Michael Kerrisk eada5570b0 proc.5: Setting dumpable to 1 reverts ownership of /proc/PID/* to effective IDs 
The statement that resetting the dumpable attribute of a process
to 1 causes the ownership of files to revert the process's real
IDs looked suspect. And indeed it is at odds with the code in
fs/proc/base.c::task_dump_owner() (Linux 4.16 sources).
Further verified with a quick test that resetting dumpable to 1
causes the ownership of /proc/PID/* files to revert to the
process's effective IDs. Mea culpa for the original mistake.

README 

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
