* Name: task_vforksetup
*
* Description:
* The vfork() function has the same effect as fork(), except that the
* behavior is undefined if the process created by vfork() either modifies
* any data other than a variable of type pid_t used to store the return
* value from vfork(), or returns from the function in which vfork() was
* called, or calls any other function before successfully calling _exit()
* or one of the exec family of functions.
*
* This functin provides one step in the overall vfork() sequence: It
* Allocates and initializes the child task's TCB. The overall sequence is:
*
* 1) User code calls vfork(). vfork() is provided in architecture-specific
* code.
* 2) vfork()and calls task_vforksetup().
* 3) task_vforksetup() allocates and configures the child task's TCB. This
* consists of:
* - Allocation of the child task's TCB.
* - Initialization of file descriptors and streams
* - Configuration of environment variables
* - Setup the intput parameters for the task.
* - Initialization of the TCB (including call to up_initial_state()
* 4) up_vfork() provides any additional operating context. up_vfork must:
* - Allocate and initialize the stack
* - Initialize special values in any CPU registers that were not
* already configured by up_initial_state()
* 5) up_vfork() then calls task_vforkstart()
* 6) task_vforkstart() then executes the child thread.
*
* Input Paremeters:
* retaddr - The return address from vfork() where the child task
* will be started.
*
* Returned Value:
* Upon successful completion, task_vforksetup() returns a pointer to
* newly allocated and initalized child task's TCB. NULL is returned
* on any failure and the errno is set appropriately.
