Michael Kerrisk ae6b221882 prctl.2: Rewrite the description of PR_SET_SECCOMP to defer to seccomp(2)
There is a lot of unnecessary duplication of content of the seccomp
material in prctl(2) and seccomp(2).  Trevor Woerner also noted that
there is an error in prctl(2), where it says that the filters
"are run in order until the first non-allow result is seen", which
contradicts the correct statement in seccomp(2) that *all* filters
are executed.

So, rewrite the seccomp material in prctl(2) to strip out most of
the content duplicated in seccomp(2), and replace the removed
text with statements deferring to to seccomp(2).

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Homepage
========
For information about the Linux man-pages project, see
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html.

Bug reports and contributing
============================
If you have corrections and additions to suggest, see
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/contributing.html
(Although there is a mirror of this repository on GitHub,
please don't report issues via the GitHub issue tracker!)

For further information on contributing, see the CONTRIBUTING file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/local/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr/local, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

To install only a specific man section (mandir) such as man3, use
"make install-man3".  Similar syntax can be used to uninstall a
specific man section, such as man7: "make uninstall-man7".

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Consider using multiple threads (at least 2) when installing
these man pages, as the Makefile is optimized for multiple threads:
"make -j install".
