+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+mremap.2
+    Eric B Munson  [Michal Hocko]
+        Add note about mremap() with locked areas
+            When mremap() is used to move or expand a mapping that is locked
+            with mlock() or equivalent it will attempt to populate the new
+            area.  However, like mmap(MAP_LOCKED), mremap() will not fail if
+            the area cannot be populated.  Also like mmap(MAP_LOCKED) this
+            might come as a surprise to users and should be noted.
+open.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [David Drysdale]
+        Remove accidental mention of O_TTY_INIT
+            An earlier edit mentioned O_TTY_INIT as a file creation flag.
+            That's true, according POSIX, but Linux does not implement
+            this flag, so remove mention of it.
+
+pipe.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add splice(2)
+
+prctl.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Reorder options alphabetically
+            Employ a pseudo-alphabetical order, ordering options after removal
+            of any "PR_", "PR_SET_", or "PR_GET" prefix.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix alphabetical misplacements in ERRORS
+
+ptrace.2
+    Tycho Andersen
+        Document PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that PTRACE_ATTACH cannot be applied to nondumpable processes
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add prctl(2)
+
+reboot.2
+    Casper Ti. Vector
+        1-argument reboot() is also provided by alternative libc
+
+seccomp.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe use of 'instruction_pointer' data field
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Kees Cook]
+        Note why all filters in a set are executed even after SECCOMP_RET_KILL
+
+signalfd.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe semantics with respect to SCM_RIGHTS
+
+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add mlock(2)
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add userfaultfd()
+
+daemon.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Johannes Stüttgen]
+        Note that daemon() is buggy with respect to controlling tty acquisition
+
+dirfd.3
+    Jonathan Wakely
+        Remove outdated NOTES
+            As stated in the SYNOPSIS, since glibc 2.10 this function is also
+            declared by the relevant X/Open and POSIX macros.
+
+dlopen.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Make it more explicit that LD_BIND_NOW overrides RTLD_LAZY
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Florian Weimer]
+        Correct the pathname used in EXAMPLE
+            Quoting Florian:
+
+                This does not work because libm.so can be a linker script:
+
+                       handle = dlopen("libm.so", RTLD_LAZY);
+
+                The proper way to do this is to include <gnu/lib-names.h>
+                and use LIBM_SO.
+
+            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108821
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Include a shell session showing build/run in EXAMPLE
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Change arguments to main() to "void" in EXAMPLE
+
+fgetgrent.3
+    Zeng Linggang
+        ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is not thread-safe
+
+fgetpwent.3
+    Zeng Linggang
+        ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is not thread-safe
+
+getauxval.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add some details for AT_SECURE
+
+getspnam.3
+    Zeng Linggang
+        ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are/aren't thread-safe
+
+mallinfo.3
+    Zeng Linggang
+        ATTRIBUTES: Note function that is not thread-safe
+
+mallopt.3
+    Carlos O'Donell
+        Document M_ARENA_TEST and M_ARENA_MAX
+
+posix_fallocate.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify text relating to MT-safety
+    Carlos O'Donell
+        Mention glibc emulation caveats
+
+termios.3
+    Olivier TARTROU
+        Add missing details on behaviour of PARMRK
+            For a serial terminal, with a specific configuration, input bytes
+            with value 0377 are passed to the program as two bytes, 0377 0377.
+
+tty_ioctl.4
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Peter Hurley]
+        Note that TIOCTTYGSTRUCT went away in Linux 2.5.67
+
+core.5
+    Ross Zwisler
+        Add info about DAX coredump filtering flags
+            Kernel 4.4 added two new core dump filtering flags,
+            MMF_DUMP_DAX_PRIVATE and MMF_DUMP_DAX_SHARED.
+
+            These flags allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings.
+            This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb
+            mappings, have the potential to be very large.
+
+nsswitch.conf.5
+    Nikola Forró
+        Add list of files being read when "files" service is used
+            This is not mentioned anywhere. Users can assume that the file
+            being read is something like /etc/$DATABASE, but that's not
+            always the case. It's better to explicitly specify which
+            file is read for each respective database.  The list of
+            files was acquired from glibc source code.
+
+proc.5
+    Heinrich Schuchardt  [Michael Kerrisk]
+        Add details for threads-max
+            Add detail information for threads-max.
+            The checks for minimum and maximum values exist since kernel 4.1.
+            https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/15/96
+    Heinrich Schuchardt
+        /proc/sys: Describe whitespace characters
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document 'CapAmb' in /proc/PID/status
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add reference to ptrace(2) for /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
+
+aio.7
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Meikun Wang]
+        Add missing include file, <fcntl.h>, to example program
+
+mq_overview.7
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Arto Bendiken]
+        Document QSIZE bug that appeared in 3.5 and was fixed in 4.2
+
+path_resolution.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify recursive resolution of symlinks and note limits
+
+pipe.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add splice(2)
+
+rtld-audit.7
+    Namhyung Kim
+        Fix (typo) error in la_pltenter() description
+            s/la_pltenter()/la_pltexit()/
+
+            la_pltenter() is called regardless of the value of
+            framesizep but la_pltexit() is called only if la_pltenter()
+            returns with non-zero framesizep set.  I spent long time to
+            figure out why la_pltexit() is not called at all.
+
+signal.7
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Michael Hocko]
+        Note async-signal-safe functions added by POSIX.1-2008 TC1
+
+tcp.7
+    Daniel Borkmann  [Michael Kerrisk]
+        Improve paragraphs on tcp_ecn and add tcp_ecn_fallback bullet
+            Improve description of tcp_ecn, fix the RFC number and it's
+            not a boolean anymore since long time, and add a description
+            for tcp_ecn_fallback.
+
+            See also kernel doc under Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
+            on tcp_ecn and tcp_ecn_fallback.
+
+ld.so.8
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        LD_POINTER_GUARD has been removed in glibc 2.23
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe secure-execution mode
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Maria Guseva]
+        Replace mentions of set-UID/set-GID programs with secure-execution mode
+            Inspired by a patch from Maria Guseva.
+    Maria Guseva  [Silvan Jegen]
+        LD_DEBUG is effective in secure-execution mode if /etc/suid-debug exists
