Michael Kerrisk 577f9b624b clone.2: Rewrite crufty text about number of args in older version of clone() 
Some bit rot had crept in regarding the discussion of the
    number of arguments in older versions of this syscall.
    Simplify the text to just say that Linux 2.4 and earlier
    didn't have ptid, tls, and ctid arguments.

    See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533868

Michael Kerrisk 732e54dd96 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/mount-point namespace/mount namespace/ 
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..)

Michael Kerrisk 4df2eb09d1 clone.2, mount.2, unshare.2, proc.5, path_resolution.7: Global fix: s/namespace/mount-point namespace/, as appropriate 
In recent times, a number of other namespace flags have been
added to clone(2).  As such, it is no longer clear to use
the generic term "namespace" to refer to the particular
namespace controlled by CLONE_NEWNS; instead, use the
term "mount-point namespace".

John Reiser a1d48abb60 Fine tune discussion of getpid() caching bug. 
The error by getpid() in the presence of clone() occurs
only for a fork-like clone (one that omits CLONE_VM from the flags.)
This is a low-level detail, but there is no problem [known-to-me]
for thread-like clone().
