+
+New and rewritten pages
+-----------------------
+
+posix_madvise.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        New page documenting posix_madvise(3)
+
+ftw.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Reorganize the page to give primacy to nftw()
+            nftw() is the better API, and POSIX.1-2008 marks ftw() obsolete.
+
+Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
+---------------------------------------------
+
+getdents.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document getdents64()
+
+mount.2
+    Michael Kerrisk, Theodore Ts'o  [Eric Sandeen, Andreas Dilger,
+    Omar Sandoval, Darrick J. Wong]
+        Document MS_LAZYTIME
+            Based on Ted T'so's commit message 0ae45f63d4e
+
+proc.5
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document /proc/PID/fdinfo epoll format
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe /proc/PID/fdinfo eventfd format
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document /proc/PID/fdinfo signalfd format
+
+
+New and changed links
+---------------------
+
+newfstatat.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        New link to fstatat64.2
+
+prlimit64.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        New link to getrlimit.2
+
+
+Global changes
+--------------
+
+Various secion 3 math pages
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that these functions are also in POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008
+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+getent.1
+    Robin H. Johnson
+        Document options
+            The options to getent are now documented, after being around for
+            nearly a decade without changes.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document help and version options
+
+fallocate.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix kernel version number for FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
+            FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE as added in 3.15, not 3.14.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that SMB3 added FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE support in Linux 3.17
+
+getdents.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Dima Tisnek]
+        Update timestamp
+            Really just a marker to record the reporters of bugs
+            that stemmed from the fact that the page did not
+            document getdents64(). I'll fix things up in the changelog.
+
+            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14795
+
+getrlimit.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that the underlying system call for prlimit() is prlimit64()
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64" from prlimit() FTM requirements
+            "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64" is not needed to get the prlimit()
+            declaration.
+
+ioctl_list.2
+    Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos
+        SIOCADDRT accepts in6_rtmsg in INET6 protocol
+    Heinrich Schuchardt
+        TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS
+            timerfd_create.2 mentions TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS. We should add it to
+            ioctl_list.2, too.
+
+llseek.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Advise reader to use lseek(2) instead
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        llseek() exists on 32-bit platforms to support seeking to large offsets
+
+madvise.2
+    David Rientjes
+        Specify MADV_REMOVE returns EINVAL for hugetlbfs
+            madvise(2) actually returns with error EINVAL for MADV_REMOVE
+            when used for hugetlb VMAs, not EOPNOTSUPP, and this has been
+            the case since MADV_REMOVE was introduced in commit f6b3ec238d12
+            ("madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing
+            store"). Specify the exact behavior.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        SEE ALSO: add posix_madvise(2)
+
+poll.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Andreas Baak]
+        SEE ALSO: add epoll(7)
+
+posix_fadvise.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add "C library/kernel ABI differences" subsection
+
+pread.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add "C library/kernel ABI differences" subsection
+
+seccomp.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Pierre Chifflier, Kees Cook]
+        Note that seccomp_data is read-only
+
+stat.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add some details on various "stat" versions
+            Three versions of "stat" appeared on 32-bit systems,
+            dealing with structures of different (increasing) sizes.
+            Explain some of the details, and also note that the
+            situation is simpler on modern 64-bit architectures.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add a little more detail on history of three versions of *stat()
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add mention of newfstatat()
+            The underlying system call for fstatat() is newfstatat()
+            on some architectures.
+
+symlink.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Jonny Grant]
+        ERRORS: add linkpath=="" case for ENOENT
+
+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove prlimit()
+            There really is only the prlimit64() system call.
+            See also commit 7b08c45b7df.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add some details about the "multiple versions of system calls"
+            The multiple-system-call-version phenomenon is particular a
+            feature of older 32-bit platforms. Hint at that fact in the text.
+
+timerfd_create.2
+    Cyrill Gorcunov  [Michael Kerrisk]
+        Document TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS ioctl() operation
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add some details to C library/kernel ABI differences
+
+unshare.2
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Fabien Pichot]
+        Remove mention of "System V" from discussion of CLONE_NEWIPC
+            These days, CLONE_NEWIPC also affects POSIX message queues.

+        Correct prototype for execle()

+
+ftw.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Felix Sedlmeier]
+        ftw() and nftw() differ for the non-stat-able symlink case
+            The POSIX specification of ftw() says that an un-stat-able
+            symlink may yield either FTW_NS or FTW_SL. The specification
+            of nftw() does not carry this statement.

+
+qsort.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Rob Landley]
+        alphasort() and versionsort() are not suitable for 'compar'
+            In glibc 2.10, the prototypes of alphasort() and versionsort()
+            were changed so that the arguments switched from 'const void *' to
+            'const struct dirent **', to match the POSIX.1-2008 specification
+            of alphasort(). As such, compiler warnings will result if
+            these functions are used as the arguments of qsort().
+
+                warning: passing argument 4 of 'qsort' from incompatible
+                pointer type
+                expected '__compar_fn_t' but argument is of type
+                'int (*)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)'
+
+            Therefore, remove the ancient NOTES text suggesting that
+            alphasort() and versionsort() can be used as suitable
+            'compar' arguments for qsort().
+
+realpath.3
+    Michael Kerrisk  [Jon Grant]
+        Add ENOMEM error
+
+scandir.3
+    Michael Kerrisk

+proc.5
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Describe "mnt_id" field of /proc/PID/fdinfo
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that abstract sockets are included in /proc/net/unix
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Update description /proc/sys/unix 'Type' field
+            The existing text was very crufty. UNIX domain sockets
+            support more than SOCK_STREAM for a _very_ long time now.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add some detail to /proc/PID/timers
