# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 251047 28-May-2013 kib

The getcontext() from the __fillcontextx() call in the
check_deferred_signal() returns twice, since handle_signal() emulates
the return from the normal signal handler by sigreturn(2)ing the
passed context. Second return is performed on the destroyed stack
frame, because __fillcontextx() has already returned. This causes
undefined and bad behaviour, usually the victim thread gets SIGSEGV.

Avoid nested frame and the need to return from it by doing direct call
to getcontext() in the check_deferred_signal() and using a new private
libc helper __fillcontextx2() to complement the context with the
extended CPU state if the deferred signal is still present.

The __fillcontextx() is now unused, but is kept to allow older
libthr.so to be used with the new libc.

Mark __fillcontextx() as returning twice [1].

# 230429 21-Jan-2012 kib

Add API for obtaining extended machine context states that cannot be
fit into existing mcontext_t.

On i386 and amd64 do return the extended FPU states using
getcontextx(3). For other architectures, getcontextx(3) returns the
same information as getcontext(2).
