Michael Kerrisk 73edb42bed In the desription if /proc/[pid]/environ, remove reference to 
lilo(8)/grub(8) since there seems to be nothing in those pages
that related to this /proc file.
 2008-08-27 21:33:19 +00:00

Michael Kerrisk 610f75cc09 Remove /proc/PID/numa_maps material (it is now in numa(7)). 2008-08-13 08:13:01 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 533dbdda9c Link to new numa(7) page, which incorporates the 
/proc/PID/numa_maps description.
As part of the numactl() package, the /proc/PID/numa_maps
documentation was in a numa_maps.5 page; this link
ensures that "man 5 numa_maps" still works.
(Eventually, we may want to remove it.)

Michael Kerrisk 7388733a37 Add documentation of the /proc/PID/numa_maps file. 
This material was formerly the numa_maps.5 page in the numactl
package, but really belongs in man-pages (since it describes
a kernel interface).

Michael Kerrisk b447cd586d Update /proc/[number]/cmdline description. 
It used to be true that the command line arguments were
not accessible when the process had been swapped out.
In ancient kernels (circa 2.0.*) the problem was that the
kernel relied on get_phys_addr to access the user space buffer,
which stopped working as soon as the process was swapped out.
Recent kernels use get_user_pages for the same purpose and thus
they should not have that limitation.
