Zsbán Ambrus 237565c981 ioctl_list.2: Document FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES
The attached patch adds four ioctls from linux/msdos_fs.h to the
ioctl_list(2) manpage.

The ioctl FAT_IOCTL_GET_ATTRIBUTES reads FAT attributes of a
file a mounted vfat file system.  I tested this on Linux
2.6.33, an example script can be found at

Chuck Coffing c1de8e3e30 Fix possible race condition in readlink.2 example
I noticed that the example in the readlink.2 man pages does error
checking for a race condition that would cause the value of the
symbolic link to get larger.  However, it doesn't handle the
opposite case, in which the value gets shorter.  (The NULL
terminator is always set at the old, longer offset.)  This could
cause the program to operate on uninitialized data.

Vince Weaver 8cc8b90de8 perf_event_open.2 Add PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP documentation
The perf_event_open() ENABLE/DISABLE/RESET ioctls can take an
argument, PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP.  This wasn't documented at all
until about a year ago (despite the support being there from
the beginning) so I missed this when initially writing
the man page.

Peter LaDow 0c42642f86 execve: Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointers
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a
functional, but non-portable, use of execve().  For example:

    char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL };
    execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL);

The call succeeds.  Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly)
pointed out that envp could be dereferenced.  But digging into
glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL
is treated as if it were an empty list.

So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.

Cyril Hrubis 9c456b53a3 io_setup.2: Clarify the nr_events parameter
Currently the io_setup.2 man page describes what the kernel really
does, i.e., that the resulting context may be able to hold more
than the 'nr_event's operations because the memory allocated in
kernel is rounded to be multiple of page size.

It is better not to expose this implementation detail and
simply state that the resulting context is suitable for
'nr_events' operations.
