lseek.2: Remove suspect note about 'whence' being incorrect English.
...
As noted by Alan Curry:
According to man2/lseek.2,
This document's use of whence is incorrect English, but
maintained for historical reasons.
What is the grammatical objection?
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
whence
adv 1: from what place, source, or cause
Wiktionary:
[edit] Adverb
whence (not comparable)
1. From where; from which place or source.
lseek's second parameter is a distance to be traveled, and
the third parameter chooses the starting point from which
that distance is measured. How is that not a "whence"?
Looking at some man page archives, I found that the accusation
of incorrect English goes back to before 4.4BSD. It survives
not just in the linux-man-pages but also in recent versions
of {Net,Open,Free}BSD. The name "whence" for this parameter
goes back at least to V7.
Of all the people who have read this page over the years,
am I the only one wondering... what's this about? Who decided
that "whence" was incorrect and put that note in the man page?
Was there ever anything wrong, or do we have someone's
20-year-old unresearched pet peeve lingering in the man pages?

prctl.2: PR_SET_DUMPABLE makes process non-ptrace-attachable
...
We've recently discovered that GDB will fail to attach to any
process that sets itself non-dumpable. Tested on kernel 2.6.32,
with:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0, 0, 0) != 0) {
perror("prctl");
}
printf("Run gdb %s %d\n", argv[0], getpid());
sleep(20);
abort();
}
./a.out
Run gdb ./a.out 30476
gdb -q ./a.out 30476
Reading symbols from /tmp/a.out...done.
Attaching to program: /tmp/a.out, process 30476
ptrace: Operation not permitted.
/tmp/30476: No such file or directory.

unlink.2: Improve EBUSY description
...
The current version of the page says (under ERRORS):
> EBUSY (not on Linux)
> The file pathname cannot be unlinked because it is being
> used by the system or another process and the
> implementation considers this an error.
But if you look in the kernel source file fs/namei.c
at routine may_delete() you'll see two occasions where
an EBUSY is generated. So the above "not on Linux" is wrong.
I suggest that this '(not on Linux)' be removed. It may
also improve the page if the commentary is reworded to give a
better description of the two situations. Something along
the lines of:
> The file pathname cannot be unlinked because it is being used
> by the system, e.g. if some (relative) rootdir is mounted upon it,
> or because the NFS client software created it to represent an
> active but otherwise nameless inode ("NFS silly renamed").
Just FYI: the NFS silly rename (you'll find this term mentioned
in the kernel source code) is described at:
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/#section_d
under section D2. The reason I found this manpage bug is because
I stumbled upon one of these silly renamed files, and an strace
of the rm-command revealed the EBUSY return errno.

timerfd_settime(2) states that "The old_value argument returns a

caller can pass NULL to ignore that value. Only the example
shows that the caller can pass NULL.

kexec_load.2: Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman
...
Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should
be "physical" and noted:
There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec that
virtual and physical addresses will be identity mapped. But
this isn't the old Alpha booting convention where you have
a virtual address and then you have to parse the page table
to figure out where your kernel was actually loaded.

the sync_file_range() argument order is broken for some
architectures (PowerPC, ARM, tile). The remedy was a different
system call using the right argument order on those architectures.
