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".

Document the details of the new FAN_DIR_MODIFY event, which
introduces entry name information to the fanotify event
reporting format.
Enhance the fanotify_fid.c example to also report this event.

Some of the new event types that were added in v5.1 along with
init flag FAN_REPORT_FID are not eligible for reporting to a
directory watching with FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD.
Document the events that cannot be generated on children of a
watching parent.

It is not true that FAN_MARK_MOUNT cannot be used with a group
that was initialized with flag FAN_REPORT_FID.
The correct assertion is that events that require a group with
flag FAN_REPORT_FID cannot be requested on a mark mount.
For exaple, a FAN_OPEN event can be requested on a mark mount and
will generate an event with file handle information if the group
was initialized with flag FAN_REPORT_FID.

I was experimenting with some possible changes to adjtimex(2) and
clock_adjtime(2) and tried to look up the man page to see what the
documented behavior is when I noticed that clock_adjtime() appears
to be the only system call that is currently undocumented.
Before I do any changes to it, this tries to document what I
understand it currently does.

Linux has allowed passing open file descriptors to clock_gettime()
and friends since v2.6.39. This patch documents these "dynamic"
clocks and adds a brief example of how to use them.
