+
+New and rewritten pages
+-----------------------
+
+getcpu.2
+ Andi Kleen, with some text and edits by mtk
+ Documents the getcpu(2) system call, introduced in Linux 2.6.19.
+
+sched_getcpu.3
+ mtk
+ Documents sched_getcpu(3), a wrapper for getcpu(2), provided
+ since glibc 2.6.
+
+cpuset.7
+ Paul Jackson, with review and editing by mtk, and comments by
+ Hidetoshi Seto and Li Zefan
+ A description of the cpuset file system, the mechanism introduced
+ kernel 2.6.12 for confining processes to designated processors
+ and nodes. (Becomes the fourth largest page in man-pages!)
+
+
+Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
+---------------------------------------------
+
+readdir.3
+ mtk
+ Add documentation of readdir_r().
+
+
+New links
+---------
+
+updwtmpx.3
+ Alain Portal

+
+readdir_r.3
+ mtk
+ Link to readdir.3.

+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+accept.2
+ mtk
+ Small wording change.
+
+io_getevents.2
+ mtk
+ ERRORS: Add EINTR error.
+
+open.2
+ mtk
+ ERRORS: Add EINTR error.
+
+sigaction.2
+ mtk
+ Note circumstances in which each SA_* flag is meaningful.
+ mtk
+ Describe POSIX specification, and Linux semantics for
+ SA_NOCLDWAIT when establishing a handler for SIGCHLD.
+ mtk
+ Add pointer under SA_RESTART to new text in signal(7)
+ describing system call restarting.
+ mtk
+ Other minor edits.
+
+truncate.2
+ mtk
+ ERRORS: Added EINTR error.
+ A few minor rewordings.
+
+wait.2
+ mtk
+ Remove statement that WUNTRACED and WCONTINUED only have effect
+ if SA_NOCLDSTOP has not been set for SIGCHLD. That's not true.
+
+errno.3
+ mtk
+ Add a pointer to signal(7) for further explanation of EINTR.
+
+getgrouplist.3
+ mtk
+ SEE ALSO: Add passwd(5).
+
+readdir.3
+ mtk
+ Remove <sys/types.h> from SYNOPSIS; POSIX.1-2001 does not
+ require it.
+ Some minor rewordings.
+
+sleep.3
+ mtk
+ RETURN VALUE: explicitly mention interruption by signal handler.
+ SEE ALSO: add signal(7).
+
+usleep.3
+ mtk
+ POSIX.1-2001 also does not document EINVAL.
+
+group.5
+ mtk

+passwd.5
+ mtk
+ SEE ALSO: Add getpwent(3), getpwnam(3).
+
+proc.5
+ mtk
+ Add pointer to description of /proc/PID/cpuset in cpuset(7).
+
+signal.7
+ mtk
+ Add a section describing system call restarting, and noting
+ which system calls are affected by SA_RESTART, and which
+ system calls are never restarted.
+ mtk
+ Describe the aberrant Linux behavior whereby a stop signal
+ plus SIGCONT can interrupt some system calls, even if no
+ signal handler has been established, and note the system
+ calls that behave this way.
+ mtk
+ Note a few more architectures on which signal numbers are valid.
+ SEE ALSO: added a number of pages.
+ mtk
+ Update async-signal-safe function list for POSIX.1-2004 (which
+ adds sockatmark()).
