Add the -b/ --buckets argument to specify the number of hash buckets for
the private futex hash. This is directly passed to
prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS, buckets, immutable)
and must return without an error if specified. The `immutable' is 0 by
default and can be set to 1 via the -I/ --immutable argument.
The size of the private hash is verified with PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS.
If PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS failed then it is assumed that an older
kernel was used without the support and that the global hash is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
