New Revision: 268471
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/268471

Log:
  For safety, ensure that any consumer of the set_regs() and
  ptrace_set_pc() use the correct return to userspace using iret.
  
  The signal return, PT_CONTINUE (which in fact uses signal return path)
  set the pcb flag already.  The setcontext(2) enforces iret return when
  %rip is incorrect.  Due to this, the change is redundand, but is made
  to ensure that no path which modifies context, forgets to set
  PCB_FULL_IRET.
