Vince Weaver 02ca78a0c7 perf_event_open.2: Clarify PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER usage
This clarifies the PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER section.
I found these issue while implementing some code that uses
the option.  The important change is fixing the name of the
sample_stack_user parameter, the rest is just some wording
fixes and minor clarifications.

NeilBrown c835f12b9b epoll_ctl.2: minor clarification concerning when a WAKEUP event is "processed"
I guess it should be obvious, but it never hurts to be explicit.
When the epoll file descriptor is closed all events are assumed
to be "processed".
Also if the event is removed with EPOLL_CTL_DEL or the EPOLLWAKEUP
flag is removed with EPOLL_CTL_MOD the event will be "processed".

Michael Kerrisk e95b1911c4 inotify.7: Clarify with events are generated for watched directories
Really, with respect to watched directories, events fall into
three classes (not two, as was shown):

* Events that can be generated only for the watched directory.
* Events that can be generated only for objects that are inside
  the watched directory.
* Events that can be generated both for the watched directory
  and for objects inside the directory.

So, mark these three classes more clearly in the list of inotify
events.
