* Various pages that formerly lacked the information now have
a note under RETURN VALUE that errno is set on error.
* Peng Haitao has submitted patches to around 50 pages that note
functions that are thread-safe or thread-unsafe. For this
purpose, the man-pages add a new section, ATTRIBUTES, as
described in the man-pages(7) manual page. Peng Haitao's
substantial work is ongoing, and more pages will add this
information in the future.

epoll_wait.2
Describe timeout limitation in kernels < 2.6.37
As reported by Fredrik (and as far as I can tell the problem
went back to 2.6.0):
The timeout argument has an upper limit. Any values above that
limit are treated the same as -1, i.e. to wait indefinitely.
The limit is given by:
#define EP_MAX_MSTIMEO min(1000ULL * MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT / HZ, \
