2013-07-02perf_event_open.2: Update to match the Linux 3.10 releaseVince Weaver1-12/+148
This patch updates the perf_event_open() documentation to include new interfaces added in the 3.10 kernel. It also documents a few [To be documented] instances left over from the 3.7 kernel.

2013-07-02perf_event_open.2 Add PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP documentationVince Weaver1-5/+19
The perf_event_open() ENABLE/DISABLE/RESET ioctls can take an argument, PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP. This wasn't documented at all until about a year ago (despite the support being there from the beginning) so I missed this when initially writing the man page.

2013-06-21execve: Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointersPeter LaDow1-2/+4
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a functional, but non-portable, use of execve(). For example: char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL }; execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL); The call succeeds. Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly) pointed out that envp could be dereferenced. But digging into glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL is treated as if it were an empty list. So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

2013-05-19io_setup.2: Clarify the nr_events parameterCyril Hrubis1-2/+2
Currently the io_setup.2 man page describes what the kernel really does, i.e., that the resulting context may be able to hold more than the 'nr_event's operations because the memory allocated in kernel is rounded to be multiple of page size. It is better not to expose this implementation detail and simply state that the resulting context is suitable for 'nr_events' operations.
