Michael Kerrisk b18ea63300 bind.2: Correct EINVAL error description 
As pointed out by Ryan:

    My application is trying to bind an IPV4 UDP socket to an
    address. I've found that passing an invalid address length
    to bind() causes bind to return EINVAL. According to the
    bind(2) manpage, this should only occur when using unix
    domain sockets (which I am not).

Vince Weaver bc9d90b589 perf_event_open.2: Clarify PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC usage 
When checking the fields in the PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC type samples
you need to shift the masks before doing the compare.

Although the value you are checking (perf_mem_data_src) is
specified as a bitfield so this might all fall apart if trying
to access the field in a cross-endian way.  The Power people
were working on this issue, not sure if they resolved it.

sample_stack_user parameter, the rest is just some wording

NeilBrown c835f12b9b epoll_ctl.2: minor clarification concerning when a WAKEUP event is "processed" 
I guess it should be obvious, but it never hurts to be explicit.
When the epoll file descriptor is closed all events are assumed
to be "processed".
Also if the event is removed with EPOLL_CTL_DEL or the EPOLLWAKEUP
flag is removed with EPOLL_CTL_MOD the event will be "processed".

Michael Kerrisk e32652ca9f syslog.2: Rework text describing loglevels 
The kernel header file mentioned in the discussion of the KERN_*
constants has morphed and is no longer exported inside glibc.
And the definitions of the constants themselves changed subtly
with kernel commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112.
So, rewrite the description of the constants to be a bit more
abstract.

Carlos O'Donell 7b08c45b7d syscalls.2: Add prlimit64(2) 
While trying to reconcile the new features in glibc with the
documented entries in the linux kernel man pages I noticed that
glibc exports prlimit64 for use by 32-bit applications (as does
the linux kernel), but that prlimit64 was not defined in the
syscalls list or in the prlimit-related page.

This is not the complete fix for this, but I don't have the time
to explain why and when prlimit64 should be used (or how it should
be used safely). Therefore I'm just patching the syscalls.2 list
to show that prlimit64 exists and was added in 2.6.36 (verified
with git by checking out the tags before and after).

Unless you've purposely excluded prlimit64 to avoid telling users
about it because it's complicated, please apply.
