It looks like most of the socket options from this man pages
are not defined in <netpacket/packet.h>. They are defined in
<linux/if_packet.h> so we should include that one.

+ Document CLONE_NEWUSER for creating a new user namespace
+
+setns.2
+ Eric W. Biederman, Michael Kerrisk
+ Document the PID, user, and mount namespace support
+ Document CLONE_NEWPID, CLONE_NEWUSER, and CLONE_NEWNS flags.
+
+unshare.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Eric W. Biederman]
+ Document CLONE_NEWPID
+ Michael Kerrisk [Eric W. Biederman]

+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+clone.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Move some CLONE_NEWNET text to namespaces.7
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Move some CLONE_NEWUTS text 2 to namespaces.7
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Move some CLONE_NEWIPC text to namespaces.7
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Reword discussion of CLONE_NEWNS, removing text also in namespaces(7)
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Standardize text on CLONE_NEW* flags and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ EINVAL if (CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWPID) && (CLONE_THREAD|CLONE_PARENT)
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add more detail on the meaning of CLONE_SYSVSEM
+
+flock.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [J. Bruce Fields]
+ Don't mention "classical BSD" in discussion of fcntl()/flock interaction
+ The noninteraction of flock(2) and fcntl(2) locks does
+ not seem to be classical BSD semantics (at least, checking
+ the 4.4BSD sources suggest that the lock types do interact,
+ although there have been other systems also where fcntl()
+ and flock() locks do not interact). So, fix the text
+ discussing "classical BSD" lock semantics.
+
+getunwind.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Yuri Kozlov]
+ Fix description of return value
+ s/size of unwind table/size of the unwind data/
+
+mount.2
+ Eric W. Biederman
+ Clarify use of 'mountflags' and 'data' for MS_REMOUNT

+
+seteuid.2

+setresuid.2
+setreuid.2
+setuid.2

+ EINVAL can occur if UID/GID is not valid in caller's user namespace
+
+setns.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Eric W. Biederman]
+ Clarify capabilities required for reassociating with a mount namespace
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Specify kernel version on each CLONE_NEW* flag
+ And remove text on flags from VERSIONS.
+
+unshare.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add an example program
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify semantics of CLONE_SYSVSEM
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ CLONE_SYSVSEM does not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Note flags implied by CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_VM
+
+clock.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Vincent Lefevre]
+ The implementation uses clock_gettime() was to improve *accuracy*
+ (The man page text mistakenly used the word "precision".)
+
+drand48.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Lorenzo Beretta]
+ Remove crufty text about SVID 3 marking drand48() obsolete
