 .Sh NAME
 .Nm linux
 .Nd Linux ABI support
 .Sh SYNOPSIS
 To enable the Linux ABI at boot time, place the following line in
 .Xr rc.conf 5 :
 .Bd -literal -offset indent
 linux_enable="YES"
 .Ed
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Nm
 kernel module provides limited Linux ABI (application binary interface)
 compatibility, making it possible to run many unmodified Linux applications
 without the need for virtualization or emulation.
 Some of the facilities provided are:
 .Bl -bullet
 .It
 Linux to native system call translation
 .It
 Linux-specific system calls
 .It
 Special signal handling for Linux processes
 .It
 Path translation mechanism
 .It
 Linux-specific virtual file systems
 .El
 .Pp
 The path translation mechanism makes Linux processes look up file paths
 under
 .Va emul_path
 (defaulting to
 .Pa /compat/linux )
 before
 .Pa / .
 For example, when Linux process attempts to open
 .Pa /etc/passwd ,
-it will really access
+it will first access
 .Pa /compat/linux/etc/passwd ,
-unless the latter does not exist.
+falling back to
+.Pa /etc/passwd
+if the former does not exist.
 This is used to make sure Linux processes load Linux shared libraries
 instead of their similarly-named FreeBSD counterparts, and also
 to provide alternative versions of certain other files and virtual
 file systems.
 .Pp
 To install Linux shared libraries and system files into
 .Pa /compat/linux ,
 either use the
 .Pa emulators/linux_base-c7
 port or package,
 or
 .Xr debootstrap 8
 installed from
 .Pa sysutils/debootstrap .
 .Pp
 To avoid mounting Linux-specific filesystems at startup, add the following
 line to the
 .Xr rc.conf 5
 file:
 .Pp
 .Dl linux_mounts_enable="NO"
 .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
 The following variables are available as both
 .Xr sysctl 8
 variables and
 .Xr loader 8
 tunables:
 .Bl -tag -width indent
 .It Va compat.linux.debug
 Enable debugging messages.
 Set to 0 to silence them.
 Defaults to 3.
 A setting of 1 prints debug messages, tells about unimplemented stuff (only
 once).
 Set to 2 is like 1, but also prints messages about implemented but not tested
 stuff (only once).
 Setting it to 3 or higher is like 2, but no rate limiting of messages.
 .It Va compat.linux.default_openfiles
 Default soft openfiles resource limit for Linux applications.
 Set to -1 to disable the limit.
 Defaults to 1024.
 .It Va compat.linux.emul_path
 Path to the Linux run-time environment.
 Defaults to
 .Pa /compat/linux .
 .It Va compat.linux.osname
 Linux kernel operating system name.
 Defaults to "Linux".
 .It Va compat.linux.osrelease
 Linux kernel operating system release.
 Changing this to something else is discouraged on non-development systems,
 because it may change the way Linux programs work.
 Some versions of GNU libc are known to use different syscalls depending
 on the value of this sysctl.
 .It Va compat.linux.oss_version
 Linux Open Sound System version.
 Defaults to 198144.
 .It Va compat.linux.preserve_vstatus
 When set to 1, it prevents Linux applications from resetting the
 .Xr termios 4
 VSTATUS setting.
 From a user perspective, this makes
 .Va SIGINFO
 work for Linux executables.
 Defaults to 1.
 .It Va compat.linux.setid_allowed
 Enable handling of set-user-ID and set-group-ID mode bits for the new
 process image file when image is to be executed under Linux ABI.
 When set to 0, new Linux images always use credentials of the program
 that issued the
 .Xr execve 2
 call, regardless of the image file mode.
 This might be reasonable or even required, because
 .Fx
 does not emulate the Linux environment completely, and missed features
 may result in security vulnerabilities.
 Defaults to 1.
 .It Va compat.linux32.emulate_i386
 In the x86_64 (amd64) world enable the real i386 Linuxulator behavior.
 For example, when set to 0, Linux uname -m will return "x86_64" even if
 uname itself is a i386 Linux executable. When set to 1, Linux i386
 uname -m will return "i686".
 Defaults to 0.

 .Sh HISTORY
 Linux ABI support first appeared for i386 in
 .Fx 2.1 .
 Support for amd64 binaries first appeared in
 .Fx 10.3 .
 Support for arm64 binaries first appeared in
 .Fx 12.0 .
 .Sh BUGS
 Support for some of the Linux-specific system calls and system call arguments
 is missing.
