  Modified files:
    sys/kern             kern_prot.c 
  Log:
  o Add a comment to p_candebug() noting that the P_INEXEC check should
    really be moved elsewhere: p_candebug() encapsulates the security
    policy decision, whereas the P_INEXEC check has to do with "correctness"
    regarding race conditions, rather than security policy.
  
    Example: even if no security protections were enforced (the "uids are
    advisory" model), removing P_INEXEC could result in incorrect operation
    due to races on credential evaluation and modification during execve().
