open.2: Add EINVAL to errors list
...
EINVAL can be returned by open(2) when the underlying filesystem
doesn't support O_DIRECT. It is documented in the NOTES section
but this patch adds it to the list of possible errors.

Fix possible race condition in readlink.2 example
...
I noticed that the example in the readlink.2 man pages does error
checking for a race condition that would cause the value of the
symbolic link to get larger. However, it doesn't handle the
opposite case, in which the value gets shorter. (The NULL
terminator is always set at the old, longer offset.) This could
cause the program to operate on uninitialized data.

It turns out PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP was broken from 75f937f24bd9
(in Linux 2.6.31, the initial perf_event release) until
724b6daa1 (Linux 3.4).
I've done some extensive kernel source code digging plus
running tests of various kernels and I hope the info
presented is accurate now.
