New Revision: 309533
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/309533

Log:
  MFC r309026: open(2): Clarify non-POSIX error when opening a symlink with
  O_NOFOLLOW.
  
  We return [EMLINK] instead of [ELOOP] when trying to open a symlink with
  O_NOFOLLOW, so that the original case of [ELOOP] can be distinguished. Code
  like cmp -h and xz takes advantage of this.
