Cheers, Michael ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.53 ==================== New and rewritten pages ----------------------- restart_syscall.2 Michael Kerrisk New page for restart_syscall(2) system call Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- fchownat.2 Michael Kerrisk Document AT_EMPTY_PATH fstatat.2 Michael Kerrisk Document AT_EMPTY_PATH linkat.2 Michael Kerrisk Document AT_EMPTY_PATH open.2 Michael Kerrisk [Al Viro] Document O_PATH See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885740 Changes to individual pages --------------------------- open.2 Michael Kerrisk [Geoffrey Thomas] Remove warning that O_DIRECTORY is only for use with opendir(3) O_DIRECTORY can also be used with, for example, O_PATH. perf_event_open.2 Vince Weaver Improve PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK documentation Vince Weaver Fix indentation of the MMAP layout section The indentation of the MMAP layout section wasn't quite right. I think this improves things but I admit I'm not an expert at the low-level indentation directives. Vince Weaver Update PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP info It turns out PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP was broken from 75f937f24bd9 (in Linux 2.6.31, the initial perf_event release) until 724b6daa1 (Linux 3.4). I've done some extensive kernel source code digging plus running tests of various kernels and I hope the info presented is accurate now. (Patch edited somewhat by mtk.) Vince Weaver Improve sysfs files documentation This improves the documentation of the various perf_event_open()-related sysfs files. ptrace.2 Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin] If SEIZE was used, initial auto-attach stop is EVENT_STOP For every PTRACE_O_TRACEfoo option, mention that old-style SIGSTOP is replaced by PTRACE_EVENT_STOP if PTRACE_SEIZE attach was used. Mention the same thing again in the description of PTRACE_EVENT_STOP. Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin] Mention that PTRACE_PEEK* libc API and kernel API are different Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin] Clarify PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN, and group-stop behavior readlink.2 Michael Kerrisk Document use of empty 'pathname' argument capabilities.7 Michael Kerrisk Add open_by_handle_at(2) under CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH ld.so.8 Michael Kerrisk Rework rpath token expansion text Michael Kerrisk Describe $PLATFORM rpath token Michael Kerrisk Describe $LIB rpath token Michael Kerrisk Document LD_BIND_NOT -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
