The overall sequence is: * * 1) User code calls vfork(). vfork() collects context information and * transfers control up up_vfork(). * 2) up_vfork() and calls nxtask_setup_vfork(). * 3) nxtask_setup_vfork() 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 * - Allocate and initialize the stack * - Setup the input 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: * - Initialize special values in any CPU registers that were not * already configured by up_initial_state() * 5) up_vfork() then calls nxtask_start_vfork() * 6) nxtask_start_vfork() then executes the child thread. * * Input Parameters: * None * * Returned Value: * 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. * ****************************************************************************/ .globl vfork .type vfork, function vfork: /* Create a stack frame */ mov r0, sp /* Save the value of the stack on entry */ sub sp, sp, #VFORK_SIZEOF /* Allocate the structure on the stack */ /* CPU registers */ /* Save the volatile registers */ str r4, [sp, #VFORK_R4_OFFSET] str r5, [sp, #VFORK_R5_OFFSET] str r6, [sp, #VFORK_R6_OFFSET] str r7, [sp, #VFORK_R7_OFFSET] str r8, [sp, #VFORK_R8_OFFSET] str r9, [sp, #VFORK_R9_OFFSET] str r10, [sp, #VFORK_R10_OFFSET] /* Save the frame pointer, stack pointer, and return address */ str fp, [sp, #VFORK_FP_OFFSET] str r0, [sp, #VFORK_SP_OFFSET] str lr, [sp, #VFORK_LR_OFFSET] /* Floating point registers (not yet) */ /* Then, call up_vfork(), passing it a pointer to the stack structure */ mov r0, sp bl up_vfork /* Release the stack data and return the value returned by up_vfork */ ldr lr, [sp, #VFORK_LR_OFFSET] add sp, sp, #VFORK_SIZEOF bx lr .size vfork, .-vfork .end
