It's easier to run `./scripts/foo.sh ...` than
`bash ./scripts/foo.sh ...`. Mark them all +x to support that.

In the kernel, the type of the arguments to pkey_alloc() is
"unsigned long" and that's what the page documented until now.
Now that glibc support is added for pkey_alloc(), switch to the
glibc prototype, which uses "unsigned int".

Direct writes can perform partial writes because large writes
can be broken into smaller chunks by the block layer. Part of
the I/O submitted can fail and the failure is returned to write
as an error in the return value. However, part of the write can
be successful which means that data at the offset is inconsistent.

The parisc gateway page currently only exports 3 functions:
The lws_entry for CAS operations (at 0xb0), the set_thread_pointer
function for usage in glibc (at 0xe0) and the Linux syscall entry
(at 0x100).
All other symbols in the manpage are internal labels and
shouldn't be used directly by userspace or glibc, so drop them
from the man page documentation.

The wording is a little confusing, suggesting that this is
the primary use of O_NONBLOCK. Fix that.

A process doesn't have a capability in a mount namespace, but
rather in the user namespace that owns the mount namespace.

Attempts (settimeofday(), clcok_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME)) to set
the real time clock to a value less than the current value of the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock result in EINVAL.
In the kernel source file kernel/time/timekeeping.c::do_settimeofday64(),
there is this check:
if (timespec64_compare(&tk->wall_to_monotonic, &ts_delta) > 0) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out;
}
It appears that the check was added in Linux 4.3:

Note ENOTDIR error that occurs when requesting a watch on a

I noticed that it was undocumented how inotify_add_watch(2)
behaves if IN_ONLYDIR is specified and the target is not a
directory.
I've included a patch that adds ENOTDIR as an additional error in
the inotify_add_watch(2) man page.

(.SH DESCRIPTION): Document the size of the resp_buffer when
function_code is 0.
(.SH NOTES): Document various aspects of the current
implementation (the lifted requirement for the response buffer
alignment, the presence of in-kernel cache), add description
for the documentation URL.
