happens, the context of the interrupted thread is exported to
userland. Unlike most contexts, it will be an async context and
we cannot easily use our existing functions to set such a
context.
To avoid a lot of complexity that may possibly interfere with
the common case, we simply let the kernel deal with it. However,
we don't use the EPC based syscall path to invoke setcontext(2).
No, we use the break-based syscall path. That way the trapframe
will be compatible with the context we're trying to restore and
we save the kernel a lot of trouble. The kind of trouble we did
not want to go though ourselves...
However, we also need to set the threads mailbox and there's no
syscall to help us out. To avoid creating a new syscall, we use
the context itself to pass the information to the kernel so that
the kernel can update the mailbox. This involves setting a flag
(_MC_FLAGS_KSE_SET_MBOX) and setting ifa (the address) and isr
(the value).

TCB. We know that the thread pointer points to &tcb->tcb_tp, so all
we have to do is subtract offsetof(struct tcb, tcb_tp) from the
thread pointer to get to the TCB. Any reasonably smart compiler will
translate accesses to fields in the TCB as negative offsets from TP.
In _tcb_set() make sure the fake TCB gets a pointer to the current
KCB, just like any other TCB. This fixes a NULL-pointer dereference
in _thr_ref_add() when it tried to get the current KSE.

we still add the preemption point because it seems to take the

threads will be swapped more often between CPUs (KSEs) and
that there will be an extra userland context switch (the idle

Previously, there were two copies of telnet; a non-crypto version
that lived in the usual places, and a crypto version that lived in
crypto/telnet/. The latter was built in a broken manner somewhat akin
to other "contribified" sources. This meant that there were 4 telnets
competing with each other at build time - KerberosIV, Kerberos5,
plain-old-secure and base. KerberosIV is no longer in the running, but
the other three took it in turns to jump all over each other during a
"make buildworld".
As the crypto issue has been clarified, and crypto _calls_ are not
a problem, crypto/telnet has been repo-copied to contrib/telnet,
and with this commit, all telnets are now "contribified". The contrib
path was chosen to not destroy history in the repository, and differs
from other contrib/ entries in that it may be worked on as "normal"
BSD code. There is no dangerous crypto in these sources, only a
very weak system less strong than enigma(1).
Kerberos5 telnet and Secure telnet are now selected by using the usual
macros in /etc/make.conf, and the build process is unsurprising and
less treacherous.

system by specifying the file system ID instead of a path. Use this
by default in umount(8). This avoids the need to perform any vnode
operations to look up the mount point, so it makes it possible to
unmount a file system whose root vnode cannot be looked up (e.g.
due to a dead NFS server, or a file system that has become detached
from the hierarchy because an underlying file system was unmounted).
It also provides an unambiguous way to specify which file system is
to be unmunted.
Since the ability to unmount using a path name is retained only for
compatibility, that case now just uses a simple string comparison
of the supplied path against f_mntonname of each mounted file system.

and the disabling of signals. What we are really interested in is
keeping track of recursive disabling of signals. We should not
be recursively acquiring thread locks. Any such situations should
be reorganized to not require a recursive lock.
Separating the two out also allows us to block signals independent of
acquiring thread locks. This will be needed in libthr in the near future when
we put the pieces together to protect libc functions that use pthread mutexes
and low level locks.
