75859ca578 o In struct prison, add an allprison linked list of prisons (protected
by allprison_mtx), a unique prison/jail identifier field, two path
  fields (pr_path for reporting and pr_root vnode instance) to store
  the chroot() point of each jail.
o Add jail_attach(2) to allow a process to bind to an existing jail.
o Add change_root() to perform the chroot operation on a specified
  vnode.
o Generalize change_dir() to accept a vnode, and move namei() calls
  to callers of change_dir().
o Add a new sysctl (security.jail.list) which is a group of
  struct xprison instances that represent a snapshot of active jails.

ac892a9234 Document a bug in our chroot(2) implementation: if access control
checks, including the "open directory" check or a MAC check fail,
after the working directory of the process has been changed, then
the cwd of the process will be left as the target directory rather
than the original directory.

At some point, this bug might be fixable by performing the directory
change only after permission is granted for the change.  In the
mean time document it (it's been there for a while).
