+Global changes
+--------------
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
-capget.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Yang Xu]
- Add missing details in EPERM error for setting inheritable capabilities
-
-clone.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that CLONE_THREAD causes similar behavior to CLONE_PARENT
- The introductory paragraphs note that "the calling process" is
- normally synonymous with the "the parent process", except in the
- case of CLONE_PARENT. The same is also true of CLONE_THREAD.
- Christian Brauner [Michael Kerrisk]
- Mention that CLONE_PARENT is off-limits for inits
- Michael Kerrisk [Colin Ian King]
- Add old EINVAL error for AArch64
- Michael Kerrisk
- ERRORS: add EINVAL for use of CLONE_PARENT by an init process
-
-futex.2
- Ponnuvel Palaniyappan
- Fix a bug in the example
-
-listen.2
- Michael Kerrisk [Peter Gajdos]
- The 'somaxconn' default value has increased to 4096
-
-modify_ldt.2
-set_thread_area.2
- Andy Lutomirski [Markus T Metzger]
- Fix type of base_addr
-
-move_pages.2
- John Hubbard [Michal Hocko]
- Remove ENOENT from the list of possible return values
-
-open.2
- Adam Borowski
- No need for /proc to make an O_TMPFILE file permanent
- In the example snippet, we already have the fd, thus there's no
- need to refer to the file by name. And, /proc/ might be not
- mounted or not accessible.
- Michael Kerrisk [Joseph C. Sible]
- In O_TMPFILE example, describe alternative linkat() call
- This was already shown in an earlier version of the page,
- but Adam Borowski's patch replaced it with an alternative.
- Probably, it is better to show both possibilities.
-
-perf_event_open.2
- Daniel Colascione
- Mention EINTR for perf_event_open
-
-ptrace.2
- Denys Vlasenko
- PTRACE_EVENT_STOP does not always report SIGTRAP
-
-quotactl.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Don't show numeric values of Q_XQUOTAON XFS_QUOTA_?DQ_* flags
- The programmer should not need to care about the numeric values,
- and their inclusion is verbosity.
- Yang Xu [Michael Kerrisk]
- Add EINVAL error of Q_XQUOTARM operation
-
-stime.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that stime() is deprecated
-
-syscall.2
- Petr Vorel [Cyril Hrubis]
- Update feature test macro requirements
-
-sysctl.2
- Michael Kerrisk
- This system call was removed in Linux 5.5; adjust the page accordingly
-
-userfaultfd.2
- Yang Xu [Michael Kerrisk]
- Add EPERM error
-
-cmsg.3
- Rich Felker
- Clarify alignment issues and correct method of accessing CMSG_DATA()
- From an email by Rich Felker:
-
- It came to my attention while reviewing possible breakage with
- move to 64-bit time_t that some applications are dereferencing
- data in socket control messages (particularly SCM_TIMESTAMP*)
- in-place as the message type, rather than memcpy'ing it to
- appropriate storage. This necessarily does not work and is not
- supportable if the message contains data with greater alignment
- requirement than the header. In particular, on 32-bit archs,
- cmsghdr has size 12 and alignment 4, but struct timeval and
- timespec may have alignment requirement 8.
- Michael Kerrisk [Rich Felker]
- Modify CMSG_DATA() example to use memcpy()
- See previous patch to this page for rationale
-
-exit.3
- Benjamin Peterson [Mike Frysinger]
- Use hex for the status mask
-
-ftime.3
- Michael Kerrisk
- Note that this function is deprecated
-
-getpt.3
- Samuel Thibault
- Remove mention of O_NOCTTY
- The glibc implementation of getpt has actually never been setting
-
-malloc.3
- Vegard Nossum
- Clarify realloc() return value
- Petr Vorel
- Remove duplicate _GNU_SOURCE
-
-console_codes.4
- Adam Borowski
- Document \e[90m to 97, 100 to 107
- Adam Borowski
- \e[21m is now underline
- Since 65d9982d7e523a1a8e7c9af012da0d166f72fc56 (4.17), it follows
- xterm rather than common sense and consistency, being the only
- command 1..9 where N+20 doesn't undo what N did. As libvte
- 0.51.90 got changed the same way, this behaviour will probably
- stay.
- Adam Borowski
- Update \e[38m and \e[48m
- Supported since cec5b2a97a11ade56a701e83044d0a2a984c67b4 (3.16).
-
