 * pid = vforkx(flags);
 * syscall trap: forksys(2, flags)
 *
 * pid = vfork();
 * syscall trap: forksys(2, 0)
 *
 * From the syscall:
 * %edx == 0 in parent process, %edx = 1 in child process.
 * %eax == pid of child in parent, %eax == pid of parent in child.
 *
 * The child gets a zero return value.
 * The parent gets the pid of the child.
 */

/*
 * The child of vfork() will execute in the parent's address space,
 * thereby changing the stack before the parent runs again.
 * Therefore we have to be careful how we return from vfork().
 * Pity the poor debugger developer who has to deal with this kludge.
 *
 * We block all blockable signals while performing the vfork() system call
 * trap.  This enables us to set curthread->ul_vfork safely, so that we
 * don't end up in a signal handler with curthread->ul_vfork set wrong.
