CVS commit: src/sys/kern

Module Name:	src
Committed By:	riastradh
Date:		Fri Aug 14 03:03:41 UTC 2026

Modified Files:
	src/sys/kern: kern_proc.c

Log Message:
sysctl kern.proc_args.*.cwd/pathname: Use p_reflock, not p_lock.

- Avoid holding p_lock across copyout; this risks deadlock or panic
  if memory is exhausted and the uvm fault handler during copyout
  tries to deliver SIGKILL, which requires p_lock.

- Avoid holding p_lock across vnode_to_path: this risks deadlock or
  panic if the file system, such as nfs, tries to check for pending
  signals, which requires p_lock.
