+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+clone.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Rewrite crufty text about number of args in older version of clone()
+                Some bit rot had crept in regarding the discussion of the
+                number of arguments in older versions of this syscall.
+                Simplify the text to just say that Linux 2.4 and earlier
+                didn't have ptid, tls, and ctid arguments.
+
+                See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533868
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix version number for CLONE_NEWIPC
+            It's 2.6.19, not 2.4.19.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix errors in argument names in text (ptid, ctd)
+
+execve.2
+    Mike Frysinger
+        Remove erroneous statement that pending signal set is cleared
+        on execve(2).
+
+fcntl.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        The kernel source file mandatory.txt is now mandatory-locking.txt
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        The Documentation/* files are now in Documentation/filesystems
+
+flock.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove unneeded reference to Documentation/mandatory.txt
+            Mandatory locks are only implemented by fcntl() locking
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        The Documentation/* files are now in Documentation/filesystems
+
+fork.2
+    Jeff Moyer
+        Document fork() behaviour for the Linux native AIO io_context
+            It was noted on lkml that the fork behaviour is documented
+            for the POSIX AIO calls, but not for the Linux native calls.
+            Here is a patch which adds a small blurb that folks will
+            hopefully find useful.
+
+            Upon fork(), the child process does not inherit the
+            io_context_t data structures returned by io_setup,
+            and thus cannot submit further asynchronous I/O or
+            reap event completions for said contexts.
+
+getdents.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        The d_type field is fully supported on Btrfs
+
+mount.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Document MS_STRICTATIME, update description of MS_RELATIME
+            Starting with Linux 2.6.30, the MS_RELATIME behavior became
+            the default, and MS_STRICTATIME is required to obtain the
+            traditional semantics.
+
+poll.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove EBADF error from ERRORS
+            As reported by Motohiro:
+
+            "man poll" describe this error code.
+
+            >ERRORS
+            > EBADF  An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets.
+
+            but current kernel implementation ignore invalid file descriptor,
+            not return EBADF.
+            ...
+
+            In the other hand, SUSv3 talk about
+
+            > POLLNVAL
+            >  The specified fd value is invalid. This flag is only valid in the
+            >  revents member; it shall ignored in the events member.
+
+            and
+
+            > If the value of fd is less than 0, events shall be ignored, and
+            > ireevents shall be set to 0 in that entry on return from poll().
+
+            but, no desribe EBADF.
+            (see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html)
+
+            So, I think the implementation is correct.
+
+            Why don't we remove EBADF description?
+
+sigaction.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        EWxpand description of si_utime and si_stime fields of siginfo_t
+
+stat.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Improve wording of ENOTDIR error
+
+syscalls.2
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Ad preadv() and pwritev(), new in kernel 2.6.30
+
+wait.2
+    Gokdeniz Karadag
+        Document CLD_DUMPED and CLD_TRAPPED si_code values
+
+daemon.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify discussion of 'noclose' and 'nochdir' arguments
+
+ffs.3
+    Petr Baudis
+        SEE ALSO: add memchr(3)
+
+fmemopen.3
+    Petr Baudis
+        Relocate BUGS section to correct position
+    Petr Baudis
+        NOTES: there is no file descriptor associated with the returned stream
+            Alexander Lamaison pointed out that this is not obvious
+            from the documentation, citing an example with passing the
+            FILE * handle to a function that tries to fstat() its
+            fileno() in order to determine the buffer size.
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        CONFORMING TO: remove note that these functions are GNU extensions
+            That sentence is now redundant, since these functions
+            are added in POSIX.1-2008.
+
+lockf.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Clarify relationship between fcntl() and lockf() locking
+
+memchr.3
+    Petr Baudis
+        SEE ALSO: add ffs(3)
+
+readdir.3
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        The d_type field is fully supported on Btrfs
+
+setjmp.3
+    Mike Frysinger
+        Fix typo and clarify RETURN description
+            The word "signal" was duplicated in NOTES, and the RETURN
+            section refers to setjmp() and sigsetjmp(), and mentions
+            longjmp(), but not siglongjmp().
+
+strcmp.3
+    Petr Baudis
+        SEE ALSO: add strverscmp(3)
+
+strcpy.3
+    Mark Hills
+        SEE ALSO: Add strdup(3)
+
+complex.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Add missing header file for example program
+    Reimar Döffinger
+        Fix type used in example code
+        man complex (from release 3.18) contains the following code:
+            complex z = cexp(I * pi);
+        Reading the C99 standard, "complex" is not a valid type,
+        and several compilers (Intel ICC, ARM RVCT) will refuse to compile.
+        It should be
+            double complex z = cexp(I * pi); instead.
+
+environ.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that last element in environ array is NULL
+            See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528628
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Wording fixes
+
+mq_overview.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Note that mkdir and mount commands here need superuser privilege
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Fix example showing contents of /dev/mqueue file
+
+standards.7
+    Michael Kerrisk
+        Remove references to dated books
+            Gallmeister and Lewine are rather old books. Probably,
+            there are better books to consult nowadays, and anyway,
+            this man page isn't intended to be a bibliography.
