Overview
Request 115156 accepted
- update to version 3.39
* New and rewritten pages
malloc_trim.3
New man page for malloc_trim(3)
malloc_usable_size.3
New man page for malloc_usable_size(3)
* Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
prctl.2
Document PR_SET_MM (new in Linux 3.3)
Various edits and improvements to Cyrill's patch
* Changes to individual pages
epoll_create.2
Rework discussion of 'size' argument
Add .SS for description of epoll_create1()
epoll_wait.2
Another thread can add to epoll instance while epoll_wait is blocked
See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43072
Clarify that epoll_pwait() blocks calling *thread*
A few wording improvements
fchmodat.2
Note difference between glibc wrapper and underlying system call
The wrapper function has a 'flags' argument (which currently
serves no purpose), while the underlying system call does not.
fcntl.2
Explain behaviour of F_GETLEASE during lease break
Change type of arg from "long" to "int"
Various fcntl(2) commands require an integral 'arg'.
The man page said it must be "long" in all such cases.
However, for the cases covered by POSIX, there is an
explicit requirement that these arguments be "int".
