Michael Kerrisk 962232bffc times.2: ERRORS: Add EFAULT 
As Simone notes, RETURN VALUE says:

On error, (clock_t) -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately

but no value for errno is specified.  The only error case is
EFAULT, so let's add that.

Abhijith Das a8ceabbc8c fcntl.2: Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break 
Here's a patch to the fcntl.2 manpage that explains
the working of F_GETLEASE in a bit more detail during
lease breaks. Basically, what happens is this: When a
lease break is initiated by a lease breaker, subsequent
F_GETLEASE calls return the target lease type after
the lease break and not the existing lease type. This
behavior persists until the lease holder downgrades/unlocks
the lease or the kernel forcibly does it after the lease
break timeout expires.

The implicit assumption is that F_GETLEASE should
return the existing lock type until the downgrade/unlock
has actually taken place, which is not true. I've verified
that the kernel indeed returns the target lease type. It
is also simple enough to verify this behavior in a small
program, where you can observe that the lease type
returned by F_GETLEASE in the signal handler for a
lease break is different from the existing lease type.
