Carlos O'Donell 3252fa3f03 wait.2: ffix: add paragraph break before errno note in RETURN VALUE section
The text "Each of these calls sets errno to an appropriate
value in the case of an error." is not only for waitid.

This patch adds a paragraph break to move the errno note
to a new paragraph where it makes sense, as it applies to
all the wait* functions.

Michael Kerrisk 1a212a018f execve.2: Remove unneeded ".sh" extension in interpreter script example
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84701

As noted by C. Alex North-Keys:

1) Command name extensions considered harmful: Adding ".sh", or
any other unneeded extension, unnecessarily duplicates meta
information already present in the interpreter directive,
exposing an implementation detail that then ends up explicitly
part of other programs running this one.  Later, when such a
script is replaced with a new version in Python, C, etc., the
useless ".sh" has to be retained to avoid breaking those other
programs' calls to this one, and now has a stark antifunction
of lying about the script's content and occasionally causing
admins to run undefined experiments as root (like
"bash -x ./reallyperlscript.sh"). Such extensions, while fine
in DOS which ignores extensions explicitly, is a serious flaw
in Unix-targeted script writing.  Canonical documentation
from the Linux manual should not support such a flawed idiom -
recommending against it would be preferred.

A more extensive rant against them can be found at:
http://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/documents/commandname-extensions-considered-harmful

2) The space after "#!" in the interpreter directive is minor -
and the kernel's fs/binfmt_script.c specifically allows for it -
but versions of unix have length limits from ~30 characters to
Linux's 127 or so (if that number's correct) so the space does
have a cost.  Most scripts I've seen lack that space, and
there's no real reason to encourage it.

Eric W. Biederman 69b6b231d7 mount.2: Clarify use of 'mountflags' and 'data' for MS_REMOUNT
Quoting Eric Biederman:

One thing that has come up recently (in 3 separate
implementations) is that mount(MS_REMOUNT|...,...) must include
all of the mount flags that need to be preserved.   People
creating read-only bind mounts tend to miss that and the locked
flags in mount namespaces.  That issue was flushed out now that
the kernel is now not allowing most mount flags to be cleared in
mount namespaces.  The interface is non-intuitive and we should
at least document the weirdness.

Michael Kerrisk 9cd6730cb9 flock.2: Don't mention "classical BSD" in discussion of fcntl()/flock interaction
The noninteraction of flock(2) and fcntl(2) locks does
not seem to be classical BSD semantics (at least, checking
the 4.4BSD sources suggest that the lock types do interact,
although there have been other systems also where fcntl()
and flock() locks do not interact). So, fix the text
discussing "classical BSD" lock semantics.

Rusty Russell d2e7d1bb58 poll.2, select.2: fix erroneous description of "available for write".
POSIX says: "POLLOUT Normal data may be written without
blocking.".  This is "may" is misleading, see the POSIX
write page:

    Write requests to a pipe or FIFO shall be handled in the
    same way as a regular file with the following exceptions:
    ...
    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, a write request may cause
    the thread to block, but on normal completion it shall
    return nbyte.
    ...
    When attempting to write to a file descriptor (other than a
    pipe or FIFO) that supports non-blocking writes and cannot
    accept the data immediately:

    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, write() shall block the
    calling thread until the data can be accepted.

    If the O_NONBLOCK flag is set, write() shall not block the
    thread. If some data can be written without blocking the
    thread, write() shall write what it can and return the
    number of bytes written. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and
    set errno to [EAGAIN].

The net result is that write() of more than 1 byte on a
socket, pipe or FIFO which is "ready" may block: write()
(unlike read!) will attempt to write the entire buffer and
only return a short write under exceptional circumstances.

Indeed, this is the behaviour we see in Linux:

Michael Kerrisk b18ea63300 bind.2: Correct EINVAL error description
As pointed out by Ryan:

    My application is trying to bind an IPV4 UDP socket to an
    address. I've found that passing an invalid address length
    to bind() causes bind to return EINVAL. According to the
    bind(2) manpage, this should only occur when using unix
    domain sockets (which I am not).
