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).

Vince Weaver bc9d90b589 perf_event_open.2: Clarify PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC usage
When checking the fields in the PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC type samples
you need to shift the masks before doing the compare.

Although the value you are checking (perf_mem_data_src) is
specified as a bitfield so this might all fall apart if trying
to access the field in a cross-endian way.  The Power people
were working on this issue, not sure if they resolved it.
