|
|
.Fd #include \*[Lt]sys/proc.h\*[Gt]
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn cpu_fork "struct proc *p1" "struct proc *p2" "void *stack" \

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn cpu_fork
|
|
is the machine-dependent portion of
|
|
.Fn fork1
|
|
which finishes a fork operation, with child process
|
|
.Fa p2
|
|
nearly set up.
|
|
It copies and updates the PCB and trap frame from the parent
|
|
.Fa p1 ,
|
|
making the child ready to run.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn cpu_fork
|
|
rigs the child's kernel stack so that it will start in
|
|
.Fn proc_trampoline .
|
|
.Fn proc_trampoline
|
|
does not have a normal calling sequence and is entered by
|
|
.Fn cpu_switch .
|
|
If an alternate user-level stack is requested (with non-zero values
|
|
in both the
|
|
.Fa stack
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa stacksize
|
|
arguments), the user stack pointer is set up accordingly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After being entered by
|
|
.Fn cpu_switch
|
|
and while running in user context (within the kernel)
|
|
.Fn proc_trampoline
|
|
will invoke the function
|
|
.Fa func
|
|
with the argument
|
|
.Fa arg .
|
|
If a kernel thread is being created, the return path and argument
|
|
are specified with
|
|
.Fa func
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa arg .
|
|
If a user process is being created,
|
|
.Fn fork1
|
|
will pass
|
|
.Fn child_return
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa p2
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn cpu_fork
|
|
as
|
|
.Fa func
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
respectively.
|
|
This causes the newly-created child process to go directly to user
|
|
level with an apparent return value of 0 from
|
|
.Xr fork 2 ,
|
|
while the parent process returns normally.
