    Add EPERM error triggered by /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlink

    prctl.2
    Kees Cook
    update seccomp sections for mode 2 (BPF)
    This adds a short summary of the arguments used
    for "mode 2" (BPF) seccomp.
    Michael Kerrisk
    Small improvements to PR_SET_SECCOMP discussion
    Note type of 'arg3' for SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER.
    Add pointer to Documentation/prctl/seccomp_filter.txt.
    Michael Kerrisk
    Note 'seccomp' semantics with respect to fork(), execve(), and prctl()
    Michael Kerrisk
    Document PR_SET_TIMERSLACK and PR_GET_TIMERSLACK
    Kees Cook
    document PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS
    This adds a short description of the no_new_privs bit,
    as described in Documentation/prctl/no_new_privs.txt.

    proc.5
    Michael Kerrisk
    Document /proc/meminfo

    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.

    ipv6.7
    Bert Hubert
    Document IPV6_RECVPKTINFO

    time.7
    Michael Kerrisk
    Add a subsection on timer slack
