Peter Schiffer 1b0f58cdaa nsswitch.conf.5: Mention initgroups db 
Attached patch mentions initgroups db, which was added to the
glibc in commit [1] and describes unexpected behaviour for
group database with notfound status and return action, based
on comment on line 135 in initgroups.c file [2]. More detailed
explanation of this behaviour can be found in email [4] of email
thread [3].

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53671

    /* For compatibility reason we will continue to look for more
       entries using the next service even though data has already
       been found if the nsswitch.conf file contained only a 'groups'
       line and no 'initgroups' line.  If the latter is available
       we always respect the status.  This means that the default
       for successful lookups is to return.  */

Peter Schiffer 44f3a7d766 nscd.conf.5: Add max-db-size and auto-propagate descriptions, default values, + misc 
* added missing valid services (services and netgroup)
 * added many default values for options
 * reordered options according to the nscd.conf file
   (logical order)
 * added 2 missing options: max-db-size and auto-propagate

All changes are based on nscd.conf file [1] and source code for
nscd [2] (e.g.  nscd.h for default values, etc.)

Original email for this update can be found here [3], however
patch attached to this bugzilla is newer.

Justin Lebar 04dcb3c8f8 proc.5: statm's "shared" field refers to pages backed by files 
I noticed that statm's "shared" field doesn't match the sum of
all the "shared" entries in smaps [1].

The kernel docs explain that statm's "shared" field is "number of
pages that are shared (i.e. backed by a file)" [2].  smaps appears
to call a page shared if it's mapped by at least two processes,
which explains this discrepancy.

I'm not a kernel hacker, but it appears to me they do mean "i.e."
and not "e.g." in the statm description: In
fs/proc/task_mmu.c::task_statm, I see

    *shared = get_mm_counter(mm, MM_FILEPAGES);

Here's a patch which updates the man page to match the (hopefully
correct) kernel docs.
