10b1416d2f Update the documentation for setpgrp(2) to reflect the access control
checks that the code actually performs.  Judging from the 4.2BSD

ccfddc1cce Clarify the behavior of ptrace(2) a little bit: the tracing process
must first attach to the traced process.  If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued.  For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors).  It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time.  When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace().  Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

186e347f2c Fixed a bug in sendfile(2) where the sent data would be corrupted due
to sendfile(2) being erroneously automatically restarted after a signal
is delivered. Fixed by converting ERESTART to EINTR prior to exiting.

and consequences.

ffe40c80ea In the !MNT_BYFSID case, return EINVAL from unmount(2) when the
specified directory is not found in the mount list. Before the
MNT_BYFSID changes, unmount(2) used to return ENOENT for a nonexistent
path and EINVAL for a non-mountpoint, but we can no longer distinguish
between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely
to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was
documented.

Update the manual page to match the current behaviour.
