 * Name: up_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. 
 *
 *   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.
 *
 * task_vforkabort() may be called if an error occurs between steps 3 and 6.
 *
 * Input Paremeters:
 *   context - Caller context information saved by vfork()
 *
 * 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.
