Cheers, Michael ==================== Changes in man-pages-3.77 ==================== New and rewritten pages ----------------------- seccomp.2 Kees Cook, Michael Kerrisk, Will Drewry [Andy Lutomirski] New page documenting seccomp(2) Combines documentation from prctl, in-kernel seccomp_filter.txt and dropper.c, along with details specific to the new system call. Newly documented interfaces in existing pages --------------------------------------------- netlink.7 Stephan Mueller [Michael Kerrisk] Add NETLINK_CRYPTO Changes to individual pages --------------------------- perf_event_open.2 Vince Weaver Clarify the PERF_FLAG_FD_* flags This change clarifies the behavior of the PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT and PERF_FLAG_FD_NO_GROUP flags to perf_event_open(), and removes the related FIXME comments. While writing tests to validate the behavior of these flags I discovered that PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT has been broken since the 2.6.35 kernel release. prctl.2 Dave Hansen [Michael Kerrisk] Add description of Intel MPX calls The 3.19 kernel will have support for Intel MPX, including a pair of new prctl() calls (PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT and PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT) for enabling and disabling the kernel's management of the "bounds tables". Add a descriptions of the interface. setns.2 pid_namespaces.7 Mike Frysinger Elaborate discussion of the PID namespace descendant limitation The setns(2) man page already mentions that CLONE_NEWPID may only be used with descendant namespaces, but this nuance could be listed in a few more places so it is not missed. sigaction.2 Michael Kerrisk Add siginfo_t fields for SECCOMP_RET_TRAP random.4 Heinrich Schuchardt Describe handling of O_NONBLOCK /dev/random and /dev/urandom treat O_NONBLOCK differently. This should be described in the manpage. Heinrich Schuchardt Mention PRNG used by urandom /dev/urandom uses a pseudo-random number generator to replace missing entropy. proc.5 Michael Kerrisk Document "Seccomp" field of /proc/PID/status tcp.7 Troy Davis Clarify tcp_tw_recycle on Internet-facing hosts Clarify that tcp_tw_recycle will break communication with many general-purpose remote Internet hosts (namely, remote NAT devices) even when the Linux device itself is not behind NAT. -- Michael Kerrisk Linux man-pages maintainer; http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ Linux/UNIX System Programming Training: http://man7.org/training/
