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_vforksetup(). * 3) nxtask_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 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: * - 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 nxtask_vforkstart() * 6) nxtask_vforkstart() 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. * ************************************************************************************/ .align 2 .code 16 .thumb_func .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 */ mov r1, sp stmia r1!, {r4-r7} /* Save r4-r7 in the structure */ mov r4, r8 /* Copy high registers to low registers */ mov r5, r9 mov r6, r10 mov r7, fp stmia r1!, {r4-r7} /* Save r8-r10 and fp in the structure */ mov r5, lr /* Copy lr to a low register */ stmia r1!, {r0,r5} /* Save sp and lr in the structure */ /* Then, call up_vfork(), passing it a pointer to the stack structure */ mov r0, sp bl up_vfork /* Recover r4-r7 that were destroyed before up_vfork was called */ mov r1, sp ldmia r1!, {r4-r7} /* Release the stack data and return the value returned by up_vfork */ ldr r1, [sp, #VFORK_LR_OFFSET] mov r14, r1 add sp, sp, #VFORK_SIZEOF bx lr .size vfork, .-vfork .end
