As Simone notes, RETURN VALUE says:
On error, (clock_t) -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately
but no value for errno is specified. The only error case is
EFAULT, so let's add that.

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.

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.

ptrace.2: add extended description of various ptrace quirks
...
Changes include:
s/parent/tracer/g, s/child/tracee/g - ptrace interface now
is sufficiently cleaned up to not treat tracing process
as parent.
Deleted several outright false statements:
- pid 1 can be traced
- tracer is not shown as parent in ps output
- PTRACE_ATTACH is not "the same behavior as if tracee had done
a PTRACE_TRACEME": PTRACE_ATTACH delivers a SIGSTOP.
- SIGSTOP _can_ be injected.
- Removed mentions of SunOS and Solaris as irrelevant.
- Added a few more known bugs.
Added a large block of text in DESCRIPTION which doesn't focus
on mechanical description of each flag and operation, but rather
tries to describe a bigger picture. The targeted audience is
a person which is reasonably knowledgeable in Unix but did not
spend years working with ptrace, and thus may be unaware of its
quirks. This text went through several iterations of review by
Oleg Nesterov and Tejun Heo.
This block of text intentionally uses as little markup as possible,
otherwise future modifications to it will be very hard to make.

fsync.2: Note that some systems require a writable file descriptor
...
An edited version of Guillem Jover's comments:
[While the file descriptor does not need to be writable on Linux]
that's not a safe portable assumption to make on POSIX in general
as that behavior is not specified and as such is
implementation-specific. Some Unix systems do actually fail on
read-only file descriptors, for example [HP-UX and AIX].

fallocate.2: Substantial restructuring of DESCRIPTION
...
The addition of a second class of operation ("hole punching")
to the man page made it clear that some significant restructuring
is required. So I substantially reworked the page, including the
preexisting material on the default "file allocation" operation.

lseek.2: Remove suspect note about 'whence' being incorrect English.
...
As noted by Alan Curry:
According to man2/lseek.2,
This document's use of whence is incorrect English, but
maintained for historical reasons.
What is the grammatical objection?
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
whence
adv 1: from what place, source, or cause
Wiktionary:
[edit] Adverb
whence (not comparable)
1. From where; from which place or source.
lseek's second parameter is a distance to be traveled, and
the third parameter chooses the starting point from which
that distance is measured. How is that not a "whence"?
Looking at some man page archives, I found that the accusation
of incorrect English goes back to before 4.4BSD. It survives
not just in the linux-man-pages but also in recent versions
of {Net,Open,Free}BSD. The name "whence" for this parameter
goes back at least to V7.
Of all the people who have read this page over the years,
am I the only one wondering... what's this about? Who decided
that "whence" was incorrect and put that note in the man page?
Was there ever anything wrong, or do we have someone's
20-year-old unresearched pet peeve lingering in the man pages?

We've recently discovered that GDB will fail to attach to any

with:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

if (prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0, 0, 0) != 0) {
perror("prctl");
}
printf("Run gdb %s %d\n", argv[0], getpid());
sleep(20);
abort();
}
./a.out

unlink.2: Improve EBUSY description
...
The current version of the page says (under ERRORS):
> EBUSY (not on Linux)
> The file pathname cannot be unlinked because it is being
> used by the system or another process and the
> implementation considers this an error.
But if you look in the kernel source file fs/namei.c
at routine may_delete() you'll see two occasions where
an EBUSY is generated. So the above "not on Linux" is wrong.
I suggest that this '(not on Linux)' be removed. It may
also improve the page if the commentary is reworded to give a
better description of the two situations. Something along
the lines of:
> The file pathname cannot be unlinked because it is being used
> by the system, e.g. if some (relative) rootdir is mounted upon it,
> or because the NFS client software created it to represent an
> active but otherwise nameless inode ("NFS silly renamed").
Just FYI: the NFS silly rename (you'll find this term mentioned
in the kernel source code) is described at:
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/#section_d
under section D2. The reason I found this manpage bug is because
I stumbled upon one of these silly renamed files, and an strace
of the rm-command revealed the EBUSY return errno.

kexec_load.2: Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman
...
Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should
be "physical" and noted:
There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec that
virtual and physical addresses will be identity mapped. But
this isn't the old Alpha booting convention where you have
a virtual address and then you have to parse the page table
to figure out where your kernel was actually loaded.
