Maybe .Fx provides?

957

of <remove the> processes owned by a different uid

1043

And we should probably write "Position Independent Executable (PIE)"
(Correct pluralization is left as an exercise)

"sysctl's" is a possessive here; since there's only one sysctl in question the apostrophe should go before the final 's'.

969

Maybe "only allows unprivileged users to send"?

985

"so-called" is hyphenated.
I'd consider wrapping Meltdown in .Dq as well, but that's less clear.

987

"By default, the system detects whether the CPU needs the workaround".

1002

spurious space here.

1007

Maybe, "which report errors other than"

1022

I think the grammar is better as "on NMI; this provides"

1042

"a non-zero value"

1043

"the end of the aux vector"

1045

comma both before and after "i.e.".

No, kern.proc is the node under which real sysctls are located, like kern.proc.all etc.
