sched.7: Rework discussion of autogroup nice value
...
Remove the text saying that setting the autogroup nice value
always lowers the group's priority. That was actually a
bug introduced in Linux 4.7.
Also make it clearer that the autogroup nice value has the same
meaning as the nice value set by setpriority(2).

elf(5): document notes
...
Document the Elf{32,64}_Nhdr structure, the sections/segments that
contain notes, and how to interpret them. I've been lazy and only
included the GNU extensions here, especially as others are not
defined in the elf.h header file as shipped by glibc.
I've mostly used binutils, glibc, breakpad, and the GABI ELF spec
as sources of data for these fields.
