            Bug ID: 220723
           Summary: the man page seccomp(2) instructs the user to include
                    <linux/signal.h> and it causes conflicts
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: mpatocka@redhat.com
        Regression: No

The man page seccomp(2) instructs the user to include these files:

       #include <linux/seccomp.h>  /* Definition of SECCOMP_* constants */
       #include <linux/filter.h>   /* Definition of struct sock_fprog */
       #include <linux/audit.h>    /* Definition of AUDIT_* constants */
       #include <linux/signal.h>   /* Definition of SIG* constants */
       #include <sys/ptrace.h>     /* Definition of PTRACE_* constants */
       #include <sys/syscall.h>    /* Definition of SYS_* constants */
       #include <unistd.h>

However, the include file <linux/signal.h> defines sigset_t and struct timeval
and they clash with the glibc definition. <linux/signal.h> should be changed to
<signal.h> in the man page.

How to reproduce: Try to compile this program:

#include <linux/seccomp.h>
#include <linux/filter.h>
#include <linux/audit.h>
#include <linux/signal.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
        return 0;
}

You get these errors:
