Ville Juven 4c1b66246d env_dup: Fix copying of env between address environments
If address environments are in use, it is not possible to simply
memcpy from from one process to another. The current implementation
of env_dup does precisely this and thus, it fails at once when it is
attempted between two user processes.

The solution is to use the kernel's heap as an intermediate buffer.
This is a simple, effective and common way to do a fork().

Obviously this is not needed for kernel processes.

* Name: nxthread_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_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.
*
* 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.

* Name: nxtask_create
*
* Description:
* This function creates and activates a new task with a specified
* priority and returns its system-assigned ID.
*
* The entry address entry is the address of the "main" function of the
* task. This function will be called once the C environment has been
* set up. The specified function will be called with four arguments.
* Should the specified routine return, a call to exit() will
* automatically be made.
*
* Note that four (and only four) arguments must be passed for the spawned
* functions.
*
* nxtask_create() is identical to the function task_create(), differing
* only in its return value: This function does not modify the errno
* variable. This is a non-standard, internal OS function and is not
* intended for use by application logic. Applications should use
* task_create().
*
* Input Parameters:
* name - Name of the new task
* priority - Priority of the new task
* 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.
*
* 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.
