 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/arch/m68k/m68k: reenter_syscall.s
 
 Log Message:
 Plug kernel stack leaks in reenter_syscall() for setcontext(2).
 
 This fixes long standing kernel crashes (MMU fault, address error,
 and silent freeze by a double bus fault etc. seen for ~10 years)
 caused by kernel stack overflow, especially on x68k and sun3 running
 Xorg based servers.  See PR/55990 for more details.
 
 "This change seems perfectly reasonable" from thorpej@ and
 jklos@ also reported this also solved freeze of his mac68k system
 with 10 megabyes of memory.
 
 Should be pulled up to netbsd-9 and netbsd-8.
