Changes to individual pages
---------------------------
open.2
Michael Kerrisk [Geoffrey Thomas]
Remove warning that O_DIRECTORY is only for use with opendir(3)
O_DIRECTORY can also be used with, for example, O_PATH.
perf_event_open.2
Vince Weaver
Improve PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK documentation
Vince Weaver
Fix indentation of the MMAP layout section
The indentation of the MMAP layout section wasn't quite right.
I think this improves things but I admit I'm not an expert at the
low-level indentation directives.
Vince Weaver
Update PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP info
It turns out PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP was broken from 75f937f24bd9
(in Linux 2.6.31, the initial perf_event release) until
724b6daa1 (Linux 3.4).
I've done some extensive kernel source code digging plus
running tests of various kernels and I hope the info
presented is accurate now.
(Patch edited somewhat by mtk.)
Vince Weaver
Improve sysfs files documentation
This improves the documentation of the various
perf_event_open()-related sysfs files.
ptrace.2
Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin]
If SEIZE was used, initial auto-attach stop is EVENT_STOP
For every PTRACE_O_TRACEfoo option, mention that old-style SIGSTOP
is replaced by PTRACE_EVENT_STOP if PTRACE_SEIZE attach was used.
Mention the same thing again in the description of
PTRACE_EVENT_STOP.
Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin]
Mention that PTRACE_PEEK* libc API and kernel API are different
Denys Vlasenko [Oleg Nesterov, Dmitry V. Levin]
Clarify PTRACE_INTERRUPT, PTRACE_LISTEN, and group-stop behavior
