Andi Kleen, with some text and edits by mtk
Documents the getcpu(2) system call, introduced in Linux 2.6.19.

since glibc 2.6.
cpuset.7
Paul Jackson, with review and editing by mtk, and comments by
Hidetoshi Seto and Li Zefan
A description of the cpuset file system, the mechanism introduced

and nodes. (Becomes the fourth largest page in man-pages!)
Newly documented interfaces in existing pages

Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
accept.2

Small wording change.
io_getevents.2
mtk
ERRORS: Add EINTR error.
open.2
mtk
ERRORS: Add EINTR error.
sigaction.2
mtk
Note circumstances in which each SA_* flag is meaningful.
mtk
Describe POSIX specification, and Linux semantics for
SA_NOCLDWAIT when establishing a handler for SIGCHLD.
mtk
Add pointer under SA_RESTART to new text in signal(7)
describing system call restarting.
mtk
Other minor edits.
truncate.2
mtk
ERRORS: Added EINTR error.
A few minor rewordings.
wait.2
mtk
Remove statement that WUNTRACED and WCONTINUED only have effect
if SA_NOCLDSTOP has not been set for SIGCHLD. That's not true.
errno.3
mtk
Add a pointer to signal(7) for further explanation of EINTR.
getgrouplist.3
mtk
SEE ALSO: Add passwd(5).
readdir.3
mtk
Remove <sys/types.h> from SYNOPSIS; POSIX.1-2001 does not
require it.
Some minor rewordings.
sleep.3
mtk
RETURN VALUE: explicitly mention interruption by signal handler.
SEE ALSO: add signal(7).
usleep.3
mtk
POSIX.1-2001 also does not document EINVAL.
group.5
mtk
SEE ALSO: Add getgrent(3), getgrnam(3).
passwd.5
mtk
SEE ALSO: Add getpwent(3), getpwnam(3).
proc.5
mtk
Add pointer to description of /proc/PID/cpuset in cpuset(7).
signal.7
mtk
Add a section describing system call restarting, and noting
which system calls are affected by SA_RESTART, and which
system calls are never restarted.
mtk
Describe the aberrant Linux behavior whereby a stop signal
plus SIGCONT can interrupt some system calls, even if no
signal handler has been established, and note the system
calls that behave this way.
mtk
Note a few more architectures on which signal numbers are valid.
SEE ALSO: added a number of pages.
mtk
Update async-signal-safe function list for POSIX.1-2004 (which
adds sockatmark()).
