Michael Kerrisk e417acb023 fcntl.2, intro.2, open.2, poll.2, ftw.3, intro.3, matherr.3, system.3, tmpnam.3, unix.7: Note that feature test macros must be defined before *any* includes
Programmers often make the mistake of including a feature test
macro only after having already included some header files.
This patch adds some text at opportune places to remind
programmers to do things the right way.

Michael Kerrisk b8c599cba0 poll.2: Fix discussion of ppoll() timeout argument
1. Rename ppoll)(_ argument to "timeout_ts" to distinguish it
   from the poll() argument in the text.
2. More accurately describe the poll() call that is equivalent
   to ppoll().

Michael Kerrisk f1a291ecd0 poll.2: Remove EBADF error from ERRORS
As reported by Motohiro:

"man poll" describe this error code.

>ERRORS
>   EBADF  An invalid file descriptor was given in one of the sets.

but current kernel implementation ignore invalid file descriptor,
not return EBADF.
...

In the other hand, SUSv3 talk about

> POLLNVAL
>    The specified fd value is invalid. This flag is only valid in the
>    revents member; it shall ignored in the events member.

and

> If the value of fd is less than 0, events shall be ignored, and
> ireevents shall be set to 0 in that entry on return from poll().

but, no desribe EBADF.
(see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/poll.html)

So, I think the implementation is correct.

Why don't we remove EBADF description?
