That's what I figured, but then how does jail(2) do it? It's
ca.path points to the stack? That's what got me.

That's what I'll end up doing, in my case that would be the best
solution anyway. I'm porting the jail_attach(2)/jls(8) stuff from
5.x and jail_attach(2) chroot()s into a struct vnode rather than a
path (in case someone mv()s the jail root), so it'd be best for me
to just break up chroot() into chroot(char *path) and
vchroot(struct vnode *) and have one just call the other. While
I'm making changes, I can write up a kern_chroot(), no problem.
I still don't quite get how the jail(2) syscall gets away with it.
It does:
{
struct prison j;
struct chroot_args ca;
[...]
ca.path = j.pr_path; /* !!!! */
error = chroot(&ca);
[...]
}
hmmm...
