+
+malloc_usable_size.3
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ New man page for malloc_usable_size(3)
+
+
+Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
+---------------------------------------------
+
+prctl.2
+ Cyrill Gorcunov
+ Document PR_SET_MM (new in Linux 3.3)
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Various edits and improvements to Cyrill's patch
+
+
+Changes to individual pages
+---------------------------
+
+epoll_create.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Rework discussion of 'size' argument
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Add .SS for description of epoll_create1()
+
+epoll_wait.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Armin Rigo]
+ Another thread can add to epoll instance while epoll_wait is blocked
+ See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43072
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify that epoll_pwait() blocks calling *thread*
+ A few wording improvements
+
+fchmodat.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Mike Frysinger]
+ Note difference between glibc wrapper and underlying system call
+ The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently
+ serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not.
+
+fcntl.2
+ Abhijith Das
+ Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break
+ Michael Kerrisk [Eric Blake]
+ Change type of arg from "long" to "int"
+ Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
+ The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
+ However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
+ explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".
+ Update the man page to reflect. Probably, all of the
+ other "long" cases (not specified in POSIX) should
+ be "int", and this patch makes them so. Based on a
+ note fromEric Blake, relating to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.
+
+gettimeofday.2
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Reorganize content
+ The main change is to move the historical information about
+ the 'tz_dsttime' to NOTES.
+ Michael Kerrisk [Felix]
+ Note that compiler issues warnings if 'tv' is NULL
+
+mmap.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Kevin O'Gorman]
+ Clarify that this system call should not be invoked directly
+ See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42892
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Clarify NOTES discussion of mmap() versus mmap2()
+
+poll.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Michael Welsh Duggan]
+ Document negative value in 'fd' field
+ Michael Kerrisk
+ Document semantics of passing zero in 'events' field
+
+ptrace.2
+ Denys Vlasenko
+ Various fixes
+ For some reason, the PTRACE_TRACEME paragraph talks about some
+ general aspects of ptraced process behavior. It repeats the
+ "tracee stops on every signal" information even though that was
+ already explained just a few paragraphs before. Then it describes
+ legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
+
+ This patch deletes the first part, and moves the second part up,
+ into the general ptrace description. It also adds
+ "If PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC option is not in effect" to the description
+ of the legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
+
+ The patch also amends the part which says "For requests other
+ than PTRACE_KILL, the tracee must be stopped." - PTRACE_ATTACH
+ also doesn't require that.
+
+sigaction.2
+ Michael Kerrisk [Andreas Jaeger, ]
+ Clarify that the use of SI_SIGIO is for Linux 2.2 only
+ See also http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6745

+ Michael Kerrisk
+ glibc eventually added a declaration of iruserok() in version 2.12
+
+sysconf.3
+ Michael Kerrisk [Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez]
+ Add mention of _SC_SYMLOOP_MAX
+
+nologin.5
+ Michael Kerrisk [Tetsuo Handa]
+ nologin must not only exist, but *be readable* to be effective
+
+nsswitch.conf.5
+ Mark R Bannister
+ Significant rewrites and improvements
+ This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36.
+
+ My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the
+ man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar,
+ reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc.
+ I have checked the man page against the nss source code in
+ glibc 2.14.90.
+
+ Historical notes are demoted to the footer.
+
+ The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to
+ understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.
