Yes, that's right. The tzfile format covers timestamps that predate the
introduction of UTC in 1960, so the documentation uses the sloppier and
more-general term "UT" instead of the more-precise term "UTC".

...
Quoting Branden:
*roff escape sequences may sometimes look like C escapes, but that
is misleading. *roff is in part a macro language and that means
recursive expansion to arbitrary depths.
You can get away with "\\" in a context where no macro expansion
is taking place, but try to spell a literal backslash this way in
the argument to a macro and you will likely be unhappy with
results.
Try viewing the attached file with "man -l".
"\e" is the preferred and portable way to get a portable "escape
literal" going back to CSTR #54 , the original Bell Labs troff
paper.
groff(7) discusses the issue:
\\ reduces to a single backslash; useful to delay its
interpretation as escape character in copy mode. For a
printable backslash, use \e, or even better \[rs], to be
independent from the current escape character.
As of groff 1.22.4, groff_man(7) does as well:
\e Widely used in man pages to represent a backslash output
glyph. It works reliably as long as the .ec request is
not used, which should never happen in man pages, and it
is slightly more portable than the more exact ‘\(rs’
(“reverse solidus”) escape sequence.
People not concerned with portability to extremely old troffs should
probably just use \(rs (or \[rs]), as it means "the backslash
glyph", not "the glyph corresponding to whatever the current escape
character is".

adjtimex.2, futex.2, mremap.2, seccomp.2, getnameinfo.3, random.3, console_codes.4, sysfs.5, sched.7, unicode.7: Use zero‐width space in appropriate locations
...
Quoting Branden:
*roff systems will interpret the period in the unpatched
page as sentence-ending punctuation and put inter-sentence
spacing after it. (This might not be visible on
nroff/terminal devices, but it is more likely to be on
typesetter/PostScript/PDF output).
groff_man(7) in groff 1.22.4 attempts to throw man page
writers a bone here:
\& Zero‐width space. Append to an input line to prevent
an end‐of‐ sentence punctuation sequence from being
recognized as such, or insert at the beginning of an
input line to prevent a dot or apostrophe from being
interpreted as the beginning of a roff request.

proc.5: Document fdinfo format for timerfd
...
Extended information for timerfd file descriptors in
/proc/[pid]/fdinfo was added in commit af9c4957cf21 ("timerfd:
Implement show_fdinfo method", 2014-07-16), to support
checkpoint/restore for such file descriptors (see also the
TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS ioctl which is documented in timerfd_create.2).

proc.5: Describe ambiguities in /proc/<pid>/maps
...
Pathname escaping is not done properly in /proc/<pid>/maps;
because of this, different pathnames may appear the same
(verified by experiment and reading the source code).
Further details from Elvira about the relevant location in
the kernel code:
show_map_vma() from fs/proc/task_mmu.c uses seq_file_path()
from fs/seq_file.c to print the dentry name, which in turn
calls seq_path() from the same file. seq_path() uses
d_path() from fs/d_path.c to get the path name; this is
where the " (deleted)" part comes from. This is followed by
mangling the string with mangle_path() (fs/seq_file.c); this
function only replaces those characters that were supplied
in the "esc" argument and does not bother with escaping
anything else ('\\', for example). The value of this
argument comes without modifications from the initial call
of seq_file_path() by show_map_vma(), and that is "\n".

proc.5: Correct description of NStgid
...
The left-most pid namespace in a given procfs' `NStgid` does not
change based on the pid namespace of the reading process. Rather,
each procfs has an associated outer-most namespace, which gets
set when the procfs is mounted:
```
static struct dentry *proc_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data)
{
struct pid_namespace *ns;
if (flags & MS_KERNMOUNT) {
ns = data;
data = NULL;
} else {
ns = task_active_pid_ns(current);
}
return mount_ns(fs_type, flags, data, ns, ns->user_ns, proc_fill_super);
}
```
i.e. either the root namespace for kernel mounts or the namespace
of the mounting process. This ns then gets saved in the fs' super
block and is the basis for most operations. It is this ns that the
left-most value of `NStgid` is relative to, not the reading process.

proc.5: Fix description of /proc/PID/* ownership to account for user namespaces
...
Starting in Linux 4.11, if the process dumpable attribute is
not 1 and the process resides in a noninitial namespaces that
has valid mappings for UID 0 and GID 0, then the ownership of
/proc/PID/* is made the same as the root IDs of the namespace.
Determined by inspection of fs/proc/base.c

proc.5: Setting dumpable to 1 reverts ownership of /proc/PID/* to effective IDs
...
The statement that resetting the dumpable attribute of a process
to 1 causes the ownership of files to revert the process's real
IDs looked suspect. And indeed it is at odds with the code in
fs/proc/base.c::task_dump_owner() (Linux 4.16 sources).
Further verified with a quick test that resetting dumpable to 1
causes the ownership of /proc/PID/* files to revert to the
process's effective IDs. Mea culpa for the original mistake.
