33 * pid = vforkx(flags);
34 * syscall trap: forksys(2, flags)
36 * pid = vfork();
37 * syscall trap: forksys(2, 0)
39 * From the syscall:
40 * %edx == 0 in parent process, %edx = 1 in child process.
41 * %eax == pid of child in parent, %eax == pid of parent in child.
43 * The child gets a zero return value.
44 * The parent gets the pid of the child.
48 * The child of vfork() will execute in the parent's address space,
49 * thereby changing the stack before the parent runs again.
50 * Therefore we have to be careful how we return from vfork().
51 * Pity the poor debugger developer who has to deal with this kludge.
53 * We block all blockable signals while performing the vfork() system call
54 * trap. This enables us to set curthread->ul_vfork safely, so that we
55 * don't end up in a signal handler with curthread->ul_vfork set wrong.
