|

New and rewritten pages
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
New and changed links
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Global changes
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Various pages
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Convert inline formatting (\fX...\fP) to dot-directive formatting
|
||||
|
||||
readdir.2
|
||||
asprintf.
|
||||
getline.3
|
||||
getlogin.3
|
||||
pthread_setname_np.3
|
||||
readdir.3
|
||||
strerror.3
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Jon Grant]
|
||||
Clarify that terminating null byte is '\0'
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to individual pages
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
execve.2
|
||||
Peter LaDow
|
||||
Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointers
|
||||
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a
|
||||
functional, but non-portable, use of execve(). For example:
|
||||
|
||||
char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL };
|
||||
execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL);
|
||||
|
||||
The call succeeds. Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly)
|
||||
pointed out that envp could be dereferenced. But digging into
|
||||
glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL
|
||||
is treated as if it were an empty list.
|
||||
|
||||
So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
|
||||
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.
|
||||
|
||||
fallocate.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
RETURN VALUE: mention that 'errno' is set on error
|
||||
|
||||
io_setup.2
|
||||
Cyril Hrubis [Jeff Moyer]
|
||||
Clarify the nr_events parameter
|
||||
Currently the io_setup.2 man page describes what the kernel really
|
||||
does, i.e., that the resulting context may be able to hold more
|
||||
than the 'nr_event's operations because the memory allocated in
|
||||
kernel is rounded to be multiple of page size.
|
||||
|
||||
It is better not to expose this implementation detail and
|
||||
simply state that the resulting context is suitable for
|
||||
'nr_events' operations.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
prctl.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Note equivalents of PR_SET_NAME
|
||||
pthread_setname_np() and pthread_getname_np() and
|
||||
/proc/self/task/TID/comm provide access to the same
|
||||
attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
pread.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Марк Коренберг]
|
||||
pread() and pwrite() are especially useful in multithreaded applications
|
||||
|
||||

||||
Michael Kerrisk

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
|
||||

alloca.h are needed

clearer

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

Apologies if I missed anyone!

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.

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
Changes to individual pages
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
execve.2
|
||||
Peter LaDow
|
||||
Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointers
|
||||
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a
|
||||
functional, but non-portable, use of execve(). For example:
|
||||
|
||||
char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL };
|
||||
execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL);
|
||||
|
||||
The call succeeds. Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly)
|
||||
pointed out that envp could be dereferenced. But digging into
|
||||
glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL
|
||||
is treated as if it were an empty list.
|
||||
|
||||
So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
|
||||
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.
|
||||
|
||||
fallocate.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
RETURN VALUE: mention that 'errno' is set on error
|
||||
|
||||
io_setup.2
|
||||
Cyril Hrubis [Jeff Moyer]
|
||||
Clarify the nr_events parameter
|
||||
Currently the io_setup.2 man page describes what the kernel really
|
||||
does, i.e., that the resulting context may be able to hold more
|
||||
than the 'nr_event's operations because the memory allocated in
|
||||
kernel is rounded to be multiple of page size.
|
||||
|
||||
It is better not to expose this implementation detail and
|
||||
simply state that the resulting context is suitable for
|
||||
'nr_events' operations.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
prctl.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk
|
||||
Note equivalents of PR_SET_NAME
|
||||
pthread_setname_np() and pthread_getname_np() and
|
||||
/proc/self/task/TID/comm provide access to the same
|
||||
attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
pread.2
|
||||
Michael Kerrisk [Марк Коренберг]

Correct information on getting non-inlined version with gcc+glibc
