...
The POSIX timers API is implemented (mostly) within the kernel,
so thse interfaces are system calls. Although there are as yet
no man pages, when they are added they should be in Section 2,
not 3. Therefore fix those pages that currently refer to these
interfaces as being in Section 3.

Clean up the $LANGUAGE description, by removing bogus comments
from setlocale(3) and expanding the mention in locale(7).
Maybe you will decide that a more detailed description should be left
to the gettext(3) documentation, but I actually care about the invisible
part of the patch more since the comments have put me off the track
initially ($LANGUAGE has nothing to do with setlocale(3) and is
completely isolated to gettext, as obvious from the glibc sources).

capabilities.7: Various minor fixes as per Debian bug 471029
...
The relevant pieces of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471029 are:
- Delete duplicate subentry for KEYCTL_CHOWN/KEYCTL_SETPERM
operations in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry. (It feels like that
capability entry should be converted to a list, but I've left it
in semicolon-delimited form for now.)
- Remove text about ENFILE from the text about the
/proc/sys/fs/file-max limit in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry, since
this is already described in the man pages for the relevant
ofile-creating system calls.
- Correct or clarify a few other bits of grammar and such; see the
diff file itself for details.

This is more consistent with the term "mounts namespace"
used in the 2008 ACM SIGOPS paper, "Virtual servers
and and checkpoint/restart in mainstream Linux".
(I avoided the "s", because using the plural strikes me
as klunky English, and anyway we don't talk about
the "PIDs namespace" or the "networks namespace", etc..)

inotify.7: Fix description of max_user_watches
...
It seems that inotify(7) is wrong here:
"/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
This specifies a limit on the number of watches that can be
associated with each inotify instance."
On my system, the default value for this variable is 8192. But I
cannot create more than 8192 watches in total for the same UID
even when they are on different inotify instances. So I suggest
to rephrase this as: "This specifies an upper limit on the
number of watches that can be created per real user ID."
