==================== Changes in man-pages-3.30 ====================
New and rewritten pages
-----------------------
kexec_load.2
Andi Kleen
New page documenting kexec_load(2)
Michael Kerrisk
Add license
Michael Kerrisk
Incorporate fixes from Eric W. Biederman
Eric noted that a few instances of "virtual" should
be "physical" and noted:
There is an expectation that at hand off from sys_kexec
that virtual and physical addresses will be identity
mapped. But this isn't the old Alpha booting convention
where you have a virtual address and then you have to
parse the page table to figure out where your kernel
was actually loaded. Michael Kerrisk
Additions and edits by mtk
Various wording and layout improvements.
Fixed the name of a constant:
s/KEXEC_ARCH_I386/KEXEC_ARCH_386/. Added RETURN VALUE
and ERRORS sections. Added VERSIONS section
Note that CONFIG_KEXEC is needed
Removed details of using syscall; the reader can find them
in syscall(2).
Added some details for KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT.
Revised the text mentioning the kernel header, since it is
not yet exported, and it's not certain that it will be.

Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_SYSVSEM
Michael Kerrisk
Document CLONE_NEWUTS

Relocate discussion of CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CLONE_NEWNS section

preparation for the new flags to be documented.
Global changes
--------------
Various pages
Michael Kerrisk
Add reference to feature_test_macros(7)
Some pages simply list feature test macro requirements in
the form:
#define #GNU_SOURCE
#include <someheader.h>
For these pages, add a "See feature_test_macros(7)" comment
on the "#define" line.
Various pages
David Prevot
