Global changes
--------------

pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3
pthread_getattr_np.3
pthread_setaffinity_np.3
pthread_tryjoin_np.3
     Michael Kerrisk
         Explain _np suffix
             Add text to CONFORMING TO explaining that the "_np"
             suffix is because these functions are non-portable.


Changes to individual pages
---------------------------

sched_setaffinity.2
     Michael Kerrisk
         SEE ALSO: add sched_getcpu(3)

sched_setaffinity.2
     Michael Kerrisk
         SEE ALSO: Add pthread_setaffinity_np(3)

sched_setaffinity.2
     Michael Kerrisk
         Clarify EINVAL error for cpusetsize < kernel mask size
             For sched_setaffinity(), the EINVAL error that occurs
             if 'cpusetsize' is smaller than the kernel CPU set size only
             occurs with kernels before 2.6.9.

vfork.2
     Michael Kerrisk
         Child holds parent's memory until execve() or *termination*
             The page was phrased in a few places to describe the child as
             holding the parent's memory until the child does an execve(2)
             or an _exit(2).  The latter case should really be the more
             general process termination (i.e., either _exit(2) or abnormal
             termination).

clock_getres.3
     Michael Kerrisk
         CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID not setabble
             According to POSIX.1-2001, the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and
             CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clocks should be settable, but
             currently they are not.

pthread_attr_setstacksize.3
     Michael Kerrisk, after a report by Karsten Weiss
         EINVAL occurs on some systems if stacksize != page-size
             On MacOS X at least, pthread_attr_setstacksize(3) can fail
             with EINVAL if 'stacksize' is not a multiple of the system
             page size.  Best to mention this so as to aid people writing
             portable programs.

pthread_create.3
     Karsten Weiss
         Fix bug in EXAMPLE program
             The calloc() line should read like this instead:

                 tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info));

pthread_exit.3
     Michael Kerrisk
         BUGS: thread group with a dead leader and stop signals
             Document the bug that can occur when a stop signal
             is sent to a thread group whose leader has terminated.

             http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122525468300823&w=2

resolver.3
     Michael Kerrisk
         Fix prototype of dn_expand()
             The 4th argument is "char *", not "unsigned char *".
             http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504708

epoll.7
     Michael Kerrisk
         Fix error handling after accept() in example code
             Simply continuing after an error is in most cases wrong,
             and can lead to infinite loops (e.g., for EMFILE).
             So handle an error by terminating.
             http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504202

epoll.7
     Michael Kerrisk
         Add error handling for epoll_wait() call in example code

epoll.7
     Michael Kerrisk
         Improve example code
             Fill in some gaps in example code (variable declarations,
             adding listening socket to epoll set).
             Give variables more meaningful names.
             Other minor changes.

iso_8859-7.7
     Lefteris Dimitroulakis
         Add characters for Drachma and Greek Ypogegrammeni
             Lines for these two characters were added in the previous patch,
             but the actual characters were not included in the 4th column
             of the table.  This fixes that.

pthreads.7
     Michael Kerrisk
         Add a section describing thread IDs
             In particular, note that in each pthreads function that takes
             a thread ID argument, that ID by definition refers to a thread
             in the same process as the caller.
