and dropper.c, along with details specific to the new system call.

Changes to individual pages
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
adjtimex.2
|
||||
Laurent Georget [Richard Cochran, Jeff Epler]
|
||||
Clarify the 'ppm scaling' used in struct timex
|
||||
This patch makes explicit and clarifies the unit used for
|
||||
the fields "freq", "ppsfreq" and "stabil" in struct timex.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Masanari Iida]
|
||||
Note that TIME_ERROR is the modern synonym for TIME_BAD
|
||||
|
||||
perf_event_open.2
|
||||
Vince Weaver
|
||||
Clarify the PERF_FLAG_FD_* flags
|
||||
This change clarifies the behavior of the PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT and
|
||||
PERF_FLAG_FD_NO_GROUP flags to perf_event_open(), and removes
|
||||
the related FIXME comments.
|
||||
|
||||
While writing tests to validate the behavior of these flags I
|
||||
discovered that PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT has been broken since the
|
||||
2.6.35 kernel release.
|
||||
|
||||
prctl.2
|
||||
Dave Hansen [Michael Kerrisk]
|
||||
Add description of Intel MPX calls
|
||||
The 3.19 kernel will have support for Intel MPX, including
|
||||
a pair of new prctl() calls (PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT and
|
||||
PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT) for enabling and disabling the
|
||||
kernel's management of the "bounds tables". Add a
|
||||
descriptions of the interface.
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Add mention of seccomp(2) under PR_SET_SECCOMP
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Suggest /proc/PID/status "Seccomp" as alternative to PRCTL_GET_SECCOMP
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
SIGKILL can also occur PRCTL_GET_SECCOMP in SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER mode
|
||||
Kees Cook [Andy Lutomirski]
|
||||
Document SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER vs EFAULT
|
||||
This notes the distinction made between EINVAL and EFAULT when
|
||||
attempting to use SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER with PR_SET_SECCOMP.
|
||||
|
||||
setns.2
|
||||
pid_namespaces.7
|
||||
Mike Frysinger
|
||||
Elaborate discussion of the PID namespace descendant limitation
|
||||
The setns(2) man page already mentions that CLONE_NEWPID may only
|
||||
be used with descendant namespaces, but this nuance could be
|
||||
listed in a few more places so it is not missed.
|
||||
|
||||
shmget.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Akihiro Motoki]
|
||||
Make wording of SHMALL description a little clearer
|
||||
|
||||
sigaction.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Add siginfo_t fields for SECCOMP_RET_TRAP
|
||||
|
||||
memchr.3
|
||||
strstr.3
|
||||
Alexandre Bique
|
||||
Reference memmem(3) in SEE ALSO section
|
||||
|
||||
memcmp.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Michael Haardt]
|
||||
NOTES: add some detail on avoiding memcmp() of cryptographic data
|
||||
Wording largely based on comments from Michael Haardt.
|
||||
|
||||
pthread_tryjoin_np.3
|
||||
Jérôme Pouiller [Michael Kerrisk]
|
||||
Document EINVAL error for pthread_timedjoin_np()
|
||||
|
||||
mem.4
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
/dev/kmem depends on CONFIG_DEVKMEM
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Correct /dev/port group in example
|
||||
mem.4 mentions that group for /dev/port should be set to 'mem'
|
||||
However, all other files (/dev/mem and /dev/kmem) use the kmem
|
||||
group in their examples and on my system /dev/port belongs to
|
||||
kmem. Hence the 'mem' group was probably a typo:
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Add CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
|
||||
Since 2.6.26 the CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM options limits the
|
||||
physical addresses which can be accessed through /dev/mem.
|
||||
|
||||
random.4
|
||||
Heinrich Schuchardt
|
||||
Describe handling of O_NONBLOCK
|
||||
/dev/random and /dev/urandom treat O_NONBLOCK differently.
|
||||
This should be described in the manpage.
|
||||
Heinrich Schuchardt
|
||||
Mention PRNG used by urandom
|
||||
/dev/urandom uses a pseudo-random number generator to replace
|
||||
missing entropy.
|
||||
|
||||
proc.5
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Document "Seccomp" field of /proc/PID/status
|
||||
|
||||
epoll.7
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Ignat Loskutov]
|
||||
Use epoll_create1() rather than epoll_create() in the code example
|
||||
epoll_create1() is more or less the preferred API for new
|
||||
applications, since it allows for some flags and avoids the
|
||||
misdesigned epoll_create() argument, and so it seems sensible
|
||||
to use that in the example, rather than epoll_create().
|
||||
|
||||
tcp.7
|
||||
Troy Davis
|
||||
Clarify tcp_tw_recycle on Internet-facing hosts
|
||||
Clarify that tcp_tw_recycle will break communication with many
|
||||
general-purpose remote Internet hosts (namely, remote NAT devices)
|
||||
even when the Linux device itself is not behind NAT.
