...
The perf_event_open() ENABLE/DISABLE/RESET ioctls can take an
argument, PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP. This wasn't documented at all
until about a year ago (despite the support being there from
the beginning) so I missed this when initially writing
the man page.

execve: Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointers
...
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a
functional, but non-portable, use of execve(). For example:
char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL };
execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL);
The call succeeds. Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly)
pointed out that envp could be dereferenced. But digging into
glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL
is treated as if it were an empty list.
So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.

io_setup.2: Clarify the nr_events parameter
...
Currently the io_setup.2 man page describes what the kernel really
does, i.e., that the resulting context may be able to hold more
than the 'nr_event's operations because the memory allocated in
kernel is rounded to be multiple of page size.
It is better not to expose this implementation detail and
simply state that the resulting context is suitable for
'nr_events' operations.

io_setup.2: Clarify nr_events
...
nr_events is technically the number of completion events that can
be stored in the completion ring. The wording of the man page:
"capable of receiving at least nr_events" seems dubious to me,
only because I worry that folks might interpret that to mean
'nr_events' total, instead of 'nr_events' concurrently.
Further, I've added information on where to find the per-user
limit on 'nr_events', /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr. Let me know if
you think that is not relevant.

...
Also: in sync_file_range.2 and posix_fadvise.2 remove description
of conventional calling signature as flawed, and in
posix_fadvise.2, de-emphasize focus on ARM, and rather phrase
