Michael Kerrisk f9313d015c proc.5: Default for /proc/sys/fs/protected_{hardlinks,symlinks} is now 0 
The default setting of 1 in/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
and /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks caused one too many
breakages for Linus's taste, so commit 561ec64ae67e changed
the default for both files to 0.

Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
attributively, "user-space".

All definitions of the Epoch have been refactored to the following:

  1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC)

That form is more consistent, logical, precise, and internationally
recognizable than the other variants.

Also, some wording has been altered as well.

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..)

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".
