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 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.
ipv6.7 Bert Hubert Document IPV6_RECVPKTINFO
time.7 Michael Kerrisk Add a subsection on timer slack
