[PATCH 0/2] futex: extend the futex(2) and futex(7) manpages for TP futexes

From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Sep 30 2016 - 17:28:51 EST


This patchset includes changes to the futex(2) and futex(7) manpages
to add descriptions for the new throughput-optimized (TP) futexes
that can be used to implement userspace mutexes.

This patchset includes a place holder (4.X) for the exact version that
the new TP futexes code is merged. That will be changed later on when
it is known.

Waiman Long (2):
futex.2: Add description about the FUTEX_LOCK/FUTEX_UNLOCK operations
futex.7: Add description about the FUTEX_LOCK/FUTEX_UNLOCK operations
