- * 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.
