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). - -cgroups.7 - Michael Kerrisk - The v2 freezer controller was added in Linux 5.2 - Michael Kerrisk - Split discussion of cgroups.events file and v2 release notification - In preparation for adding a description of the "frozen" key. - Michael Kerrisk - Describe the cgroup.events "frozen" key - Michael Kerrisk - Improve the discussion of the advantages of v2 release notification - -inotify.7 - Nick Shipp - Merge late perror() into fprintf() in example code - -netlink.7 - Antonin Décimo - Fix alignment issue in example - -packet.7 - kevin sztern [Michael Kerrisk] - Add missing tpacket_auxdata field (tp_vlan_tpid) - -rtnetlink.7 - Antonin Décimo - ifa_index is an unsigned int - -tcp.7 - Michael Kerrisk - tcp_low_latency is ignored since Linux 4.14 - -unix.7 - Michael Kerrisk - The PID sent with SCM_CREDENTIALS must match an existing process - -vsock.7 - Mikhail Golubev [Michael Kerrisk] - Add missing structure element - The structure 'struct sockaddr_vm' has additional element - 'unsigned char svm_zero[]' since version v3.9-rc1. - -ldconfig.8 - DJ Delorie - Document file filter and symlink pattern expectations |
