Now it's necessary t use two mount(8) calls to create a read-only
mount:
mount /foo /bar -o bind
mount /bar -o remount,ro,bind
This patch allows to specify "bind,ro" and the remount is done
automatically by libmount by additional mount(2) syscall. It's not
atomic of course.

According to https://lwn.net/Articles/245002/ and checking Linus' git master fs/inode.c it's obvious nodiratime is redundant when mounting with noatime. Clarify that in the man page.
It's backwardly incompatible nonsense to prefer mtab on remount.
mount -o remount /foo
has to read mount options from fstab otherwise the remount has no
effect. (The ideal solution would be to read both mtab, then modify
the options according to fstab -- but for now more important is to be
backwardly compatible.)

Transform some of them into copyright lines.
Also fix three header lines and snip some trailing whitespace.

kernel does not require mount source (e.g. device name) on remount, it
means that fstab/mtab/mountinfo should be optional in this case.
For example:
mount -o rw,remount /
has to work on system without mounted /proc.

The xiafs filesystem was removed from the kernel fifteen years ago,
and any kernel that contained it reached end of life ten years ago.
It's time to stop mentioning it in the mount man page and elsewhere.

Also sort the command-line options alphabetically
(with the customary exception of -V and -h).

* remove the huge and unmaintained list of filesystems, just keep
only very basic FS types in the man pages
* add info about command delimited lists to fstab.5

Sometimes we use "behaviour" and "behavior" in the same text, let's
use "behavior" only everywhere.

I forgot to add the patch to the attachment.
Additional changes to "Changes:"
" \(em " changed to " \(en ", as the em-dash with a word space on each
side is to long (troff)
".na/.ad" is not used but .nf/.fi for a long command line and it is
split into two lines
Word "illegal" is changed to "invalid"
Word "hyphen-separated" is changed to '"hyphen-minus"-separated' as
the meaning is the code and not the glyph (on the command line) (beware
of UTF-8)

This patch comes originally from Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> and updates
the default behaviour of the kernel which has been changed some years
ago. See kernel docs

The wording was confusing and suidperl has gone the way
of the dodo, and really didn't need mentionting in mount.8.

The mount man page said the default permissions are read for

mount(8) needs to be doing silent mounts when doing this brute
forcing or when the filesystem is not explicitly specified.
