             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".

+    NeilBrown
+        Document "Lost locks" as cause for EIO.
+            If an advisory lock is lost, then read/write requests on any

+mmap.2
+    John Hubbard  [Michael Hocko]
+        MAP_FIXED is no longer discouraged
+            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".
+    John Hubbard
+        MAP_FIXED updated documentation
+                -- Expand the documentation to discuss the hazards in
+                   enough detail to allow avoiding them.
+
+                -- Mention the upcoming MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag.
+
+                -- Enhance the alignment requirement slightly.

+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add s390-specific s390_sthyi(2) to syscall list
+
+unshare.2
+    Michael Kerrisk

+        Refer to cgroups(7) for information about files in /sys/kernel/cgroup
+
+capabilities.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note which capability sets are affected by SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP
+            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
+        Ambient set is also cleared when UIDs are set to nonzero value
+
+cgroups.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add a more complete description of cgroup v1 named hierarchies
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add a section on unmounting cgroup v1 filesystems
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add subsection describing cgroups v2 subtree delegation
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Mention ENOENT error that can occur when writing to subtree_control file
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add list of currently available version 2 controllers
+    Nikolay Borisov
+        Add information about RDMA controller
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rewrite the description of cgroup v2 subtree control
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Tejun Heo]
+        Note Linux 4.11 changes to cgroup v2 delegation containment rules
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        systemd(1) nowadays automatically mounts the cgroup2 filesystem
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify that cgroup.controllers is read-only
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Elaborate a little on problems of splitting threads across cgroups in v1
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Tejun Heo]
+        Tweak the description of delegation of cgroup.subtree_control
+
+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
