New and rewritten pages ----------------------- pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_attr_setaffinity_np(3) and pthread_attr_getaffinity_np(3) pthread_attr_setschedparam.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_attr_setschedparam(3) and pthread_attr_getschedparam(3) pthread_attr_setschedpolicy.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(3) and pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(3) pthread_setaffinity_np.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_setaffinity_np(3) and pthread_getaffinity_np(3) pthread_setschedparam.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_setschedparam(3) and pthread_getschedparam(3) pthread_setschedprio.3 Michael Kerrisk New page for pthread_setschedprio(3) New and changed links --------------------- pthread_attr_getaffinity_np.3 Michael Kerrisk New link to new pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3 pthread_attr_getschedparam.3 Michael Kerrisk New link to new pthread_attr_setschedparam.3 pthread_attr_getschedpolicy.3 Michael Kerrisk New link to new pthread_attr_setschedpolicy.3 pthread_getaffinity_np.3 Michael Kerrisk New link to new pthread_setaffinity_np.3 pthread_getschedparam.3 Michael Kerrisk New link to new pthread_setschedparam.3 Global changes -------------- pthread_attr_setaffinity_np.3 pthread_getattr_np.3 pthread_setaffinity_np.3 pthread_tryjoin_np.3 Michael Kerrisk Explain _np suffix Add text to CONFORMING TO explaining that the "_np" suffix is because these functions are non-portable. Changes to individual pages --------------------------- sched_setaffinity.2 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: add sched_getcpu(3) sched_setaffinity.2 Michael Kerrisk SEE ALSO: Add pthread_setaffinity_np(3) sched_setaffinity.2 Michael Kerrisk Clarify EINVAL error for cpusetsize < kernel mask size For sched_setaffinity(), the EINVAL error that occurs if 'cpusetsize' is smaller than the kernel CPU set size only occurs with kernels before 2.6.9. vfork.2 Michael Kerrisk Child holds parent's memory until execve() or *termination* The page was phrased in a few places to describe the child as holding the parent's memory until the child does an execve(2) or an _exit(2). The latter case should really be the more general process termination (i.e., either _exit(2) or abnormal termination). clock_getres.3 Michael Kerrisk CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID not setabble According to POSIX.1-2001, the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clocks should be settable, but currently they are not. pthread_attr_setstacksize.3 Michael Kerrisk, after a report by Karsten Weiss EINVAL occurs on some systems if stacksize != page-size On MacOS X at least, pthread_attr_setstacksize(3) can fail with EINVAL if 'stacksize' is not a multiple of the system page size. Best to mention this so as to aid people writing portable programs. pthread_create.3 Karsten Weiss Fix bug in EXAMPLE program The calloc() line should read like this instead: tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info)); pthread_exit.3 Michael Kerrisk BUGS: thread group with a dead leader and stop signals Document the bug that can occur when a stop signal is sent to a thread group whose leader has terminated. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/611611 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122525468300823&w=2 resolver.3 Michael Kerrisk Fix prototype of dn_expand() The 4th argument is "char *", not "unsigned char *". http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504708 epoll.7 Michael Kerrisk Fix error handling after accept() in example code Simply continuing after an error is in most cases wrong, and can lead to infinite loops (e.g., for EMFILE). So handle an error by terminating. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504202 epoll.7 Michael Kerrisk Add error handling for epoll_wait() call in example code epoll.7 Michael Kerrisk Improve example code Fill in some gaps in example code (variable declarations, adding listening socket to epoll set). Give variables more meaningful names. Other minor changes. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504202 iso_8859-7.7 Lefteris Dimitroulakis Add characters for Drachma and Greek Ypogegrammeni Lines for these two characters were added in the previous patch, but the actual characters were not included in the 4th column of the table. This fixes that. pthreads.7 Michael Kerrisk Add a section describing thread IDs In particular, note that in each pthreads function that takes a thread ID argument, that ID by definition refers to a thread in the same process as the caller. -- Michael Kerrisk Linux man-pages maintainer; http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git man-pages online: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online_pages.html Found a bug? http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/reporting_bugs.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
