+ * 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.
