+ * Name: vfork
+ *
+ * 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 thin layer implements vfork by simply calling up_vfork() with the vfork()
+ *   context as an argument.  The overall sequence is:
+ *
+ *   1) User code calls vfork().  vfork() collects context information and
+ *      transfers control up up_vfork().
+ *   2) up_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:
+ *   None
+ *
+ * Return:
+ *   Upon successful completion, vfork() returns 0 to the child process and returns
+ *   the process ID of the child process to the parent process. Otherwise, -1 is
+ *   returned to the parent, no child process is created, and errno is set to
+ *   indicate the error.
