bdflush.2
|
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
|
Note that bdflush() is deprecated, and does nothing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nfsservctl.2
|
|
|
|
|
Michael Kerrisk
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this system call was removed in Linux 3.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ptrace.2
|
|
|
|
|
Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Tejun Heo]
|
|
|
|
|
add extended description of various ptrace quirks
|
|
|
|
|
Changes include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
|
|
|
|
|
is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
|
|
|
|
|
as parent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deleted several outright false statements:
|
|
|
|
|
- pid 1 can be traced
|
|
|
|
|
- tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
|
|
|
|
|
- PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
|
|
|
|
|
a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
|
|
|
|
|
- SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
|
|
|
|
|
- Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
|
|
|
|
|
- Added a few more known bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
|
|
|
|
|
on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
|
|
|
|
|
tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
|
|
|
|
|
a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not
|
|
|
|
|
spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its
|
|
|
|
|
quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by
|
|
|
|
|
Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo.
|
|
|
|
|
This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible,
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make.

|
Global clean-up of page
|
|
|
|
|
* Wording and formatting fixes to existing text and
|
|
|
|
|
Denys Vlasenko's new text.
|
|
|
|
|
* Various technical amendments and improvements to
|
|
|
|
|
Denys Vlasenko's new text.
|
|
|
|
|
* Added FIXME for various problems with the current text.
