A bunch of updates to the prctl(2) man page to fill in missing
prctls (mostly) up to Linux 5.6 (along with a few other tweaks and
fixes).
Patches from the v1 series [1] that have been applied or rejected
already have been dropped.
People not Cc'd on the whole series can find the whole series at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/ .
Patches:
* Patch 1 is a new (but trivial) formatting fix, unrelated to the new
prctls.
* Patches 2-3 relate to the speculation control prctls. These are
unmodified from v1, but need review.
* Patches 4-5 relate to the arm64 prctls from v1, with reviewer
feedback incorporated. (See notes in the patches.)
* Patch 6 is *draft* wording for the arm64 address tagging prctls.
The semantics of address tagging is particularly slippery, so
this needs discussion before merging.
