New and rewritten pages
-----------------------

getcpu.2
     Andi Kleen, with some text and edits by mtk
         Documents the getcpu(2) system call, introduced in Linux 2.6.19.

sched_getcpu.3
     mtk
         Documents sched_getcpu(3), a wrapper for getcpu(2), provided
         since glibc 2.6.

cpuset.7
     Paul Jackson, with review and editing by mtk, and comments by
     Hidetoshi Seto and Li Zefan
         A description of the cpuset file system, the mechanism introduced
         kernel 2.6.12 for confining processes to designated processors
         and nodes.  (Becomes the fourth largest page in man-pages!)

Newly documented interfaces in existing pages
---------------------------------------------

readdir.3
     mtk
         Add documentation of readdir_r().

New links

     mtk
         Small wording change.

io_getevents.2
     mtk
         ERRORS: Add EINTR error.

open.2
     mtk
         ERRORS: Add EINTR error.

sigaction.2
     mtk
         Note circumstances in which each SA_* flag is meaningful.
     mtk
         Describe POSIX specification, and Linux semantics for
         SA_NOCLDWAIT when establishing a handler for SIGCHLD.
     mtk
         Add pointer under SA_RESTART to new text in signal(7)
         describing system call restarting.
     mtk
         Other minor edits.

truncate.2
     mtk
         ERRORS: Added EINTR error.
         A few minor rewordings.

wait.2
     mtk
         Remove statement that WUNTRACED and WCONTINUED only have effect
         if SA_NOCLDSTOP has not been set for SIGCHLD.  That's not true.

errno.3
     mtk
         Add a pointer to signal(7) for further explanation of EINTR.

getgrouplist.3
     mtk
         SEE ALSO: Add passwd(5).

readdir.3
     mtk
         Remove <sys/types.h> from SYNOPSIS; POSIX.1-2001 does not
         require it.
         Some minor rewordings.

sleep.3
     mtk
         RETURN VALUE: explicitly mention interruption by signal handler.
         SEE ALSO: add signal(7).

usleep.3
     mtk
         POSIX.1-2001 also does not document EINVAL.

group.5
     mtk
         SEE ALSO: Add getgrent(3), getgrnam(3).

passwd.5
     mtk
         SEE ALSO: Add getpwent(3), getpwnam(3).

proc.5
     mtk
         Add pointer to description of /proc/PID/cpuset in cpuset(7).

signal.7
     mtk
         Add a section describing system call restarting, and noting
         which system calls are affected by SA_RESTART, and which
         system calls are never restarted.
     mtk
         Describe the aberrant Linux behavior whereby a stop signal
         plus SIGCONT can interrupt some system calls, even if no
         signal handler has been established, and note the system
         calls that behave this way.
     mtk
         Note a few more architectures on which signal numbers are valid.
         SEE ALSO: added a number of pages.
     mtk
         Update async-signal-safe function list for POSIX.1-2004 (which
         adds sockatmark()).
