 Changes to individual pages
 ---------------------------
 
-dup.2
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Rewrite the description of dup() somewhat
-            As can be seen by any number of StackOverflow questions, people
-            persistently misunderstand what dup() does, and the existing manual
-            page text, which talks of "copying" a file descriptor doesn't help.
-            Rewrite the text a little to try to prevent some of these
-            misunderstandings, in particular noting at the start that dup()
-            allocates a new file descriptor.
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Clarify what silent closing means
-    Alejandro Colomar
-        SYNOPSIS: Use consistent comments through pages

-flock.2
-    Aurelien Aptel  [Alejandro Colomar]
-        Add CIFS details
-            CIFS flock() locks behave differently than the standard.
-            Give an overview of those differences.
-
-ioperm.2
-    Alejandro Colomar
-        Remove obvious comment
-
-memfd_create.2
-mmap.2
-shmget.2
-    Michael Kerrisk  [Yang Xu]
-        Document the EPERM error for huge page allocations
-            This error can occur if the caller is does not have CAP_IPC_LOCK
-            and is not a member of the sysctl_hugetlb_shm_group.
-
-mmap.2
-    Bruce Merry
-        Clarify that MAP_POPULATE is best-effort
-
-mount.2

-        Document SELinux use of MS_NOSUID mount flag
-
-open.2
-    Alejandro Colomar  [Walter Harms]
-        Fix bug in linkat(2) call example
-            AT_EMPTY_PATH works with empty strings (""), but not with NULL
-            (or at least it's not obvious).
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Make it clearer that an FD is an index into the process's FD table
-            Sometimes people are confused, thinking a file descriptor is just a
-            number....
-
-perfmonctl.2
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        This system call was removed in Linux 5.10
-

-
-ptrace.2
-    Dmitry V. Levin  [Alejandro Colomar, Mathieu Desnoyers]
-        Mention PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO in RETURN VALUE section
-
-seccomp.2
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Reorder list of SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER flags alphabetically
-            (No content changes.)
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        SEE ALSO: add seccomp_unotify(2)
-
-select.2
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Strengthen the warning regarding the low value of FD_SETSIZE
-            All modern code should avoid select(2) in favor of poll(2)

-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Relocate sentence about the fd_set value-result arguments to BUGS
-
-syscalls.2
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        perfmonctl(2) was removed in Linux 5.10
-
-bswap.3
-    Alejandro Colomar
-        bswap_*() are implemented using functions
-            Even though it's true that they are macros,
-            it's transparent to the user.
-
-            The user will see their results casted to unsigned types
-            after the conversion due to the underlying functions,
-            so it's better to document these as the underlying functions,
-            specifying the types.
-
-cmsg.3
-unix.7
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Refer to seccomp_unotify(2) for an example of SCM_RIGHTS usage

-
-exec.3
-    Josh Triplett  [Alejandro Colomar]
-        Clarify that execvpe() uses PATH from the caller, not envp
-    Josh Triplett  [Alejandro Colomar]
-        Fix description of 'e' variants
-            The envp argument specifies the environment of the new process
-            image, not "the environment of the caller".
-
-fflush.3
-    Alejandro Colomar
-        SEE ALSO: Add fpurge(3)
-
-getline.3
-    наб  [Ahelenia Ziemiańska, Alejandro Colomar]

-            No implementation or spec requires *n to be 0 to allocate
-            a new buffer.

-kernel_lockdown.7
-    dann frazier  [Alejandro Colomar]

-            The patch that implemented lockdown lifting via SysRq ended up
-            getting dropped[*] before the feature was merged upstream. Having
-            the feature documented but unsupported has caused some confusion
-            for our users.
-
-mount_namespaces.7
-namespaces.7
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Relocate reference to pam_namespace(8) from namespaces.7 to
-        mount_namespaces.7.
-
-signal.7
-    Michael Kerrisk
-        Add reference to seccomp_unotify(2)
-            The seccomp user-space notification feature can cause changes in
-            the semantics of SA_RESTART with respect to system calls that
-            would never normally be restarted. Point the reader to the page
-            that provide further details.
-
-vsock.7
-    Alyssa Ross
-        ioctls are on /dev/vsock, not sockets
