Michael Kerrisk 64fb5aedb0 tzfile.5: Add information on version 2 format timezone files 
Updated using information from the tzcode 2010l release at
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.
(It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5
should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the
man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a
conservative course that causes least pain to downstream,
by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.)

Daisuke HATAYAMA 6866d935b3 elf.5: Document PN_XNUM extension 
In linux-2.6.34-rc1, an ELF core extension was added; user-land tools
manipulating ELF core dump such as gdb and binutils has already been
modified before; so elf.5 needs to be modified accordingly.

You can follow information on the ELF extension via the LKML post:

Michael Kerrisk 732e54dd96 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/mount-point namespace/mount namespace/ 
This is more consistent with the term "mounts namespace"
used in the 2008 ACM SIGOPS paper, "Virtual servers
and and checkpoint/restart in mainstream Linux".
(I avoided the "s", because using the plural strikes me
as klunky English, and anyway we don't talk about
the "PIDs namespace" or the "networks namespace", etc..)

In recent times, a number of other namespace flags have been
added to clone(2).  As such, it is no longer clear to use
the generic term "namespace" to refer to the particular
namespace controlled by CLONE_NEWNS; instead, use the
term "mount-point namespace".
