New and rewritten pages
-----------------------

pkey_alloc.2
    Dave Hansen  [Michael Kerrisk]
        New page documenting pkey_alloc(2) and pkey_free(2)

pthread_getattr_default_np.3
    Michael Kerrisk
        New page documenting pthread_getattr_default_np(3) and pthread_setattr_default_np(3)

strfromd.3
    Wainer dos Santos Moschetta
        New page documenting strfromd(3), strfromf(3), and strfroml(3)
            The ISO/IEC TS 18661-1 specifies the strfrom() class
            of functions that convert a float-point value to string.

fuse.4
    Keno Fischer  [Michael Kerrisk]
        New page describing /dev/fuse
            This is my writeup of a basic description of /dev/fuse after
            playing with it for a few hours today. It is of course woefully
            incomplete, and since I neither have a use case nor am working
            on this code, I will not be in a position to expand it in the
            near future. However, I'm hoping this could still serve as a
            handy reference for others looking at this interface.

            [mtk: Notwithstanding the incompleteness of this page,
            it's a good base for future extension.]

tmpfs.5
    Michael Kerrisk
        New page documenting the tmpfs filesystem

    Michael Kerrisk  [Theodore Ts'o, Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos, Laurent Georget]
        New page providing an overview of interfaces for obtaining randomness
            Contains material extracted from getrandom(2) and random(4),
            as well as new material.

sock_diag.7
    Pavel Emelyanov, Dmitry V. Levin
        New page documenting NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG interface

close.2
getpriority.2
nice.2
timer_create.2

    Eugene Syromyatnikov
        Document PR_SET_FP_MODE and PR_GET_FP_MODE

perf_event_open.2
    Vince Weaver
        PERF_RECORD_SWITCH support
            Linux 4.3 introduced two new record types for recording context
            switches: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH and PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE.
    Vince Weaver
        Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL branch sample type
    Vince Weaver
        PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP branch_sample_type
            Linux 4.2 added a new branch_sample_type: PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_IND_JUMP
    Vince Weaver
        Document PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIMEOUT
    Vince Weaver
        Document sample_max_stack and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
            Linux 4.8 added a new sample_max_stack parameter, as well as
            /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack which limits it and a new
            EOVERFLOW error return.
    Dave Hansen
        PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES record type
            Linux 4.2 added a new record type: PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES
            It is generated when hardware samples (currently only Intel PEBS)
            are lost.

sched.7
    Michael Kerrisk  [Mike Galbraith]
        Document the autogroup feature
            Includes documenting autogroup nice value
    Michael Kerrisk
        Autogrouping breaks traditional semantics of nice in many cases
            When autogrouping is enabled (the default in many distros)
            there are many traditional use cases where the nice value
            ceases to have any effect.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add a subsection on nice value and group scheduling

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

accept.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Remove editorializing comments about 'socklen_t'
    Michael Kerrisk
        Simplify the discussion of 'socklen_t'
            We don't really need to list the old OSes in this discussion.

clock_getres.2
gettimeofday.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add hwclock(8)

bind.2

getsockopt.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Replace discussion of 'socklen_t' with reference to accept(2)
            The discussion of 'socklen_t' editorializes and is repeated
            across several pages. Replace it with a reference to accept(2),
            where some details about this type are provided.

chmod.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add chmod(1)

chown.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add chgrp(1) and chown(1)

chroot.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add chroot(1)

clone.2

        The CLONE_*_SETTID operations store TID before return to user space
            CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and CLONE_CHILD_SETTID store the new
            TID before clone() returns to user space

close.2
    Michael Kerrisk  [Daniel Wagner]
        Rework and greatly extend discussion of error handling
            Further clarify that an error return should be used only
            for diagnostic or remedial purposes.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Other UNIX implementations also close the FD, even if reporting an error
            Looking at some historical source code suggests
            that the "close() always closes regardless of error return"
            behavior has a long history, predating even POSIX.1-1990.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Note that future POSIX plans to require that the FD is closed on error
            See http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=529#c1200.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify the variation in EINTR behavior per POSIX and other systems

fallocate.2
    Darrick J. Wong
        Document behavior with shared blocks
            Note that FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE may use CoW to unshare blocks to
            guarantee that a disk write won't fail with ENOSPC.

fanotify_mark.2
    Heinrich Schuchardt
        Mention FAN_Q_OVERFLOW
            To receive overflow events it is necessary to set this bit
            in fanotify_mark().

fcntl.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        F_GETPIPE_SZ allocates next power-of-2 multiple of requested size
            Add some detail about current implementation, since this helps
            the user understand the effect of the user pipe limits added in
            Linux 4.5 (described in pipe(7)).
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add EPERM that occurs for F_SETPIPE_SZ when user pipe limit is reached

fideduperange.2
    Darrick J. Wong  [Omar Sandoval]
        Fix the discussion of maximum sizes
            Fix the discussion of the limitations on the dest_count and
            src_length parameters to the fideduperange ioctl() to reflect
            what's actually in the kernel.

fsync.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add fileno(3)
            fileno(3) is useful if one is combining fflush(3)/fclose(3)
            and fsync(2).
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add fflush(3)

getgroups.2

gethostname.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add hostname(1)

get_mempolicy.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Note that 'addr' must be NULL when 'flags' is 0

getpriority.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Warn that autogrouping voids the effect of 'nice' in many cases
            Refer the reader to sched(7) for the details.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Expand discussion of getpriority() return value
    Michael Kerrisk
        The nice value supplied to setpriority() is clamped
            Note that the nice value supplied to setpriority() is clamped
            to the permitted range.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Improve description of setpriority() return value

getpriority.2
sched.7
    Michael Kerrisk
        Move nice value details from getpriority(2) to sched(7)
            Centralizing these details in sched(7) is more logical.

getrandom.2
random.4
    Michael Kerrisk
        Consolidate and improve discussion on usage of randomness
            Currently, recommendations on how to consume randomness are
            spread across both getrandom(2) and random(4) and the general
            opinion seems to be that the text in getrandom(2) does a
            somewhat better job. Consolidate the discussion to a single
            page (getrandom(2)) and address some of the concerns
            expressed about the existing text in random(4).
            [Some of this text ultimately made its way into the new
            random(7) page.]

getrandom.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Remove material incorporated into random(7)
    Michael Kerrisk
        Note advantages of fact that getrandom() doesn't use file descriptors
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify that getrandom() is not "reading" from /dev/{random,urandom}

getrlimit.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        Refer to sched(7) in discussion of RLIMIT_RTPRIO and RLIMIT_RTTIME
    Michael Kerrisk
        Describe the range of the RLIMIT_NICE limit
    Michael Kerrisk
        Refer to sched(7) in the discussion of RLIMIT_NICE
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add credentials(7)

ioctl_ficlonerange.2
ioctl_fideduperange.2
    Darrick J. Wong
        Clarify the behavior of the FIDEDUPERANGE ioctl

kill.2
    Michael Kerrisk
        SEE ALSO: add kill(1)

mbind.2
    Michael Kerrisk  [Christoph Lameter]
        Memory policy is a per-thread attribute, not a per-process attribute

    Michael Kerrisk
        CONFORMING TO: Remove an ancient SVr4 detail on errno values
    Michael Kerrisk
        Rework discussion of nice() return value and standards conformance
            Make the text a little clearer. In particular, clarify that the
            raw system call (still) returns 0 on success.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify the range of the nice value, and note that it is clamped
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add mention of RLIMIT_NICE
    Michael Kerrisk
        Move discussion of handling the -1 success return to RETURN VALUE
            This detail was rather hidden in NOTES. Also, rework the text
            a little.
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify that nice() changes the nice value of the calling *thread*
    Michael Kerrisk
        Add "C library/kernel differences" subsection heading
    Michael Kerrisk

        Rework formatting of /proc interfaces
            Make the information easier to parse by formatting the file
            descriptions as hanging lists. No significant content changes.
    Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos  [Laurent Georget]
        Provide a more accurate description of /dev/urandom
            This documents the "property" of /dev/urandom of being able to
            serve numbers prior to pool being initialized, and removes any
            suggested usages of /dev/random which are disputable
            (i.e., one-time pad).  Document the fact /dev/random is only
            suitable for applications which can afford indeterminate delays
            since very few applications can do so.  Smooth the alarming
            language about a theoretical attack, and mention that its
            security depends on the cryptographic primitives used by the
            kernel, as well as the total entropy gathered.
    Michael Kerrisk  [Laurent Georget, Theodore Ts'o]
        Improve discussion of /dev/urandom, blocking reads, and signals
            The text currently states that O_NONBLOCK has no effect for
            /dev/urandom, which is true.  It also says that reads from
            /dev/urandom are nonblocking.  This is at the least confusing.
            If one attempts large reads (say 10MB) from /dev/urandom
            there is an appreciable delay, and interruption by a signal
            handler will result in a short read. Amend the text to
            reflect this.

elf.5
    Mike Frysinger
        Add subsection headers at major points
            The current pages dumps all the content into one big DESCRIPTION
            with no real visual break up between logically independent
            sections.  Add some subsection headers to make it easier to
            read and scan.
    Mike Frysinger
        Document notes
            Document the Elf{32,64}_Nhdr structure, the sections/segments that
            contain notes, and how to interpret them.  I've been lazy and only
            included the GNU extensions here, especially as others are not
            defined in the elf.h header file as shipped by glibc.
