place current kernel behavior first
- Michael Kerrisk
- SECBIT_KEEP_CAPS is ignored if SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set
- Michael Kerrisk

-
-cgroups.7
- Michael Kerrisk

-
-ip.7
- Ricardo Biehl Pasquali
- INADDR_* values cannot be assigned directly to 's_addr'
- Michael Kerrisk
- s/INADDR_ANY/INADDR_LOOPBACK/ in discussion of htonl()
- INADDR_LOOPBACK is a better example, since it is not
- byte-order neutral.
-
-namespaces.7
-network_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Move content from namespaces(7) to network_namespaces(7)
-
-pid_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- SEE ALSO: add mount_namespaces(7)
-
-sched.7
- Michael Kerrisk [Andrea Parri]
- Correctly describe effect of priority changes for RT threads
- The placement of a thread in the run queue for its new
- priority depends on the direction of movement in priority.
- (This appears to contradict POSIX, except in the case of
- pthread_setschedprio().)
-
-user_namespaces.7
- Michael Kerrisk
- Mention NS_GET_OWNER_UID ioctl() operation
to the process is somewhat redundant. Binaries with capabilities
confer capabilities only to those process capability sets, so it's
simpler to just say "confers capabilities to the process".
