fcntl.2: Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break
...
Here's a patch to the fcntl.2 manpage that explains
the working of F_GETLEASE in a bit more detail during
lease breaks. Basically, what happens is this: When a
lease break is initiated by a lease breaker, subsequent
F_GETLEASE calls return the target lease type after
the lease break and not the existing lease type. This
behavior persists until the lease holder downgrades/unlocks
the lease or the kernel forcibly does it after the lease
break timeout expires.
The implicit assumption is that F_GETLEASE should
return the existing lock type until the downgrade/unlock
has actually taken place, which is not true. I've verified
that the kernel indeed returns the target lease type. It
is also simple enough to verify this behavior in a small
program, where you can observe that the lease type
returned by F_GETLEASE in the signal handler for a
lease break is different from the existing lease type.

nsswitch.conf.5: Significant rewrites and improvements
...
This patch applies to nsswitch.conf.5 in man-pages-3.36.
My changes almost completely rewrite large sections of the
man page. They are needed to add clarity, correct grammar,
reduce confusion, and bring up-to-date with the latest glibc.
I have checked the man page against the nss source code in
glibc 2.14.90.
Historical notes are demoted to the footer.
The rewrite makes the man page much clearer to
understand, more authoratitive, and easier to read.

fcntl.2: Change type of arg from "long" to "int"
...
Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".
Update the man page to reflect. Probably, all of the
other "long" cases (not specified in POSIX) should
be "int", and this patch makes them so. Based on a
note fromEric Blake, relating to F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.

ptrace.2: Various fixes
...
For some reason, the PTRACE_TRACEME paragraph talks about some
general aspects of ptraced process behavior. It repeats the
"tracee stops on every signal" information even though that was
already explained just a few paragraphs before. Then it describes
legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
This patch deletes the first part, and moves the second part up,
into the general ptrace description. It also adds
"If PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC option is not in effect" to the description
of the legacy SIGTRAP on execve().
The patch also amends the part which says "For requests other
than PTRACE_KILL, the tracee must be stopped." - PTRACE_ATTACH
also doesn't require that.
