Subject: [PATCH] set_tid_address.2: SYNOPSIS: Fix set_tid_address() return type
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2020 22:59:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201123215911.7576-1-alx.manpages@gmail.com> (raw)

The Linux kernel uses 'pid_t' instead of 'long' for the return type.
As glibc provides no wrapper, use the same types the kernel uses.

$ sed -n 34,36p man-pages/man2/set_tid_address.2
.PP
.IR Note :
There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see NOTES.

$ grep -rn 'SYSCALL_DEFINE.*set_tid_address' linux/
linux/kernel/fork.c:1632:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_tid_address, int __user *, tidptr)

$ sed -n 1632,1638p linux/kernel/fork.c
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_tid_address, int __user *, tidptr)
{
	current->clear_child_tid = tidptr;

	return task_pid_vnr(current);
}

$ grep -rn 'task_pid_vnr(struct' linux/
linux/include/linux/sched.h:1374:
static inline pid_t task_pid_vnr(struct task_struct *tsk)
