Fwd: exit: Bug reporting

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

I'll forward these 2 mails to the mailing list (and Michael (mtk) too; 
maybe he can correct me).

I'll answer in a reply to this email.

Hello, Alejandro.

Pages this <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html> and 
this <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscalls.2.html> have 
different count of 'exit' calls, 4 and 2 respectively.

According to these pages 
(<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl>, 
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl>), 
there are only 2 system calls containing 'exit' - *exit* and 
*exit_group*.  So it seems '_Exit' and '_exit' are redundant here 
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html>. Please correct me 
if I am wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Alejandro.

Entry exit(2) on this 
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_2.html> page directs to 
page with _exit(2) in the header.
According to these pages 
(<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl>, 
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.11/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl>), 
system call itself is called *exit* so it would be nice to fix the 
header to avoid the confusion. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks in advance!
