 * Name: nxtask_spawn_create
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function creates and activates a new thread of the specified type
 *   with a specified priority and returns its system-assigned ID.  It is the
 *   internal, common implementation of task_create() and kthread_create().
 *   See comments with task_create() for further information.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   name       - Name of the new task
 *   ttype      - Type of the new task
 *   priority   - Priority of the new task
 *   stack_addr - Address of the stack needed
 *   stack_size - Size (in bytes) of the stack needed
 *   entry      - Entry point of a new task
 *   arg        - A pointer to an array of input parameters.  The array
 *                should be terminated with a NULL argv[] value. If no
 *                parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
 *   envp       - A pointer to an array of environment strings. Terminated
 *                with a NULL entry.
 *   actions    - The spawn file actions
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Returns the positive, non-zero process ID of the new task or a negated
 *   errno value to indicate the nature of any failure.  If memory is
 *   insufficient or the task cannot be created -ENOMEM will be returned.

 * Description:

 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *
 *   pidp - Upon successful completion, this will return the task ID of the

 *
 *   name - The name to assign to the child task.

 *     attributes will be set according to the spawn flags.  The
 *     following spawn flags are supported:
 *
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param
 *       value.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new tasks scheduler priority to
 *       the sched_policy value.
 *
 *     NOTE: POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK is handled in nxtask_spawn_proxy().
 *
 *   argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task.  argv[] is an
 *     array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated
 *     with a null pointer.
 *
 *   envp - A pointer to an array of environment strings. Terminated with
 *     a NULL entry.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   This function will return zero on success. Otherwise, an error number
 *   will be returned as the function return value to indicate the error.
 *   This errno value may be that set by execv(), sched_setpolicy(), or
 *   sched_setparam().

 * Name: task_spawn
 *
 * Description:
 *   The task_spawn() function will create a new, child task, where the
 *   entry point to the task is an address in memory.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *
 *   name - The name to assign to the child task.
 *
 *   entry - The child task's entry point (an address in memory)
 *
 *   file_actions - If 'file_actions' is a null pointer, then file
 *     descriptors open in the calling process will remain open in the
 *     child process (unless CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO is defined). If
 *     'file_actions' is not NULL, then the file descriptors open in the
 *     child process will be those open in the calling process as modified
 *     by the spawn file actions object pointed to by file_actions.
 *
 *   attr - If the value of the 'attr' parameter is NULL, the all default
 *     values for the POSIX spawn attributes will be used.  Otherwise, the
 *     attributes will be set according to the spawn flags.  The
 *     posix_spawnattr_t spawn attributes object type is defined in spawn.h.
 *     It will contains these attributes, not all of which are supported by
 *     NuttX:
 *
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP:  Setting of the new task's process group is
 *       not supported.  NuttX does not support process groups.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM: Set new tasks priority to the sched_param
 *       value.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER: Set the new task's scheduler policy to
 *       the sched_policy value.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS: Resetting of the effective user ID of the
 *       child process is not supported.  NuttX does not support effective
 *       user IDs.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK: Set the new task's signal mask.
 *     - POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF:  Resetting signal default actions is not
 *       supported.  NuttX does not support default signal actions.
 *
 *     And the non-standard:
 *
 *     - TASK_SPAWN_SETSTACKSIZE:  Set the stack size for the new task.
 *
 *   argv - argv[] is the argument list for the new task.  argv[] is an
 *     array of pointers to null-terminated strings. The list is terminated
 *     with a null pointer.
 *
 *   envp - envp[] is an array of character pointers to null-terminated
 *     strings that provide the environment for the new process image.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   task_spawn() will return process ID of new task on success.
 *   Otherwise, a negative number will be returned as the function return
 *   value to indicate the error:
 *
 *   - EINVAL: The value specified by 'file_actions' or 'attr' is invalid.
 *   - Any errors that might have been return if vfork() and excec[l|v]()
 *     had been called.
