The futex man-pages (2,7) from version 3.15-1 and at least a few earlier versions are considerably out of date with respect to the current implementation. They don't document newer op codes, such as: FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET FUTEX_WAKE_BITSET FUTEX_WAKE_OP FUTEX_LOCK_PI FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI These new wait op codes now use absolute timeouts, while the original FUTEX_WAIT uses a relative timeout. Lastly, and most importantly, glibc has removed the futex() wrapper to syscall(SYS_futex, ...). With that in mind, would people prefer that we simply remove the futex man-pages (2,7)?
