when the buffer is not long enough to hold the current host name.
POSIX does not standardize error returns for gethostname(), so it
doesn't matter which one we use, but ENAMETOOLONG is at least a little
more intuitive, and mi suggests the existence of prior art. I've been
running with this change for a while on my home machine with no
effect. At the same time, I've updated the prototype for
gethostname() to use the correct standard type (size_t) for the
namelen argument.
All of the in-tree callers fall into one of the following categories:
1) Call perror() or equivalent when gethostname() fails.
2) Ignore gethostname()'s return value entirely, potentially resulting
in data corruption if the buffer is too small.
3) Fall back to a (possibly sensible) default value if gethostname()
fails.
Many of the callers I examined shows signs of confusion about the
correct sizing of the host name buffer. gethostname(3) now has more
information about this, as well as updated standards information.

yet, so we can protect some locking code from being interrupted by signal
handling. When KSE mode is turned on, reset the thread flag to scope process
except we are running in 1:1 mode which we needn't turn it off.
Also remove some unused member variables in structure kse.

- All those diffs to syscalls.master for each architecture *are*
necessary. This needed clarification; the stub code generation for
mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from
linking to this API (suggested by mux)
- Giant has been quoshed. It is no longer held by the code, as
the required locking has been pushed down within vm_map.c.
- Callers must specify VM_MAP_WIRE_HOLESOK or VM_MAP_WIRE_NOHOLES
to express their intention explicitly.
- Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
- The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
- Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly

We're comparing the node fields...
o uuid_compare(3) is specified to return -1, 0 or 1, depending on
the outcome of the comparison. memcmp(3) returns the difference
between the first differing bytes. Hence, we cannot ever return
the return value of memcmp(3) as-is.

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).
