New and rewritten pages
20082
-----------------------
20085
Petr Baudis, Michael Kerrisk
20086
New page to centralize description of sigevent structure
20087
Several interfaces use this structure. Best to centralize the
20088
common details in one place. Content taken from the existing
20089
timerfd_create.2 and mq_open.3 pages, with additions by
20090
Petr Baudis and Michael Kerrisk.
20093
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
20094
---------------------------------------------
20098
Document IP_NODEFRAG
20099
This option is new in Linux 2.6.36
20103
Document SIOCINQ ioctl() operation
20148
clock_getcpuclockid.3
20256
Add/fix/update feature test macro requirements in SYNOPSIS
20257
Various changes to:
20258
* Update feature test requirements to note changes in
20259
recent glibc releases
20260
* Correct errors in feature test macro requirements
20261
* Add feature test macro requirements to pages where
20262
the requirements were not previously stated.
20270
sched_setaffinity.2
20280
gnu_get_libc_version.3
20285
pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3
20286
pthread_getattr_np.3
20287
pthread_setaffinity_np.3
20288
pthread_tryjoin_np.3
20297
SYNOPSIS: Add reference to feature_test_macros(7)
20298
These pages specify feature test macros in the function
20299
prototypes. Add a reference to feature_test_macros(7),
20300
so that readers are pointed to the information that
20301
feature test macros must be defined before including
20305
clock_getcpuclockid.3
20312
RETURN VALUE: Note that "positive error numbers" are listed in ERRORS
20325
Note that feature test macros must be defined before *any* includes
20326
Programmers often make the mistake of including a feature test
20327
macro only after having already included some header files.
20328
This patch adds some text at opportune places to remind
20329
programmers to do things the right way.
20348
SEE ALSO: Add reference to string(3)
20349
The idea here is to provide a route to discover other
20364
Fix decimal values in encoding tables
20365
Octal and hexadecimal values are right, but there are some
20366
off-by one errors in decimal values. Correct values are
20367
printed by this command:
20369
perl -pi -e 'if (s/^([0-7]+)\t([0-9]+)\t([0-9a-fA-F]+)//)
20370
{printf "%03o\t%d\t%s", hex($3), hex($3), $3;};' man7/*.7
20373
Changes to individual pages
20374
---------------------------
20378
SYNOPSIS: Remove unneeded "undef _POSIX_SOURCE"
20382
Add feature test macro requirements for F_GETOWN and F_SETOWN
20386
Note feature test macro requirements for F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
20390

20406

20416
Add reference to new sigevent(7) page

20444
was (silently) resolved.
20448
Noted prev == NULL bug in glibc 2.4 and earlier
20449
As noted by Remi Denis-Courmont, glibc nowadays allows
20450
'prev' to be NULL, as required by POSIX for initializing
20451
a linear list. But in glibc 2.4 and earlier, 'prev' could
20452
not be NULL. Add a BUGS section noting this.
20454
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551201

20538
must be defined before including any header files to the top of
20539
the page, and highlight the text further, so that the reader will
20540
not miss this point.
20545
Add SEE ALSO reference to new sigevent(7) page
20549
Clarify header file details for SIOCINQ and SIOCOUTQ
20550

New page documenting aio_init(3)
20867
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
20868
---------------------------------------------
20872
Document the architecture-specific arm_fadvise64_64() system call
20873
This ARM-specific system call fixes the argument ordering
20874
for that architecture. Since Linux 2.6.14.
20878
Document the architecture-specific sync_file_range2() system call
20879
As described in commit edd5cd4a9424f22b0fa08bef5e299d41befd5622,
20880
the sync_file_range() argument order is broken for some
20881
architectures (PowerPC, ARM, tile). The remedy was a different
20882
system call using the right argument order on those architectures.
20886
Document psiginfo()
20887
psiginfo() was added to glibc in version 2.10.
20889
Add details, VERSIONS, and BUGS for psiginfo()
20893
Document IP_RECVORIGDSTADDR

Changes to individual pages
20948
---------------------------
20952
SYNOPSIS: fix type of 'wd' argument
20956
Rewrite VERSIONS, noting that the system call is fadvise64()
20960
Add the PowerPC-specific subpage_prot() system call
20961
Add sync_file_range2()
20965
Fix feature test macros
20975
SEE ALSO: Add lio_listio(3)
20981
Make these into links
20982

20983
of getaddrinfo_a.3, instead of being made as link files.
20987
Prevent possible NULL pointer access in example program
20991
Emphasize that malloc() and realloc() do not initialize allocated memory
20995
Warn that these functions are deprecated
20999
Formatting fixes in strncpy() example implementation code
21003
Reword NOTES on Linux-specific options
21007
SEE ALSO: Add aio_read(3), aio_write(3), and lio_listio(3)
21011
Document the autobind feature
21013
Fix description of abstract socket names
21014
As reported by Lennart Poettering:
21015
The part about "abstract" sockets is misleading as it suggests
21016
that the sockaddr returned by getsockname() would necessarily
21017
have the size of sizeof(struct sockaddr), which however is not
21018
the case: getsockname() returns exactly the sockaddr size that
21019
was passed in on bind(). In particular, two sockets that are
21020
bound to the same sockaddr but different sizes are completely
21022
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19812
21024
Fix description of "pathname" sockets
21025
As reported by Lennart Poettering:
21026
The part about "pathname" sockets suggests usage of
21027
sizeof(sa_family_t) + strlen(sun_path) + 1
21028
for calculating the sockaddr size. Due to alignment/padding
21029
this is probably not a good idea. Instead, one should use
21030
offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen() + 1
21031
or something like that.

New and rewritten pages
21064
-----------------------
21068
New page documenting kexec_load(2)
21072
Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman
21073
Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should
21074
be "physical" and noted:
21076
There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec that
21077
virtual and physical addresses will be identity mapped. But
21078
this isn't the old Alpha booting convention where you have
21079
a virtual address and then you have to parse the page table
21080
to figure out where your kernel was actually loaded.

Fix feature test macro requirements
21287
Various minor rewordings
21294
Remove definite article from NAME section
21295
Please find inline another tiny patch in order to shrink
21296
the definite article from some other pages (found with
21297
"rgrep -i ' \\\- the' man*").
21301
Various minor rewordings

21323
Fix special character names
21324
Comparing to koi8-u.7, I noticed some inconsistencies in special
21325
character names. After checking with the following Unicode related
21326
pages, please find inline (and gzipped attached, hopefully not
21327
messing with encoding), a patch in order to make it right, on an
21328
Unicode point of view.

21335
Fix SEE ALSO reference and letter names
21336
The koi8-r(7) (Russian Net Character Set) manual page refers
21337
to iso-8859-7(7) manual page, which is the Latin/Greek one.
21338
I guess it should refer instead to the iso-8859-5(7)
21339
(Latin/Cyrillic) one. This is addressed at the end of the patch.
21341
It has also been spotted that letter names are different in
21342
this manual page and in the Unicode related page [0], the
21343
first part of the page address this.
21345
0: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0400.pdf
21350
The old example used the chmod(2) man page, but the
21351
feature test macro requirements on that page had changed.
21352
Update to use an example from a different page (acct(2),
21353
whose feature test macro requirements are probably unlikely
21354
to change in the future).
