https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/arm64/arm64/swtch.S?revision=302408&view=markup

shows stable/11 has the same issue.

Is this to be MFC'd at some point?


stable/10 seems to have a different code structure:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/10/sys/amd64/amd64/

does not list swtch.S . So I'm unsure about its status for
fork returning to the child process and its handling of the
stack pointer to be restored.
