==================== Changes in man-pages-3.52 ====================
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------
perf_event_open.2
Vince Weaver
Add PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP documentation
The perf_event_open() ENABLE/DISABLE/RESET ioctls can take an
argument, PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP. This wasn't documented at all
until about a year ago (despite the support being there from
the beginning) so I missed this when initially writing
the man page.
socket.7
Pavel Emelyanov, Michael Kerrisk
Document SO_PEEK_OFF option
Since Linux 3.4 there appeared an ability to specify the
offset in bytes from which the data will be MSG_PEEK-ed.
Describe this socket option in the socket(7) page, where
all the other socket options are described.
Global changes
--------------
Various pages
Peng Haitao
ATTRIBUTES: Note functions that are thread-safe or thread-unsafe
Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
perf_event_open.2
Vince Weaver
Clarify the perf_event_open() wakeup_events/wakeup_watermark fields
Clarify the perf_event_open() wakeup_events/wakeup_watermark
fields a bit, based on info from kernel commit cfeb1d90a1b1.
Vince Weaver
Update to match the Linux 3.10 release
This patch updates the perf_event_open() documentation to include
new interfaces added in the 3.10 kernel.
It also documents a few [To be documented] instances left over
from the 3.7 kernel.
Vince Weaver
Small correction to description of 'flags' argument
alloca.3
Adrian Bunk
Correct information on getting non-inlined version with gcc+glibc
- remove the incorrect information that -fno-builtin would help
- add -std=c11 to the list of strict options
- emphasize more that both the gcc option and not including
alloca.h are needed
- add the #ifdef from the glibc alloca.h to make the situation
clearer
pthread_attr_setschedparam.3
pthread_attr_setschedpolicy.3
pthread_attr_setscope.3
Michael Kerrisk [Manuel Traut, Siddhesh Poyarekar]
The inherit-scheduler attribute must be set to PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED
In order for the attributes set by these functions to have
an effect, the caller must use pthread_attr_setinheritsched(3)
to set the inherit-scheduler attribute of the attributes object
to PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED.
proc.5
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc/[pid]/fd/ anon_inode symlinks
Mike Frysinger
Document /proc/[pid]/fd/ symlinks a bit more
Describe the type:[inode] syntax used in this dir
bootparam.7
Michael Kerrisk [Dan Jacobson]
Remove outdated text on LILO and LoadLin
Strike the discussion of LILO and LoadLin, which
are long obsolete, and make a brief mention of GRUB.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604019
