proc.5
Michael Kerrisk
Document /proc/meminfo
Info mostly taken from Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
and Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt.
Michael Kerrisk
Default for /proc/sys/fs/protected_{hardlinks,symlinks} is now 0
The default setting of 1 in/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
and /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks caused one too many
breakages for Linus's taste, so commit 561ec64ae67e changed
the default for both files to 0.
Note system call error yielded by /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks
Note that violating 'protected_symlinks' restrictions
causes system calls to fail with the error EACCES.

Bert Hubert
Document IPV6_RECVPKTINFO

Michael Kerrisk
Add a subsection on timer slack
